What Our Riders Say

Easy riding, stunning landscapes!

We absolutely LOVED the RailBike adventure….we are so glad we added this to our itinerary while visiting NZ! The scenery was just spectacular- tunnels, trees, ocean…The 3 hour ride was perfect for us!

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

Hubby and I are used to riding e-bikes so we chose the e-bike option on the Beach Loop. This took the whole morning and costs a little more but is well worth it.

Riding the rails

We had a great time and Jeff was a great guide. The trip is just beautiful and made you really feel like you were "there." The weather was outstanding and the small group made it feel more special.

loved every minute of it

We were the only customers on the day we went rail cycling. Excellent experience, Jeff was very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and we had a great time
