Day 01

Cycle the Remutaka Rail Trail from Maymorn to Cross Creek

Meet your guide at around 9 am at your hotel in Wellington. Travel by shuttle to Maymorn for a 25 km ride, or to Kaitoke for an 18 km ride, with your Wellington guide. Follow the Remutaka Rail Trail by bike. The route has a very gradual incline, taking you through tunnels and over bridges while you learn how the old Fell railway system was constructed. Reach the Summit, a large grassy plateau that is perfect for a picnic or a cold drink. Enjoy a fun descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, surrounded by some of New Zealand's most scenic farmland. Take a shuttle from Cross Creek at 2:00 pm back to your accommodation in Wellington, arriving at 3:30 pm.
