Queenstown Trail, Otago Region, New Zealand
The Queenstown Trail unveils close to 120km of spectacular cycle trail in Otago’s Wakatipu Basin.
The trail meanders through some of New Zealand’s most breathtaking scenery, taking in the Gibbston wine area, the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown and the stunning landscapes of Lake Hayes, Frankton and Queenstown. Riders will enjoy discovering hidden ruins, amazing architecture and historic bridges.
There are plenty of reasons to stop along the way: for a cheeky wine tasting at a world-class vineyard, to savour first-rate food and coffee, or to take the plunge with a thrilling bungy jump at the Kawarau Bridge Bungy.
You can make your own way along the trail, or to get the most out of your Queenstown Trail experience, contact one of the local tour operators for advice. They have the local knowledge and resources to help plan and organise you and your bikes, including bike hire, transport and pick-ups and drop-offs anywhere along the trail.
Queenstown’s reputation as one of the world’s favourite adventure destinations is well deserved. Once you’ve finished your ride there is a wide range of other tourist attractions to entertain and invigorate you.
The Queenstown Trail is a joint initiative of the Queenstown Trails Trust, the Queenstown Lakes District Council, and the New Zealand Cycle Trail project.
