Description

We shuttle you up to our site at Kaitoke in Upper Hutt for 28km of easy/moderate riding, where you start your adventure with a very gradual incline through native bush. Pass through tunnels (headlights provided!) and over bridges, while checking out information boards detailing the enormous task of constructing the old fell railway system. Reach the summit - a large grassy plateau perfect for a picnic or cold drink - then enjoy a fun (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, surrounded by some of NZ's most scenic farmland. From Cross Creek you then follow a 2km single lane track to the Car Park. From here, you'll follow a quiet road (on a separate cycle path) as you head north 10km through Wairarapa farmland to the cafes and pubs at Featherston. We'll pick you up at 2:15pm before driving you back to Wellington Station or Wellington Port (cruise ship guests only) in the afternoon.

Either 9.15am pickup from Port (cruise ship guests only) or 9.30am pickup from Wellington Station (main entrance), shuttle to Kaitoke (arriving approx. 10.15am) Capable and comfortable mountain bike with helmet and repair kit, customised to your height and riding preferences Packed lunch and water Maps and information First aid kit and GPS tracker in case of emergency Shuttle from Featherston (2.15pm) back to Wellington Station (arriving approx. 3.30-3.45pm) or Wellington Port (arriving approx. 3.45-4.00pm) Please note: if you are on a cruise ship, we pick you up direct from the Port at 9.15am. We cannot wait for late arrivals - make sure you are there on time otherwise the shuttle will leave without you! We arrive back at Port between 3.45pm - 4pm.
