Kiwi Journeys are excited to release the new ‘Tunnel to Town’ tour. Construction on a new 5km section of trail into Wakefield is now complete allowing this amazing day of cycling, scenery and tasting. Today you will ride through the longest disused rail tunnel in the southern hemisphere, extraordinary mountain vistas, amazing scenery through farmland, orchards, hop gardens, vineyards, coastal estuaries as well as being able to sample world class food and beverage. Mapua Wharf is amazing and highly recommended! Enjoy the Coastal trail out to Rabbit Island and the white sandy beach. Cross on the Mapua Ferry then enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Mapua Wharf with galleries, restaurants, wine bar, craft brewery, fish & chips and real fruit ice creams. Awesome day out!

This trip was so enjoyable. We had transport to Spooners Tunnel and enjoyed the different scenery through the region. A stop in Wakefield for the famous pies and then a coffee at HQ in Brightwater. We stopped by the chickens at Quail Valley Farm...they all came running (take some bread for them...they are cute). Staff were helpful and gave us good briefings of the bikes and lights for the tunnel. A great day out. I would recommend The Grape Escape for lunch...a bit off the trail (500m or so) but always amazing food, cakes and lovely setting with other shops nearby to explore.

My wife and I had a great time on a day-long tour on e-bikes from Kiwi Journeys. The guides & driver were super-friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and the equipment looked new and well-maintained. We were lucky in that the weather was stunning. There was heaps to do en route (way more than we could fit in). I'm not a confident cyclist at all, but it was perfectly manageable for me (other than that one ditch I ended up in... but that was me being an idiot! LOL). We stopped for lunch and did a single wine-tasting detour. My only advice: we were taking it at a moderate pace but didn't have a ton of time to spare. So I'd recommend choosing no more than 1 or 2 extra curricular things to do, including lunch (i.e. stops along the way that don't involve actually getting from A to B) so that you don't feel pressured about missing the last bike ferry from Rabbit Island to Mapua. The Spooner Tunnel was really surreal, and biking in the sun along riverbanks and by vineyards and hops gardens was very cool. (And while it would've been manageable on regular bikes, for those of us who are relatively sedentary the e-bike component definitely made it a more enjoyable experience! Highly recommended. :)

Great trip. We had e-bikes which were the best we've hired so far. George the driver was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of tips on where to visit. The ride was 60 kms, but mainly downhill and easy with e-bikes.
