Bike It Now! in Clyde offers excellent service for those interested in the Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail. They can assist with arranging shuttle times and pickups for the reverse ride from Clyde to Cromwell, taking advantage of the wind and less aggressive egress. The trail offers beautiful views and cantilevered sections hugging the mountain. Riders can expect a time of around 3 hours and 20 minutes.
AMAZING service and professionalism at Bike It Now! We loved our trip on the Otago Rail Trail, and Bike it Now made everything so seamless and easy for us. The accommodation, local knowledge and of course the bikes were top quality. The door to door service from Queenstown was fantastic and meant transport was one less thing for us to worry about. They even worked around us when our flight was cancelled, and picked us up later in the day. I don't have anything bad to say. We will be booking through Bike it Now again for any future trips. Thanks so much!

We recently did the Big Loop with Bike It Now. Fully recommend this company. Easy communications prior to the ride. Accommodation was spot on for the needs of our group - six of us all over 60. Really enjoyed dining at country pubs and having a couple with the locals.
In addition, one of our group sustained an injury on the fourth day necessitating an evacuation. Bike It Now helped out with some of the logistics of this, meaning the injured rider was able to rejoin the group at each accommodation stop.
Many thanks Fletch and crew.

Rented ebikes for Dunstan rail trail. All organized with a single phone call - including bikes sent to Cromwell, and a return shuttle from Clyde back to start. Staff were informative and friendly. Bikes were newish Merida mtb style, with carrier luggage bag, helmet, drink bottle - ideal for the trail. Climbed the hills with no effort π
Totally recommend both the experience and the company.

Had such a great experience with the Bike it now team. Did the Roxburgh Gorge Trail. The jet boat ride was so much fun and Dave the driver is so knowledgeable. The bikes and gear was all in great condition and the briefing so professional. Definitely recommend this company

I had a great experience doing the Lake Dunstan cycle trail with Bike it Now. The mountain bike I hired was perfect for the trail, and fitted with everything I needed. The pre- departure talk was very informative and made me feel more confident about tackling the ride. I caught their shuttle to Cromwell and gained a lot of local knowledge along the way from John the driver. The trail is great.

A huge thanks to Fletch and everyone else at Bike It Now for organising our ride on the Otago Rail Trail at the end of last month. We had the most amazing time and everything went flawlessly. We did the 5-day luxury tour and stayed in beautiful accommodation, enjoyed all our meals, and met some lovely people - highly recommended! I'm already looking at what ride we will do next.

Quick and easy service for hiring an ebike for the Lake Dunstan cycle trail. Trail was explained and we were given a map before heading out. Shuttle driver even explained a couple of things on the way to Cromwell. Had no issues with the bike and it was nice that saddle bags and tyre pump were provided.

Absolutely Fabulous Clyde Folk and Adventure. River trail ride gorgeous. Help was at hand when I piked out at Alexandra. Shuttled back to town, pride intact, accomplished a 12 km breathtaking ride.

Bike it Now is amazing. They organise everything for you and all you need to do is ride and enjoy the scenery and great hospitality along the way. Itβs the second time Iβve been with them and couldnβt fault them. They know the area and tailor the trip to what you want to do. Just perfect!!!

Re: The Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail. Interested in doing the reverse ride, Clyde > Cromwell, Bike It Now will assist. Apart from working with your schedule an advantage is the wind is behind you and the egress to the Trig Station is not as aggressive from the Clyde, you also " hug " the mountain on those cantilevered sections . Time for an L3 rider is < > 3H20m. Book with Bike It Now to arrange shuttle times & pickup back to Clyde. Recommended time would be early morning ( Still and no opposing traffic ) . Service & communication from Bike It Now Clyde is outstanding..thoroughly recommended.

Super, super organised! Thank-you Bikeitnow! for an amazing 4 day adventure. Shuttle service from Queenstown, terrific accommodations, recommended places to eat and where to purchase snacks. When the weather turned nasty on Day 4, they checked-in with us to see if we needed assistance. (We were fine). We are happy to recommend Bikeitnow!

BIG THANKS TO THE TEAM AT CLYDE FOR EXCELLENT SERVICE AND THE BEST BIKES AVAILABLE.. was a windy day but everything went well beautiful track and views with lunch available on track. Thanks again.
Clutha River Cruises offers a unique way to explore the historic town of Clyde, located on the Clutha River in New Zealand. Once a bustling gold mining town, Clyde is now known for its iconic Clyde Dam and Lake Dunstan. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the turquoise Clutha River to discover the town's rich history and architecture.
We had the most wonderful time with the perfect balance of history, awesome views and squeals of delight with the jet boat option. We cannot recommend this strongly enough. If you are in the Alexandra area, you must treat yourself to this tour. Side note, it was winter for us and the winter trees lining the river were just stunning.
Thank you for such a wonderful time, shaping the tour to meet the needs of all of us. First Class

Lawrence our guide was a wealth of interesting information and quite a character. His portrayal of the gold rush years was fascinating. The boat was good, service excellent and the fresh muffins and tea were a welcome treat after scrambling about the old mining settlements. Highly recommended.

Excellent bike shuttle service on the Roxburgh Gorge Trail plus fantastic commentary on the gold mining history as a bonus. Thanks Laurence, it was one of our highlights.

A pleasant enough cruise down the river with a good commentary focusing on the history of gold mining in the area. Maybe a little expensive depending on your price tolerance.
Basic refreshments provided at the furthest point of the journey.
