Bikes are available daily, with 2, 4 and 8-hour hire options.

Ride from Days Bay to Pencarrow Head by eBike

Set out from Days Bay and follow Wellington Harbour’s eastern coastline towards Pencarrow Head, with electric assistance taking some of the effort out of the ride. The coastal trail leads to Pencarrow’s historic lighthouses and tranquil lakes, with expansive views across the harbour and rugged shoreline. On clear days, the distant Kaikōura Ranges add another dimension to a route that combines maritime history, open coastal landscapes and plenty of places to stop along the way.

Choose a longer hire and continue beyond the main Pencarrow sights to explore side trails, stop for a seaside picnic or ride farther towards Fitzroy Bay and the SS Paiaka shipwreck. An eight-hour hire leaves time to combine the coast with Eastbourne’s cafés and galleries before returning to Days Bay. Front suspension, disc brakes and a bike adjusted to your height and riding style help make longer distances accessible without turning the day into a demanding cycling challenge.
