A Scenic eBike Ride Through Central Otago

Experience the best of Central Otago on this scenic one-day eBike adventure combining water, land and local flavours. The journey begins with a relaxing boat cruise on Lake Dunstan, followed by a lakeside cycle past historic landmarks and dramatic landscapes.

Cycling towards the Bannockburn wine region, the route finishes with a tasting at Carrick Winery, overlooking the Bannockburn Inlet and surrounding vineyards. This experience blends active exploration with regional food and wine in a single, well-paced day.

Boat, Bike and Bannockburn Wine

The day begins with a scenic boat ride from Cromwell to Clyde, complete with informative commentary as you travel along Lake Dunstan. From Clyde, you’ll start your eBike ride on the Great Ride back towards Bannockburn, enjoying expansive lake views, historic points of interest and a sense of space unique to Central Otago.

Riding from Clyde to Cromwell keeps you on the inside of the trail, creating a safer and more relaxed cycling experience. The journey continues into Bannockburn for a visit to Carrick Winery, where you can enjoy a wine tasting and casual meal while taking in views over the inlet before completing the ride back to Cromwell.
