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.

I cant recommend these guys enough. I ran the Old Coach Road solo and Max managed the journey from beginning to end. A great source of local knowledge but not in a way that is in your face. The communications excellent, and the chat on the journey informative, friendly, accurate and with a core underline of safety

From the first communication to the end of the trip the customer service was excellent! Just above & beyond, even allowing us to wash our bikes the day before from a previous ride & having the wash station ready for the return after the ride for us all to use.
Sterling job done - you wont regret booking with Kune shuttles!
Thank you guys :)

I had the best experience with the Kune Shuttles crew. Our driver Ben had all of the best tips and tricks for the Old Coach Rd. Max was super helpful too and even fixed up our bikes while Mac had an excellent knowledge of current events and the daily news. 10/10 best bike shop for your kune bike tours.

We rode the Old Coach Road last week using the shuttle and the bikes from Max and his team. It was a faultless experience. We were a mixed party in age, ability, confidence and experience and Max selected perfect bikes for all 11 of us including full suspension e bikes for the older generation which were essential! The briefing, information on the sites along the way, safety and watch outs was brilliant. A super friendly, knowledgeable and professional team who genuinely wanted every member of our party to have the best day out. Would highly recommend.
Thanks guys - we will be back!

We decided to take an international friend to Ohakune to ride the Old Coach Road. He normally
Is a road and pathway cyclist but does ride rental E mountain bikes with us when he comes to NZ.
The bike was booked by phone, and payment was made on arrival. The staffer was easy to deal with and relaxed and as we were riding both ways, he indicated flexibility as far as the 4 hours we had hired it for, which was appreciated. Instruction was given as to controls on the bike. Our friend did find the suspension somewgat harsh which after checking it appeared the front fork could have needed a service. Also the bars on this bike were unusually wide for a rental bike which our friend commented on. They were even wider than our personal mountain bikes and more suited to downhilling. Perhaps these could be trimmed for people renting as there is no need for the width on this ride. Otherwise the bike was reliable and we returned after visiting Horopito in under 4 hours. There are two cycle rental firms in Ohakune township which means you have to ride 2.3kms to start the trail by the railway station rather than parking at the station..

Thanks so much to Max at Kune shuttles - we did a few days of the amazing Round the Mountain walk, and were really grateful for the knowledgeable tips, advice and chat, and extremely prompt shuttle to the start of a fantastic walk. A great start to a great walk 👌

Booked two e-bikes to cycle the Old Coach Road. This is a 17.5km trail. Max was awesome to deal with right from the outset. He made sure we were happy with every aspect of the bike before we left the car park. There was plenty of choice of helmet sizes and he made sure they were a good fit for us. We had also booked the shuttle service to the trail starting point at Horopito so the bikes were loaded on to the back of his vehicle and we were off! At the start of the trail he went through in detail what we could see and expect and gave us a map of the route. There isn’t really a chance to go the wrong way! Off we set on three hours of exhilarating riding for us through some stunning bush and spectacular views. We had been advised to bring along water and snacks which were very welcome. The weather was also very kind to us as it was dry and sunny but not too hot. There were a couple of picnic tables along the route as well as plenty of information boards about the particular area we were in so we had plenty of stops along the way.
At the end of our ride when we returned to the store Max was there to hear about our adventures and take the bikes and helmets from us. A fantastic activity which we thoroughly enjoyed. We are not regular bike riders and completed this in just over three hours. Would we recommend this? Absolutely!!

A fabulous experience biking the "Bridge to Nowhere". The whole trip was organised by Kune Shuttles which made it very easy for us. Transport, transfers and bike hire as well as safety briefing etc. All done with friendly service and great communication.
Would thoroughly recommend.

Max picked us up for a shuttle to the bridge to nowhere ride. He was brilliant, knowledgeable and super friendly. He coordinated his shuttle and the jet boat collection which made it so easy.
