The Lake Dunstan Cycling Trail is one of the best one day rides in New Zealand.
A 43km, Grade 1-3, 3-5 hour ride including stops.
This trail (grade 1-3) is recommended for confident and experienced cyclists over the age of 12 years old. The trail surface is smooth compacted gravel. There is 25km of the trail that has no road access and two 130m climbs. We recommend e-bikes on this trail (average actual riding time 2.5hrs) which not only helps to keep your group together but also focuses the ride on both the enjoyment and the experience rather than the physical challenge.
With great places to stop - including the award winning Carrick Vineyard and the Heritage Centre of Clyde with many great locations to eat and drink - your Dunstan Trail ride will be a fantastic experience. You can return to your start location by a return luxury shuttle or the Dunstan Explorer boat (+$85pp).
