Great experience...even with a bit of rain. Bikes were set up for the 6 of us, easy instructions and a couple seat adjustments...we were on our way. Pickup location by ISite where cruise ship dropped us. Maps were great, even if we somehow couldn't read them. Beautiful bike trails...would absolutely do again! Lovely Port!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. We were given recommendations and maps suggesting where to ride, great bikes, and instructions on how to use the bikes. Also included were helmets, a lock, and a storage bag on the back. And…Napier is a biking haven. Could not say enough good things about this place and the people operating it! Would highly recommend!!!

      The shop was ready and very well organized and prepared for our arrival. The bikes were in excellent condition and the gentleman who helped us was very knowledgeable. My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a better map. We became “lost” several times but were able to get help from the very kind NZ citizens. Would highly recommend this tour.

      Good day out

      Lindsey_R, Mar 2026
      Easy pick up, bikes were ready and waiting. Maps were available. Pannier bags were not enormous, but did expand and we could both put would small rucksacks in them Front wheel needed tightening after riding for a bit as the quick release had not been tightened properly

      Highly recommend!

      Jason_G, Mar 2026
      This place to get bikes was so convenient for where you get dropped off from the cruise ship. Literally across the street. Great staff and very accommodating.

      They had everything ready for us when we arrived so we could get out quickly. Nice bike trails here.

      Bikes well maintained....

      Sharon_M, Feb 2026
      Bikes well maintained. Good briefing prior to setting off however due to major roadworks and road closures we were unable to find/access the vineyard trail marked in yellow on the map we were given. We ended up riding along the coastal path instead which was pleasant but not outstanding…

      Great bike paths

      Loreen_M, Feb 2026
      Easy to find shop. Had our bikes ready and even switched one for easier use. Friendly and informative. The bikes were easy to ride and paths were flat.

      Where e-bikes have names (I rode E-lane!)

      Robert_H, Jan 2026
      This is an efficient and well run enterprise. We arrived for our pre booked hire of 4 Ebikes and everything was set up and ready to go. After a comprehensive explanation of the bikes from Amber we were ready to go. Napier is a perfect place for biking with flat paths.

      Response from Host, Jan 2026

      Kia ora Robert! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience with us and had a blast riding our local trails, cheers! I’ll make sure Amber hears your lovely feedback

      Great bikes to enjoy city

      Lorry_B, Jan 2026
      We had a wonderful day on the bikes exploring the city. There is a long bike path to keep you out of traffic. The bikes were comfortable and operated nicely. If you plan on biking to the wineries, you should know that the closest one is 10 miles away and the map is hard to follow. Luckily we had a local that assisted us most of the way there.

      Response from Host, Jan 2026

      Many thanks Lorry for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the cycling and the wineries. Thank you for the feedback - it helps us improve the experience for future explorers. Glad you had a great day out!

      Winery Ride

      John_C, Jan 2026
      Fun ride along the coast and through the wetlands to Mission Winery. We didn’t follow the same route back to town after the winery. We had to cross a lot of streets on our return trip, we probably should have backtracked to get back to town.

      Response from Host, Jan 2026

      Kia ora John! It sounds like a fantastic trip out to Mission Estate. The wetlands route is definitely a favorite for staying off the roads. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

      Thank you Jim for your review! We appreciate your kind of words, sounds like you had a fun day out. Thank you for the feedback on the map, we're always looking for ways to make the trails easier to navigate.

      A magical day on e-bikes

      Alan_W, Jan 2026
      This was a bargain for an all day open adventure. Our bikes were ready, marked and measured for each of us. The drop off was literally across the street from the shop from our shuttle stop. The orientation was thorough and we were coached for a route. However, the path is not well marked and we overshot our turn, but met up with with a wonderful local rider. Thank you Julie for generously guiding us to our points of interest, stopping with us at a wonderful cafe in the middle of orchard country and advising us correctly on our return in time to shop, return our bikes and go for Manuka honey. Perfect excursion and $200 less than one offered by the cruise. Oh, and our e-bikes were flawless

      Response from Host, Jan 2026

      Kia ora Alan! We're stoked you had such a great day out and enjoyed our service. Thanks for the brilliant feedback!

      Rent from this shop!

      Stephanie_T, Jan 2026
      We did the loop that went up the coastline and back to the bike shop via the wetlands. We couldn’t have asked for better sightseeing. Beautiful water at the first half and some great wildlife sightings on the second. The people at the shop were so helpful and walked us through everything. Gave us a couple options and let us know which was the best option for what we were looking for.

