Are you ready to explore the big skies of Central Otago?
Let’s ride!
At Big Sky Bike Adventures, our goal is to give you the best Central Otago Rail Trail experience possible. Our free itinerary planning service will design a unique Rail Trail package specially for you - whatever your budget.
We'll organise your eBikes or bikes, accommodation, shuttles, transport to and from the trail, bag transfers, dinners and off-trail adventures, and package it up in one perfect itinerary so that you can focus on enjoying the breathtaking Central Otago scenery.
Bike and eBike Hire
Our fleet of standard bikes - Avanti Discovery 2 trekking bikes (standard and low entry) and our Black ATB eBikes, are both built around a total comfort concept. Their upright ride position takes the pressure off your hands and wrists, and suspension forks and seat posts - plus a Rolls Royce saddle - helps to smooth out the bumps.
