The Ultimate Lake Dunstan Bike Hire And Boat Experience
This trail travels alongside Lake Dunstan on the opposite side of the lake to the road that travels between Cromwell and Clyde.
The engineering involved to create this trail is stunning with 450m of clip-ons attached to the rockface in places, the Hugo Suspension Bridge plus a very good trail surface throughout the ride.
The views and scenery on this ride are fantastic and you can fully understand the history of the area - from the goldrush to the building of NZ's largest dam - from the information boards along the way.
The Dunstan Explorer Boat return is a brilliant way to return back up the lake and explore areas of the trail that you would not have seen from your bike.
Our company actively works with the Dunstan Explorer to deliver outstanding experiences for our guests.
