Discover Wanaka

Lake Hāwea sits in a different world to the busier spots around Wanaka, and this guided eBike tour follows its shoreline before tracing the Hāwea River through open countryside, crossing bridges and pausing at viewpoints that stretch across the Southern Lakes. The tour runs 3 to 3.5 hours with departures at 9am and 1pm, transport from Wanaka and Albert Town accommodation included, and the full-suspension Smart Motion Hypersonic eBikes are rated beginner to intermediate so the fitness level matters far less than the willingness to get out there. Adult pricing is $365 per person, with a child rate of $195 for ages 12 to 15, and guides photograph the whole ride and send a selection through afterwards.

Full-suspension Smart Motion Hypersonic eBikes with 575kw engines make a real difference when the trail gets interesting, handling the hard work so riders can focus on the scenery rather than the effort. Whether you're heading out with a guided group, exploring solo on a self-guided hire, or combining a ride with w**e tasting at three Central Otago vineyards, the bikes suit all ages from 12 up and all fitness levels. Locally owned and operated, with transport included from Wanaka and Albert Town accommodation, it's a genuinely accessible way to cover some of the region's most scenic ground.

Westy has been living and guiding in Wanaka for over 30 years, which means the stories, shortcuts, and local knowledge he brings to every ride go well beyond what any map can offer. His job title is 'Fun Maximiser', and he takes that seriously, whether he's out with a couple on a quiet trail or a larger group covering serious ground. Guests of all ages and fitness levels leave knowing a bit more about this place than when they arrived.
