Transport from the cruise ship to this attraction is not included in the ticket cost, you will need to make your own arrangements.
After taking the Centre Port run short shuttle bus service from the cruise terminal to the city, its only a 5-10 minute walk to the start of your tour which begins at the centrally located Chaffers Dock on the Wellington Waterfront.
Wellington is surrounded by beautiful hills and a stunning harbour. Our modern electric bikes take the hard work out of the hills and any wind along the way. Throughout a 25km (15.5 miles) ride, your local guide will share insights into Wellington's vibrant city and rich culture.
Meet your guide at our store by Chaffers Marina in central Wellington in time for a 10:00am departure. After listening to the safety briefing, learn how to operate your electric bike, and enjoy time to practice in a car-free space before heading out.
Once youre comfortable, saddle up for a fun bike tour of Wellington's bays and follow your guide along the Wellington Waterfront. Glide along the seafront, passing the lively harbour and the beaches of Oriental Bay - filled with swimmers and sun-bathers in the summer. Continue along the Miramar Peninsula and leave the bustle of the city behind as you cycle along the scenic coast.
Finally, set the bikes to 'turbo' to climb up to the lookout point for an unforgettable view over Wellington, the Miramar Peninsula, and the ocean harbour entrance. Enjoy the loop ride back around the bays before stopping at a local caf for drink/ice cream on us.
The tour is light hearted and fun. We've been running these tours for nearly seven years and they are consistently one of the top rated tours in Wellington."
An electric bike is easy to ride - if you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an eBike. This small group tour is perfect for individuals, couples and families travelling with teenagers.
