Auckland really lights up at night - so it's a great time to ride the illuminated cycleways and city streets on a guided electric bike tour for up to 4 people. Enjoy this fun tour around the city centre, to check out Auckland's nightlife, some of the best views and some intriguing (and colourful!) light installations. Your eye-catching electric bike will have plenty of lighting - so you can be part of the light show! Use of a shiny electric bike and a helmet are included in the tour.

Whilst experience riding an electric bike is not necessary (we'll provide an orientation and we'll do a test ride to make sure you're comfortable before we head off), you must of course be able to ride a bike! If you haven't ridden in a while, for your enjoyment/safety and that of your fellow riders, we strongly recommend you have a practice riding at home before your visit to Auckland. As well as riding on our wonderful cycleways, we will of course be riding in the road at times (to get to the good places!). Riding in traffic is a dynamic environment, so you will need to be comfortable riding in the road in order to enjoy the tour. And Auckland's volcanic past means that there a quite few hills to go up and down - the eBikes make going up easy, but you'll obviously need to be able to ride downhill!
Closed toe shoes are required. Sports gear not necessary - casual clothes are fine but dress to the conditions please.
Free storage available for small bags at the city centre departure point.
The tours run rain or shine – you will be provided free use of a bright and comfortable rain jacket, if you need one.
Minimum age is 14 years old (teenagers of 14-15 years old must be accompanied by an adult)
We recommend you bring sunscreen - the sun in NZ can be very harsh!
You may wish to bring a bottle of water with you for the ride. You can store this in the bag on your bike. There is also a drinking fountain near our departure point where you can fill your water bottle.
Whilst we welcome solo riders, this experience requires a minimum number of riders booked in order for it to go ahead (2). If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll either be offered a different date/experience or a full refund.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Take a fun guided electric bike tour to check out the sparkling Auckland city lights by night. Your guide will take you to the best vantage points to check out the views and see some amazing light installations around the city centre. You will meet at a hotel located in the heart of Auckland city - within walking distance of the cruise ship terminals and many hotels. There, you will be kitted you out with your stylish electric bike and your riding gear - including a helmet and a cycle specific headset, so you can safely listen to your guide as you ride along. You'll be given a short orientation with the electric bikes and do a practice ride nearby, to make sure you are 100% comfortable before the tour sets off. Having departed from the city centre, your guide will lead you past the twinkling lights in the cool shopping district of Britomart. Then its a ride along the waterfront cycleway, checking out some neon delights on Queens Wharf and the illuminated city skyline from the Viaduct – photo opportunity anyone? Then you’ll ride through Wynyard Quarter – one of Auckland’s most exciting new developments – and round the Silo Park, to check out the lights on the Harbour Bridge. Next, you’ll cruise on your cool electric bike through Victoria Park and head towards the vibrant social hub that is the City Works Depot: home to some award-winning eating and drinking options. You’ll then ride on one of the highlights of the tour – Te Ara I Whiti/The Lightpath. This pristine (and pink!) cycleway looks stunning when it is lit up at night. And finally, you’ll ride down the awesome Grafton Gully cycleway on our way back to base, checking out the historic Grafton Bridge and the lights of the Port of Auckland sparkling in the background. It’s a unique experience that should certainly be added to the “things to see in Auckland” list! To ensure the best experience, your group size will be small and personal - a maximum of 4 riders and your guide.

5.00Tons of fun! Got to see a lot of the places we had not already walked in the city. First time on a e-bike so it was a neat experience. Would definitely do it again.

5.00My brother and I had an amazing time on the night tour on our first night in Auckland. We were fortunate to be the only ones in our tour and our guide Carson was amazing and provided local tips on things to do and answered all our questions. We had a headpiece that allowed us to hear our guide throughout the journey which was great! We traveled around 16km through Auckland and our guide took lots of photos and information on Auckland on our trip. Highly recommend this tour for anyone and a great way to get your bearings of the city and cover a lot of key places in Auckland.
Great nighttime ride

5.00For those who had never ridden an electric bike or any bike recently the instructions and practice pre ride took all anxiety away. Eddie was great in reassuring us we would all manage, and we did very successfully. Great evening tour, less people so easy ride and fantastic lighting around town. Eddie’s commentary gave us historic insight and what’s coming in future. Would highly recommend
Best of Eddie

5.00This was the most amazing activity! So much fun and so easy! The electric bikes made the route incredibly easy, 12 km long and up a huge mountain! Eddie made us feel safe during the whole route, especially in traffic, and took great photos of us so we wouldn't forget the experience. A huge must do!!
Wonderful Tour!

5.00I absolutely loved this tour! This ended up just being my husband and I with Eddie who was fantastic. He took some photos, gave clear directions, taught us a lot about New Zealand and patiently answered our questions. The electric bikes were fun to ride and the speaker on our ears during the ride let us clearly hear Eddie's commentary. Auckland is a pretty city and especially magical when light up for the night. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, we had a great time!
So glad I was able to grab a spot for this tour!

5.00So worth it! I haven't tried the day tour but so glad I was able to take the night one! For starters, group size is small so makes for so much more of a personal tour. 2nd is that Auckland is so much calmer during these hours it felt like you had the city to yourself to just cruise around and learn about some great bits of city's history and landscape. Eddie is the man! He knew how to take everyone's bike comfort into account and we could go from "nice and easy" to "let's get some speed" ride. Highly recommend but make sure you reserve with plenty of time as the groups are small for a more personable experience.
