We did the Remutaka Trail and loop ride over two days, just brilliant. We hired E bikes which were great and Dave was just great to deal with.
Our meals and accommodation were just great, nice to have cold beer waiting..
Highly recommend this trail and "Everyones Adventure"!

Just finished the 4 day, 3 night circular Remutaka Cycle Trail from Days Bay clockwise around the Remutakas and back to Days Bay. All in, about 160km.
The service by Everyone’s Adventure is really good, good bikes, great food and good maps and directions.
The trail itself varies from urban cycle paths through to grade 4 trails along the side of very steep slopes. Like the trail, the experience is varied, from tough uphill slogs to high speed thrills from a down hill plunge.
Accomodation is good to basic. This is the beginning of this trail becoming one of the worlds great destination rides and the accommodation will get better with time.
Enjoy the ride and enjoy the remote beauty of this fantastic place.

A great day out! Dave was flexible and accommodated our small group (6 riders) and varying requirements, was punctual and friendly, and his bikes were in excellent condition. One of our group required an e-bike, and it was comfortable and easy to use. Really enjoyed the day, and highly recommended!

I had a fantastic day out on the bike! Dave was very accommodating and you are supplied with everything you need to have a great adventure - the food was yummy, the bike was very comfortable and well maintained, the maps and images easy to follow and I felt safe riding solo knowing I had GPS if anything went wrong. The trail is breathtaking and very fun with the tunnels and the descent. I would do the trip again in a heartbeat and look forward to doing more sections of the trail in future. Highly recommend!!
