"Highly recommended!" - January 2024, TripAdvisor:

As a retired couple, we found the outing easy, fun, and scenic. Going Blue provided excellent service and a well-marked route that enhanced our experience.

Cori S

"Fun & Beautiful Bike Ride - this is a must do!" - December 2023, TripAdvisor:

This was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand! The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and ending the ride at the wineries was so much fun. We opted for push bikes, which made the ride challenging but rewarding. Going Blue's flexibility was impressive—they made it easy to be picked up from any winery. Highly recommend if you enjoy bike riding, beautiful nature, and wine!

MarshallMeyer

"Beautiful Bike Tour. Fantastic landscape." - December 2023, TripAdvisor:

Everything was perfect. The tour was beautiful, with very good bikes and well-organized logistics. The weather was ideal, making the outdoor experience even more enjoyable. I ended the tour with a wine tasting at the stunning Mt. Rosa. Opting for the e-bike version was definitely worth it.

Cale Maguire

"Memorable E-Bike Wine Tour" - December, Google Reviews:

We booked an e-bike wine tour for our stay in Queenstown and had an amazing time. Everything was organized so well, making the adventure simple and enjoyable. Our host picked us up and dropped us off in Arrowtown to start the ride, provided great recommendations along the way, and picked us up at the end of the day after we’d sampled as many wines as we could handle. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend booking through Going Blue to anyone!

Sarah Scotti

"Fabulous End-to-End Experience" - 2 months ago, Google Reviews:

We had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The advice was great, the scenery was amazing, and the stops were fantastic. The wineries were welcoming, and the track was the best bike ride ever. Thanks to Christine for all her help and advice! It was amazing!

Randy Smith

"Great day" - January 2024, TripAdvisor:

The tour was well-organized, featuring convenient pickup and e-bikes. The journey through the spectacular Central Otago wine country was enhanced by a knowledgeable driver, making it an exceptional experience.

Lucio M

"Great service and very enjoyable experience" - February 2024, TripAdvisor:

The bike winery tour was fantastic. Our guide, Jake, was super friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes were well-maintained and powerful, making the day both enjoyable and smooth. Overall, it was a great experience.

Steven B

"Epic E-Bike Adventure Through Vineyard Bliss" - December 2023, TripAdvisor:

The Arrowtown E-Bike Tour was a delight! The electric bikes made the journey effortless, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery en route to the charming vineyards. It's a perfect day filled with pedal-powered joy and exquisite wines. Highly recommended!

David Anson

"Enjoyable E-Bike Adventure" - December, Google Reviews:

Two friends and I hired e-bikes from Going Blue, and the bikes were fast and comfortable with plush seats. We enjoyed a fun day on various trails, taking in epic views. Despite using the maximum assist function and being 100kg, I managed 50km before my battery went flat. Going Blue provided excellent service by meeting us at the nearest intersection to exchange the bike, allowing us to continue. Great service and communication. Highly recommended for e-bike rentals in Queenstown. Great value!

Mika

"Well-Organized and Flexible Tour" - February, Google Reviews

I booked the Valley of the Vines self-guided tour through GetYourGuide, and it was incredibly well-organized! The staff were quick to respond both before and during the tour. I appreciated the flexibility in altering my pick-up location at both the start and end of the tour. Christina was especially helpful, picking me up where I ended up and providing tons of useful tips. She was friendly and understanding, making the day even better. It was an excellent day of biking!

Sydney Michaeli

"Great Day E-Biking" - 9 months ago, Google Reviews:

We had an absolutely brilliant day! We were picked up from our hotel, with bikes ready to go based on our height. The tour guide was fantastic on the way to Arrowtown. The bike ride to Gibbston Valley offered beautiful scenery, and Jay checked in regularly to ensure we were okay. We enjoyed great discounts at AJ Hackett and the zip line. At the end of the day, we were safely collected from our chosen winery. Highly recommend! Thanks, Jay!

"Wonderful E-Bike Wine Tasting Adventure" - a year ago, Google Reviews:

"We had a wonderful time on the e bike wine tasting adventure organized by Going Blue. They picked us up on time, drive us to Arrowtown, gave us well cared for equipment and a map and then let us make our way to Gibbston with any stops we wanted. They advised we stop at the Gibbston Tavern which had excellent wood oven pizza and we found great wineries along the way. The trail was mainly flat but with e bikes you have assistance when needed. It is a great workout and an amazingly beautiful trail to ride. They picked us up on time and we would absolutely do it again!"

Tiffany D from Sydney, Australia

"Amazing experience" - March 2024, TripAdvisor:

This bike trek was an incredible adventure with well-maintained trails that avoided roads, offering stunning views along hilltops and a beautiful gorge below. The journey included crossing several spectacular bridges, passing the famous bungee spot, and encountering friendly goats, alpacas, and deer. The bikes were very comfortable and easy to ride, and the tour concluded perfectly with visits to several wineries. It's a must-do experience!

"Biking as a family" - January 2024, TripAdvisor:

We had a fabulous day with a wonderful guide and great bikes. Everyone, including our kids aged 10-14, loved it. We can't recommend it enough.

Anouk S

"Absolutely worth it!" - December 2023, TripAdvisor:

I opted for the drop-off at Arrowtown and then biked to the vineyard district with a pickup later in the day. The trail from Arrowtown to the winery district was gorgeous. Using Going Blue's bikes was beneficial as they provide bikes with better-suited tires for the terrain. While it's easy to bike even without e-bikes, there are some challenging ups and downs. The morning shuttle to Arrowtown included great recommendations, and the pickup was seamless with easy communication through text, call, and WhatsApp. It was the most fun day of my holiday so far.

Kerren Kollock

"Challenging and Satisfying Ride" - February, Google Reviews:

The experience was perfect for a good workout. The trails and map were easy to follow, offering plenty of wine options and a few food spots at the end. It was the perfect amount of time for biking, taking photos, and enjoying food and drinks. Tips: Bring a GoPro if you have one. If you fear heights, take it slow in a few spots. Although the e-bikes help, the paths are gravel, so a basic level of physical confidence is needed. Adults under 5’3” might benefit from a kids-sized bike if available. Thanks for the awesome experience!

Sharon Billedeaux

"Comfortable and Assisting E-Bikes" - December, Google Reviews:

"The ride itself was beyond perfect (vines tour) but the comfort and assist of the e-bikes certainly helped that! The company was professional, prompt, and thorough in every way. We’d never done e-bikes and felt totally comfortable navigating the area after their briefing. LOVED IT. Don’t hesitate to book with them."

Jess Blight

"Seamless and Spectacular Experience" - 6 months ago, Google Reviews:

We had an amazing experience! Jay made the day seamless by dropping off the bikes in the morning and picking us up at the vineyard in the afternoon. The views were spectacular and the wine was incredible. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough!
