The Kawarau Gorge - Opens 19 September 2026

The launch of the Kawarau Gorge Trail, in September 2026, is one of the most exciting additions to the NZ cycling network.

nzbiketrails looks forward to hosting riders on this trail from their Queenstown base of the Kinross Winery which is our recommended place to stay for this experience - whether it is a one-day or a multi-day biking experience with nzbiketrails.

You can now book for ride dates from 19 September 2026 which is the official opening date.
