Hawea River Trail

At the stunning shores of Lake Hawea, your two-wheeled adventure begins. Hop aboard a state-of-the-art e-bike for an extraordinary journey along the Hawea River Trail, where nature’s grandeur unfolds at every turn. The purpose-built track winds along the crystal-clear waters of the Hawea River, which sparkles like liquid silver against the backdrop of golden tussock-covered hills.

As you effortlessly pedal with your e-bike’s gentle assistance, the trail guides you through a landscape that showcases Central Otago’s raw beauty – think dramatic rocky bluffs, native shrublands, and sweeping river valleys. The path merges with the mighty Clutha River, New Zealand’s most powerful waterway, its distinctive blue-green waters rushing past as you ride.

This scenic journey combines the best of active adventure with pure enjoyment – the e-bikes make light work of any undulations, leaving you free to soak in the spectacular mountain vistas and riverside scenery. The trail concludes in Wanaka, a charming alpine town nestled against its namesake lake, where cafés and lakeside paths invite you to unwind after your ride.
