5.00Bike it Now did a superb job from my very first inquiry until we returned our bikes after our two day trip. Complete preparation information, excellent bikes, wonderful staff and great suggestions for stops along the way. We stayed at the Lauder School Bed and Breakfast which was excellent. The owners really have it comfortable with nice modern updates. Bike it Now arranged our dinner reservation at the local pub which was a nice plus. We enjoyed the scenery along the way. Stops for flat white coffee and delicious lunches as well as historical landmarks. Oh yes, getting to fill in our Passports with each of the rail stops was fun. The information each stopped provided really added to our overall experience.Plus right near the end of our trip it started to rain and thank goodness Ruru Winery was open for a warm and tasty stop. The information each stopped provided really added to our overall experience. Highly recommend! Already talking about our Next Bike trip with Bike it Now.
Must do in Otago

5.00My wife and I visited South Island in October 2025 from our home in the Orkney Islands. We had previously cycled in France with an Australian friend with rented bikes - from Orleans to Angers and from Bordeaux to Narbonne and sought his suggestions when planning our trip. He strongly advised us to do the Otago Trail (which he had done twice) and sang the praises of Bike it now. We had a fantastic experience. The staff at Bike it Now could not be faulted. They were very professional and helpful a gave us a thorough briefing before we set of, including advice on the forecasted unseasonably high winds, encouraging us to contact them for assistance if we ran into any difficulties. The trail itself was a delight — very easy climbs and descents, a good smooth surface, nice an and wide, ever changing and soften spectacular scenery. Our 3 nights accommodation were all very good, including the dinners. On the last day the very strong winds ( which had mostly been tail winds) increased to severe gale from the side. It was becoming dangerous to continue. We phoned Bike it Now who arranged a rapid pick up for us and our bikes. Excellent service, and a wonderful experience despite the unusually extreme winds. No adverse comments at all.
Well organised and friendly service!

5.00With the assistance of the Bikeitnow crew, we rode the Lake Dunstan Trail and then the Central Otago Rail Trail from Auripo to Clyde. This was 2 days of riding with an overnight stay in Clyde. Two very different but fun and incredibly scenic rides. The Bikeitnow staff were friendly, professional and happy to help in any way, particularly with advice as to how to organise our rides in Queenstown. Our ebikes were in excellent condition (they looked new) and are obviously well maintained. We highly recommended Bikeitnow if you are planning to ride in the area and we will certainly be back to continue discovering this incredible part of the world!
Excellent trip

5.00We rode for 4 days. The itinerary was well prepared and no day was too long. The trail was well maintained and easy for us on our e-bikes. The accommodation was well organised with dinners arranged at local eateries when required. There was plenty to do and see on the way with informative signs every few kilometres. The country was very scenic especially in the Maniototo which was particularly beautiful. The weather was good but gloves were needed most mornings. On the last day the wind got too strong to ride just 5 km from the end so we rang the company and they sent a van to get us. Altogether we are glad to have finally done this.
Biking with young kids made easy.

5.00Highly highly recommend using Bike it now for supporting you to access the incredible Otago Rail Trail. We are a family with two young kids who were 2 and 4 years old at the time, and also had my Mum who is in her late 60s. Fletch and her team at Bike It now made it very easy co-ordinating the bikes, bike accessories, accommodation, transport and planned us a great itinerary. Our son wants us to do another holiday "just like the rail trail". This felt like a holiday that everyone enjoyed and the kids loved it just as much as we did. Couldn't rate the holiday higher- worth every cent.

5.00Everything was AMAZING!!!, From pick up at Queenstown airport, everything ran smoothly. Our bags were at our accommodation when we arrived, Pick ups to the pub for dinner to home cooked shanks waiting in the slow cooker when we arrived was just wonderful. The Kiwi communities could not do enough for us, nothing was a problem. Great Scenery, Accommodation was great especially the cottages at Wedderburn. Easy riding on the Ebikes, And transport from Middlemarch to Dunedin when we finished. Thinking of it??? Just do It!!! We did 3.5 days was great..
Otago Rail Trail made us proud to be a Kiwi!

5.00One of the best NZ trips we have ever done - we also opted for the 4 day trail & e-bikes to make it easy. Bike it Now staff were amazing! Everything from the efficiency of the booking ( Claire called me 2mins after I had sent my original e-mail enquiry), Briefings ( Kate - her briefing of the trip before we set off ensured we stopped at the best places for lunch & site seeing) & transfers ( Richard who transferred us back from Middlemarch -his knowledge of the area & passion for the Rail Trail was brilliant.). Also the quality of the quality e-bikes & fantastic accommodation – totally impressed! We were blessed with the most incredible weather, which obviously added to the enjoyment of the cycling journey. The quality of the trail & the mind blowing scenery totally exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended Bike It Now to several friends. Thank you for helping us to create some amazing memories.
