Traveler Reviews

This is our second time with Around the Basin. We elected for four electric bikes, shuttle to Arrowtown and ride back. Our bikes were all ready on arrival in the morning and we took a shuttle to Arrowtown with a very informative and entertaining driver. At Arrowtown, we were given some safety and direction instructions and sent on our merry way with maps. We followed the suggestion of riding around Arrowtown to get some food and to warm up with some pies. Then off down the Trail. To cut along story short, we rode the length of the Trail past Gibbston (for a yummy lunch) then back, past AJ Hackett, then to Frankton, finally to back to the shop in Queenstown. Total over 60km and 6 hours - great day, tiring, never ran out of charge and the nikes were great. Some annoyances - horse riders on the track (where they are not supposed to be) and family groups (who leave their bikes in the middle of the track to take some photos). We would definitely use Around the Basin again. We possib

Amazing day! One of our most favourites of the holiday :) We were dropped off in a van in Arrowtown on a fresh morning to do a self-guided tour back to Queenstown. We opted to take a detour route to the Kawarau Bridge bungy for snacks and to watch people take the leap. The views on the trail were amazing from the get-go. It took us about 4 hours but I think we could have done the ride in half the time if I wasn't constantly stopping to take photos every 10 metres! I would totally recommend getting the E-Bikes - it gives you a nice little boost up the steeper parts! :D Our only small gripe was that our bums got pretty sore nearing the end of the day from the hard seats. But staff were really friendly & helpful - from the people in the office (sorry didn't catch names!) to the bus driver (think it was Josh!?). Great team. Thanks again guys!

So much fun - the scenery was unreal. We did get really sore bums, fully recommend padded tights as the seats are really hard for biking for a day! But no complaints here - the staff were super lovely and we had great fun being athletes on our E-bikes which I 100% recommend. It made our experience so much better given we weren’t exhausted at the end of the day. Left the drop off point at around 9:45am and got back to Queenstown around 2:00pm. We stopped off at the kawarau bungy and did a zip line and had some lunch before continuing on our way. It was amazing!

Outstanding service, so helpful and great bikes too. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking to hire bikes in Queenstown! Loved the Arrowtown to Queenstown trail we also thought arrowtown to Gibston was outstanding! A definite must do if you can!

e-bikes were superb, which helped us to enjoy the brilliant scenery of this varied set of adjoining trails. We (wife & I) appreciated the excellent booking service from Lisa. Highly recommended and very enjoyable experience - also good value!
