Ride on the Remutaka Rail Trail with eBike Hire & Shuttle Transfer from Featherston
Ride through nature’s beauty with an e-bike adventure along the Remutaka Rail Trail for a 28km ride to Featherston. After a safety briefing, take in the glorious sounds of nature with a gentle ascent through native bush. Traverse tunnels, cross bridges and learn about the historic fell railway system all while working up a sweat in the great outdoors. Conquer the summit and you’ll be met with a grassy plateau, perfect for a break, then head back for a controlled descent to Cross Creek.
