About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- yonak1240 contributionsChallenging and funIt was challenging and I loved it. If you already know how to mountain bike up and down hills on rocky gravel it will be good fun. If you know how to ride a bike well on easy terrain and are reasonably fit - you can make it through but it may be a challenge. If you want something that doesn’t require effort, then it won’t be a good match. Great instruction to the sport. Fitness and nerves required! Super fun.Written 14 January 2025
- Globetrotting_Gracey0 contributionsAmazing Day Riding!Firstly I want to thank Ksena for such an awesome day riding and tasting wine! She was amazing! My wife and I have never ridden e-bikes before and it was fantastic! At first the instructions for the bike were somewhat overwhelming but once we got on the bikes, it was very easy! Ksena took great care of us throughout the ride and the trail, the day of our ride, had other riders. She alerted us of oncoming riders, any hills/ corners, etc. We had several stops where we encountered some wildlife and amazing views around Queenstown. We are very novice when it comes to wine but Ksena answered all the questions we had. As for the wine, my wife and I enjoyed every single taster that we had. Both wineries were amazing! It was the highlight of our trip and would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you for an amazing day!Written 10 January 2025
- F9994PBemmal0 contributionsBest experience in QueenstownWe had a brilliant wine tour with Tom. We were lucky with the weather, but the whole experience was excellent - amazing landscapes, very well organized and very welcoming at the wineries.

Beauty and thrills and all while making you feel safe and in good hands. Their e-bikes are top notch as are they! Do t leave Queenstown without taking an e-bike trip with them. You won’t regret in!

- H1365LSkeithw0 contributionsFantastic experience with wonderful viewsI didn’t know what to expect but this tour was exactly what I was hoping it would be. They take you on private trail that is challenging physically but doable because of the e-bike. I bike a lot but had never done MTB. This wasn’t a problem because the guides Shay and Paris were great. I highly recommend this tour.Written 4 December 2024

- montykathleen0 contributionsChallenge yourself a little the e-bike helps a lot and enjoy the rewarding viewsHaving a personal guide providing advice and leading the way was fantastic. We ride bikes but we really enjoyed using e-mountain bikes (for the first time) to ride steep and difficult terrain. We enjoyed the challenge and the view from the top of Queenstown Hill was amazing. Jordan was our guide and he was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. We highly recommend Shay’s e-bike experiences.Written 13 November 2024

- louisefE9122CW0 contributionsIncredible day - highly recommend!We have just returned from the most amazing day with Ksena, riding through the beautiful vineyards of Gibbston Valley. We could not have been happier with our tour. Ksena was so knowledgeable not only about riding and providing us with all the instructions to make us feel at ease on our e bikes but also in the area of wine. We learnt so much and would highly recommend this tour and would do it all over again. Shay and Ksena were terrific guides (NZ’s best!)Written 23 September 2024
- Vacationer7021990 contributionsMUST DO EXPERIENCE!Shay was AMAZING! This was a once in a lifetime experience and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Queenstown. The views were some of the best views I have seen in my lifetime, and the e-bike made the ride a breeze. If I could give this experience 100 stars, I would - it is a MUST DO!Written 29 August 2024
- Shazzaanddazza0 contributionsAmazing Ride to the Sky AdventureWe had such a memorable day on our e-bike tour with Ksena and Shay. We had both experienced and inexperienced riders and they catered for all of us. Ksena's and Shay's knowledge of the area and especially Ksena's experience with the wines and the pairings was fantastic. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Our family said this was the best day they spent on our Queenstown holiday - we would highly recommend.Written 9 July 2024

Could not recommend this highly enough. I will be back for more! A magnificent way to see Queenstown and the surrounding scenery. The team thought of everything and were professional and well prepared (the herbal tea to warm up half way through was very much appreciated). The bikes were easy to use, safe and our guide (Shay) was considerate of all riders and their experience levels and took good care of us. I loved it. If you are doing a ride in winter, rug up - it gets colder than you think (we were provided with extra jackets and balaclavas if needed) However, it was a unique and fabulous way to experience our time in QT and i can't wait to go again.

Shay is the best guide ever! Attentive but allowing plenty of freedom for us to explore. He told hilarious jokes, suggested fun games, and kept the kids motivated the entire time.
The bike trail was breathtaking, plenty of varieties and easy to navigate with the e-bike. Definitely the best way to explore around Queenstown.
The terrific follow-up photo and video packet was unexpected but most appreciated! Amazing recap video too with the location of each photo.
Thank you!!! Will definitely book it again when we are back in town.

A great tour to experience with outstanding lakeside scenery including the Remarkables and Shotover River. Beautiful. The bikes are just fantastic. So easy to ride and we could have ridden all day on these. E-bikes are a dream for any experience level of biking and no need to be a mountain bike junky to love them. Suitable even for mature riders and younger non-sporty teens given how much the bikes take the strain and boost your effort. Ksina was our guide and she was great! She had a refreshing direct charm and had the kids completely under her spell and they followed her like the Pied Piper! She is very knowledgeable, and ready to look out and support any riders who need help or encouragement. Ksina organised a pick up for us once our eldest child had declared he was done and that was super helpful and personalised. Overall, brilliant 3 hours and would do it again in a heartbeat.

The private e-bike tour was brilliant, our guide Jordan was local with lots of interesting stories about the area & biking experience. He gave us the confidence to take on the various terrain, we went through farms, forests & mountains by the lake. The scenery was an awesome backdrop to the exhilarating morning! Highly recommend it.

Hands down the best part of my Queenstown holiday, and that's saying a lot cos the entire city is packed with fun activities. Shay and Jake were awesome tour guides, very thoughtful, patient, witty, fun and Shay takes awesome photos/videos. The e-bikes are great and seem to be able to handle all terrain, plus you get to enjoy the ride without being too fagged out. If you are into biking, an e-bike tour is a must-do and do it with Ride to the Sky!!

The 3 hour Ride to the Lake is a great outing. The ebikes are very good bikes and even if you have never been on an ebike, you will be taught the handling quickly. Shay and Amber are knowledgeable guides and it is a very safe ride. Definitely an activity in Queenstown that I would recommend.

Our tour was amazing, my husband and I had so much fun. We got to see so many beautiful views and take amazing pictures. Our guide Jordan was so friendly and helpful, very informative too. At the end the company sent us the photos and videos of our tour that Jordan took of us and an edited Relive video which was awesome. I think the best way to get go know a city is always a bike tour, faster than walking and you can visit and see places that a car or bus cant access, you exercise and have a blast. Thanks very much, wonderful experience!

Shay and Ksena had been extremely humble, knowledgeable in understanding our group, our experience, our desires on the ride. Complementary pickup was on time and smooth. My kids had fun with Sapphire (their dog) on our way to event location. Drop-off was smooth and quick.
Now Mr. Jordan. Our tour guide… he was the best what I could have hoped and wished for in this 3.5 hour “ride the lake” guided tour! He was extremely humble and patient with our group which was a combination of “over energetic dad” to “slow but cautious mom rider”. He being a great photographer helped us to get some amazing pics. He also being the local, the knowledge of the city and landscape of a mind blowing experience for me, kids and Ma wife. Finally, their ebikes (my first experience with these machines) were in excellent condition.
Highly recommend this family run bike guided tour at Queenstown.

WOW I felt like a rockstar! The team was great, great gear, great instructions, great info, great trails. The tour linked up more than you could dream for. Snow capped mountain views, newborn lambs, lakes, rivers, architecture, sculpture, bridges. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. A MUST DO in Queenstown. I’m going back for the wine tour today!
