Discover the Remutaka Ranges' rich rail history & natural beauty on a mountain bike. The flagship daytrip of the Remutaka Rail Trail, this is suitable for riders of all levels, and can be lengthened or shortened to suit you. 18/37km of easy/moderate riding.
We shuttle you up to either Te Marua (for a 27-37km, slightly more challenging ride) or Kaitoke (for an 18-28km easy ride), where you start your adventure with a very gradual incline through native bush. Pass through tunnels (headlights provided!) and over bridges, while checking out information boards detailing the enormous task of constructing the old fell railway system. Reach the summit - a large grassy plateau perfect for a picnic or cold drink - then enjoy a fun (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, surrounded by some of NZ's most scenic farmland. You can either wait for the shuttle at Cross Creek, or continue biking up to the cafes and pubs at Featherston (a further 10km) and we'll pick you up before driving you back to Wellington Station.
Packed lunch and water
9.30am shuttle from Wellington Station to Te Marua or Kaitoke
Capable and comfortable mountain bike with helmet and repair kit, customised to your height
Maps and information
9.30am Wellington Railway Station, outside the main entrance.

Shorts or tight-fitting pants (so they don't get caught up in moving parts)

# note depending on the weather and season, you may also want to wear thermal leggings and bring a woollen hat and gloves - it can be quite cold going through tunnels or when you stop!
What to bring
We supply all the bike-specific gear that you'll need, a map and first-aid kit, all of your food for the day, and panier bags for this and your personal effects - you don't need to bring anything else. You may however wish to bring:
A camera
Bike gloves
Your personal helmet (if you'd prefer to use your own)
Full refund if cancelled up to 24 hours before activity starts.
