Cycle The Spectacular Lake Dunstan Trail Through Historic Gold Rush Landscapes In Central Otago


Experience one of the most scenic cycling adventures in Central Otago with a fully supported ride along the spectacular Lake Dunstan Trail.

Graded between 1 and 3, the trail offers a mix of easiest to intermediate sections, making it suitable for a wide range of riders seeking breathtaking landscapes and a rewarding outdoor experience.

The route provides constant visual rewards for every cyclist who traverses it.

These stops offer a perfect blend of history and modern comfort, allowing you to appreciate the cultural significance of the area. Explore at your own pace before enjoying a convenient shuttle return to Queenstown, allowing you to relax and reflect.
