Trail riding tour near Queenstown for experienced riders, with coaching, varied terrain and views over the Shotover River and Lake Wakatipu.

Tour Overview

Designed for experienced riders with solid road riding skills and clutch control, this trail riding tour is focused on progression, technique, and varied terrain. After check-in at 61a Shotover Street, you’ll be transferred to a private 600 acre property just five minutes from Queenstown, where you’ll be fitted with full riding gear and given a bike briefing before heading out.

The session begins with extra training if needed, along with practical tips to help improve your riding as the tour develops. From there, the terrain builds in difficulty, taking you from milder sections into more challenging trails as your confidence and control grow. The aim is clear, to help competent two-wheel riders step beyond road riding and learn the demands of trail riding in a structured way.

As you climb higher above Queenstown, the setting opens up. At the top of the mountain, the ride is matched by wide views over the Shotover River, Lake Wakatipu, and the surrounding mountains. This is a hands-on riding experience for people who want to be tested, improve their skills, and spend their time on the bike rather than on the sidelines.
