  • Excludes on-trail guide - your friendly driver will brief you along the way and answer any questions you may have, but the trail is really easy to follow and full of information stations, so a guide isn't really necessary.

  • We'll pick you up from the cruise ship port in Wellington, we'll then drive to the start of the trail (pass by)
  • Start point for your 28km ride. Start your adventure with a very gradual incline through native bush. Pass through tunnels (headlights provided!) and over bridges, while checking out information boards detailing the enormous task of constructing the old fell railway system. Reach the summit - a large grassy plateau perfect for a picnic or cold drink - then enjoy a fun (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, surrounded by some of NZ's most scenic farmland. Follow the path along the countryside to the Royal Hotel in Featherston.
  • We'll pick you up at the Royal Hotel in Featherston, before heading back over the Remutaka Ranges, through the Hutt Valley and back to the cruise ship port (approx arrival time is 3.45-4.00pm). Please note: if you are on a cruise ship, we pick you up direct from the Port at 9.15am. We cannot wait for late arrivals - make sure you are there on time otherwise the shuttle will leave without you! We arrive back at Port between 3.45pm - 4pm. Please check that your sailing times allow for these timings, we will not be held responsible if you miss your boat! (pass by)
