If you love cycling & also love seeing some stunning countryside as you move between Trails, then this is the Tour for you. We did Wilhelmina Gilbert’s 3 Trails ride which provides the perfect combination of very different trails (the Hauraki Rail Trail; the Waikato River Trail and the Timber Trail). What we loved was not only the variety of cycling, but the mix of accommodation, from motel to the old style guesthouse with gourmet homemade food & the newer & unique Timber Trail Lodge in the “middle of nowhere”. Add to this the punctuality of Wilhelmina’s pick ups & her care (I had a nasty post cruise “bug” & she even gave me some of her native leaf remedy to try), we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blue Tui as the way to cycle & see the Central North Island of New Zealand.

The Blue Tui team were absolutely fantastic for our 3 families doing the Timber Trail MTB. All the drop off and pickups worked really well and they were flexible. Great advice and friendly service. Really carefull with the bikes and all done for a really good price. Definitely recommend these guys.

Bike ride transportation. It is difficult to find enough words of praise for the service we received from this company. We are seniors in our 70’s enjoying cycle trails on our ebikes. We were collected from our B and B and taken to the trail. Assisted with information on Waikato River trail and checked we were comfortable with her recommendation. Joined us for lunch after being sure we knew where to come off trail for the cafe. As seniors it is invaluable to know help is at hand if anything goes wrong, like a puncture or a health problem. We would recommend this service as exceptional and made our day an outstanding success. Thank you we look forward to using your service again.

Blue Tui Shuttles owner/operator Wilhelmina went out of her way to be helpful and informative. Nothing was ever a problem for her and she was able to recommend parts of trails to enjoy some beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend her and would use her again if visiting the Waikato for cycling.

WE cycled three days along the Waikato River Trail with Blue Tui Shuttles. Booking this trip for six was easy and even when part of the trail was closed by Department of Conservation (DOC) Wilhelmina was on to it and changed plans that were just right for us. She is a one woman show and besides all home cooking she looks after everyone so very well. She ensures you know where you are going and even walks a little way to help some old folk like us up some steep grades! (Our average age was 73.5!). Food was great and she was always where she said she would be. We loved it but found some of the terrain challenging! I would highly recommend Blu Tui Shuttles for any of the packages.
