Highlands and Trail Journeys have teamed up to bring you Central Otago’s best E-Bike experience. As an exclusive bonus, EVERY bike hire includes access to the World Class 4.2km circuit at Highlands – The Power Hour.
Pick up your bike from Highlands and set off through the vineyards of Bannockburn before hitting the new trail as it weaves its way around the shores of Lake Dunstan.
Your hire is a full day bike hire so you can take your time and stop along the trail to really enjoy the majestic scenery.
Once you arrive at Clyde, make your way to the Trail Journeys depot to drop off your bikes. The Trail Journeys team will take care of getting your bikes back to the Highlands depot. If you require transport back to Cromwell, you add this to your booking for $20 per person.
Enjoy the local trails all the way out to Pisa Moorings and Smiths Way.
Hire anytime from 9am. Bike hires that start at 9am include exclusive access to the Highlands Track during The Power Hour!
Please do not use this booking option if you wish to ride the Lake Dunstan Trail, this option is intended for riding in and around Cromwell and Bannnockburn only. You are required to return the bikes back to Highlands.
The track is exclusively yours to spend as much time on during the hour as you like. Do one lap or 10, take a scenic lap – stopping to take pictures from vantage points that the public usually do not have access to, or put your pedal power to the test to record your fastest lap time.
Our e-bikes are unisex “hardtail” trail bikes – bit of a hybrid between a mountain bike & a commuter bike. Hardtail means no rear suspension!
