Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We hired bikes to compete in a fun adventure race. Jacqui was incredibly helpful both over the phone and in store, and definitely made us feel confident going into the race that we were well prepared and equipped with all we needed.
I would highly recommend hiring you bike from Adventure Capital!

This was the second time we had booked bikes through this coy as the first time was so successful. When I phoned, Jacqui made some great suggestions for this trip and we were very happy riders on our return. The bikes are the best e-bikes we have hired and Adventure Capital leaves other operators for dead with their knowledge, flexibility and high quality equipment. We had a fabbo day and plan to be back again. Thanks Jacqui and crew for doing what you do so well.

My adult daughter and I hired a couple of commuter style ebikes and took ourselves off exploring for the day. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. We were given maps and advice and ended up in half moon bay. Lovely 35 plus km ride (we took a few detours due to deficiency in map reading skills). Mostly flat but a couple of steep stretches through suburbia made us appreciate the e bike option. Perfect day and felt safe when we needed to go off the bike tracks. Take a picnic or enjoy a meal at one of the cafes on the way. Took the ferry back from half moon bay (around $10). Advice for others - ferry is infrequent on a Saturday - our options were 3.45 or had we missed that one the next was around 7.

Adventure world provided a professional and friendly service with a good grasp of their business and technical aspects of the bikes we were riding. We did a waterfront ride to Mission Bay for lunch and then back in 4 hours. Nice ride.

We hired two bikes for the day- both well maintained and of good quality with helmets and lock for what felt a fair price.
We were helped by Clare who could not have been lovelier- she suggested a route for us (a day cycle to Half moon bay and ferry back) which was just perfect and was the consummate professional.
If you are looking for bike hire in Auckland then look no further

Recently worked with the team on a two day guided private group tour - one day along the Pink Lighpath and waterfront and the other across the ferry to Devonport. They were extremely helpful with putting together the arrangements for 30 clients and my tour leader came back and advised it was by far the best ride of the whole trip. Bikes are good quality and were all prepared and waiting collection, the staff friendly and very organised. On the second day, some clients wanted to extend their bike rental from half day to full day and there were no problems with this. Would recommend Adventure Capital to anyone seeking bike hire in Auckland.

For Valentine’s Day, we decided to explore Auckland’s cycle paths and take in some of the waterfront in the eastern suburbs after speaking with the folks at Adventure Capital.
The bikes - hard tail mountain bikes - were in great shape, and the maps we were given worked like a charm. The riding was enjoyable and we felt safe the entire way. After riding the 35 km to half moon bay, we took the Fuller 360 ferry back to the city. Just a glorious day and great overall experience. The folks that work here know there stuff and take the time to ensure you are comfortable before you head out. Full marks for this company.
