Tour Details:

(Note tour includes transport from and return to Auckland with hotel pickup and drop off if required)

This Waikato Ebike tour showcases the beauty and serenity of the Waikato river. A tour for riders of all abilities and fitness levels who want a leisurely riding experience with a taste of the wonderful scenery rural New Zealand has to offer and stunning views of the Waikato River.

Start with the gentle paved cycleway from Ngaruawahia to Te Rapa, and then continue onto Hamilton Gardens for some lunch beside the river. If 25km has been enough for you then you can call it a day. Otherwise there is more great riding on the other side of the Gardens.

After Lunch you have your choice of continuing on the Te Awa River trail out through Cambridge and onto Karapiro Lake (30km). Alternatively your guide can offer you a guided ride round south -eastern Hamilton where you will ride past Waikato University, try out your skills on the pump track or the circuit lap, experience the beauty of a preserved natural grove of historic significance and then circle back round some the lesser known cycle paths, (15km).
