Activity itinerary

Wellington
  • 1h
We'll pick you up at 9.30am from Wellington Station and shuttle you to the start of the trail at either Te Marua or Kaitoke (your choice)
Te Mārua
  • 1h
Optional start point for the 27-37km ride
Remutaka Rail Trail - Kaitoke
  • 3h
Start point for the 18/28km ride, recommended for those less confident or wanting to cruise and take their time. On the trail, you’ll start by cycling through the native bird-filled Pakuratahi Forest. Follow an old railway line over bridges and through tunnels, while pausing, if you like, to check out information stations detailing the enormous task of constructing the “Fell” railway system - a first for New Zealand at the time, and one of only a few around the world. Once you reach the summit, you will stop for a picnic lunch on a large grassy plateau next to the remnants of a historic station. After lunch, enjoy an exhilarating (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, with views of some of New Zealand’s stunning farming heartland.
Wairarapa
  • 1h
We'll pick you up at Cross Creek in the Wairarapa, before we shuttle you back over the Remutaka ranges, down the Hutt Valley and back to Wellington Station (arriving approx. 3.30pm)