      Awesome self-tour excursion in Napier

      Daniel_D, Jan 2026
      Access is directly across the info center where the cruise shuttle bus drops off passengers. The bikes were ready and waiting for us with our names on them. The rep at the bike shop gave an excellent demo of how to operate the e-bike as well as provided a map and instruction of the best route to take in the limited time we had in port. This bike rental was well worth the cost and much more pleasant than doing a group tour with the cruise ship.

      Everyone was very...

      Duane_O, Dec 2025
      Everyone was very friendly and helpful. They waiting for us to arrive and had had us taken care of immediately.

      Honorable company! And there aren't many!!

      Mark_W, Dec 2025
      I am rating this 5 stars, not because we took the experience, but because our ship was unable to dock due to weather and the company were brilliant in their instance response and agreement to refund us. Clearly a very honorable business.

      Excellent service....

      Eric_S, Apr 2025
      Excellent service. Efficient pick-up and return. Beautiful scenery and an awesome ride! There is so much to see!

      Service was awesome when...

      Gerry_C, Mar 2025
      Service was awesome when we picked up our bikes it wasn’t one of our favourite ports but highly recommend the bike tour as it gives you the ability to see more of the coast line

      Great bikes!

      tharpcheryl, Mar 2025
      Bikes were excellent, customer service was fantastic. Couldn’t be better. We had a great day biking (35km) - highly recommend this company!

      A fun way to explore Napier!

      Lisa_B, Mar 2025
      We came into Napier via cruiseship. The bike rental location is directly across the street from the cruiseship shuttle drop off. It truly couldn't be more convenient! The employees were fantastic with asking what we wished to see, providing a map and telling us how to get there. They also gave us additional ideas of local must see locations. The bikes were in fantastic working order. The area is flat and the paths are well marked. This is a fun and wonderful way to spend the day exploring Napier!

      Response from Host, Mar 2025

      Thank you so much for your detailed review, much appreciated!

      E-bikes

      Joelle_E, Mar 2025
      The bikes are are a really good way to have an adventure. We loved it. Never ridden an assisted bike before and it was really fun.

      Phil and Lorraine

      Phil_S, Mar 2025
      Easy to find as it was right across road from the cruise ship shuttle. Staff were friendly and amazing. Showed us a gr8 route to take and the e-bikes were brilliant. Had a mishap with a flat tire but they provided great support and had me back up and running within 30min. Will definitely recommend to others.

      Napier Bike... Great shop

      Jill_D, Feb 2025
      Pick up location was fabulous and convenient! Bikes were ready, drop off was so easy. Staff was very kind and knowledge.

      Great bikes, friendly...

      Paul_M, Feb 2025
      Great bikes, friendly shop. Need a GPS based map for easier navigation. Even mileage from point to point would help greatly.

      Sunshine 68 km Ride in Napier.

      Paul_H, Jan 2025
      68km ride around Napier was great. Highlight might have been wine tasting (4 reds) at Mission where I bought a nice Pinot to enjoy after the ride. My bike was ready for me when I arrived before the scheduled shop opening. I hope I can come back some day and do it again.

      Beautiful bike ride in Napier!

      Neil_M, Jan 2025
      Excellent service - bikes were ready and waiting when we arrived. Excellent advice on routes and sites! We enjoyed the entire experience!

      Easy peasy.

      helen_s, Oct 2024
      Loved the individual bike names. Beautiful people welcoming friendly and everything all set to get you out and riding the km’s of beautiful, flat paths threaded through this beautiful countryside. Not bike riders and being of moderate fitness, my husband and I enjoyed this thoroughly. Highlight of the trip.

      Response from Host, Oct 2024

      Thank you so much Helen for an awesome review and your enthusiasm, it's great to hear it was a memorable experience for both of you!

      Simply the best way to see Napier

      Anne_K, Oct 2024
      Friendly informative staff who had the bikes ready and waiting when we got there. We can’t express enough how delightful travelling around Napier and surrounds was on an E-bike. Great experience. A must for anyone with a sense of adventure. Smooth FLAT trails the entire way.

      Response from Host, Oct 2024

      Thank you Anne for your kind review, it's great to hear you enjoyed your day out cycling!

      Michelle_L, Apr 2024
      We had a great time riding along the beach on our E-bikes. I would definitely do this again! The staff at the bike shop were super friendly and helpful.
