- 508elkeb00an absolute must do when in Queenstown!an absolute must do when in Queenstown! The company is run by the fantastic couple Shane and Ksena. People with drive and passion to deliver an end to end highest quality outdoor experience. On top of professional and people focused service they offer the highest quality e-bikes yo can think of. What an experience! KR, Steven
- ChristeneMain00A Must Do adventure!We did the ride to the vines and had an amazing time with Ksena! It was a gorgeous ride through forests and over suspension bridges. I am not a super skilled cyclist, so this was the perfect tour for me. The wine at the end was delightful, but the hospitality and service were unrivaled. This is a must do in queenstown for active people/wine drinkers!
- BettyeBetty00Ride to the VinesWe did the Ride to The Vines with Ksena as our bike and wine guide. Wonderful experience! Ksena is very knowledgeable about both bikes and wine, and provided a great experience. It was our first time on e-mountain bikes, and she kept us informed on the route about both what was coming up and how to gear/which mode to be in for whatever was coming our way. The scenery is beautiful! The wine selection and the charcuterie were very well paired, and included a new taste experience for us. After 21 miles of riding, and some wine tasting, we were picked up by Shay in the company van and driven back to our hotels. All in all, a wonderful experience! When we return to New Zealand in the future, we will definitely have this, or another one of their tours on our itinerary! Thank You Ksena and Shay! Well Done!
- HR74000Great experience, lots of fun and epic views.You might think you’ll like this experience, if you’ve never ridden an eBike you will love this experience. This activity was part of a surprise weekend for my wife’s 50th and we were not the youngest on the trip. The bike doesn’t do all the work for you, you have to pedal and you will get a little puffed here and there but these bikes make you super human! As you pedal the bike motor matches your input, not sure if that is technically correct but seemed for what you put in you get double or more the output. You can go places only an athlete would go on a normal bike and you will be rewarded with epic views; the lake, the Remarkables and from above watch planes take off from the airport and fly through the valley. Added to this your guide Shay, a warm human with fantastic energy will entertain you with stories of the area whilst literally guiding you up and down a mountain. If you’re lucky like we were a close encounter with a couple of shotover jets by the river and a lesson in stone skimming. Afterwards Shay will send you all the photos and videos he took whilst whizzing past you (he’s fast) at no extra cost. We’ll be looking to do more of Shay and Ksena’s rides when we’re back in QT. Ride To The Sky was the best thing we’ve done for a long time, top value.
- Safari5889839470700Must do MTB experienceExceptional experience, everything was perfect! The bikes are top notch, the route to the top of the mountain one of the best trails I’ve been to. Our guide was the best, making sure we had fun riding and also kept us safe. It’s a must do when you’re in Queenstown
- Camper4641074580200Cool e-bikes and awesome views!Wow! Great experience! Our hosts were super friendly, informative and helpful. The e-bikes stole the show making a challenging climb smooth and much easier. Great riding partners, great view from the top and a lot of fun!
- Mobile3029493573400Amazing views, wonderful guides, top-rated e-bikes!RideToTheSky is a very professional outfit. Ksena picked us up on time and provided gloves and balaclavas for the chilly morning...our ride would not have been fun without those. They also offer backpacks, water bottles, snacks and drinks. The moustache bikes were very powerful and in great shape. Ksena gave us a great tutorial before we headed out. Shay was safety conscious, e.g. driving ahead to check for vehicles on a farm track, and then radioing us the all clear. Yes, radios on all bikes. Shay was also encouraging when one needed it (downhill parts, scary for some of us). The photos were a very nice bonus and the ride itself was fantastic because there are little sheep trails on the sides that offer some extra technical challenge if you want. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and will do it again if we ever make it to QT again.
- RobbieChittick00Awesome adventureAwesome fun, amazing scenery, friendly crew! A great way to see more of the beautiful area, in an action packed, fun filled few hours!
- I5199TWpaulf00E-bike wine tourWe did the e-bike tour to Gibson valley stopping at a winery for wine tasting and a cheese platter. Ksena our guide was very knowledgable and really helped ensure we were at ease on the bikes and the route. She took lots of great photos of us cycling and tailored the day to suit us. We really enjoyed our experience and would recommend to others.
- hannahoT516XG00Amazing views, memorable experience!Wish I could go 6/5…Shay was an awesome guide, providing tips and keeping us at pace, plus the views were absolutely incredible. The bikes are clearly high quality and made the climbs feel easy. Would recommend to anyone in QST… Easily one of the most unique and best tours I’ve done!
- Wander1915624633900Best adventureThe trip was out of our expectation. Riding an ebike up the hill for the first time was a challenge accomplished. It was not possible without the help of our tour guide who was so patient with me. I fell down multiple times when going downhill, but our guide kept encouraging me and supporting me closely until the end. The view was stunning all the way, and you would no longer want to ride a normal bike after you have tried an ebike. We will definitely join another ebike tour with them next time.
- Bslinder00Ride To The SkyThis was one of my favorite tours. Worked a bit but was well worth it. Shay was awesome guide, so helpful and patient. The view from the top was incredible. Thanks!!
- OnAir1314167934800Great bike tripReally good ride with Shay. Had no experience riding an electric bike but with Shay's instructions, I soon got the hang of it. Great views overlooking Queenstown at the top. Would recommend.
- mikemX7734CF00Awesome Ride!Shay took my partner (Sharon) and I and another couple from Vancouver, Canada, on the Ride to the sky on Mar 15, 2023. Shay is a awesome guide, very caring and considerate, and constantly giving helpful advise to the bikers. This trip was one of the highlights of our visit in New Zealand, and if you are even thinking about doing it, I highly recommend it! It is not easy, even with an EBike, but the view at the top (and along the way) is incredible and the journey is a blast! Thank you Shay! We will always remember this "Ride to the Sky". Mike and Sharon, Amherst, Massachusetts. USA
- R7992EPdebbied00The Best Queenstown Activity!We did the Ride to the Sky experience and it was amazing! Jana, our tour guide, took the time to explain and teach us so we felt comfortable. She was so nice, patient, and fun to be around. My husband is more experienced with mountain biking, and I’m a casual neighborhood street kind of rider. I was a little nervous this would be out of my league, but it wasn’t. The e-bikes were perfect and easy to use, yet challenging enough that I felt accomplished at the end. Beautiful scenery, and we also would stop here and there for fun pictures and activities. I would definitely recommend this tour!

A great tour to experience with outstanding lakeside scenery including the Remarkables and Shotover River. Beautiful. The bikes are just fantastic. So easy to ride and we could have ridden all day on these. E-bikes are a dream for any experience level of biking and no need to be a mountain bike junky to love them. Suitable even for mature riders and younger non-sporty teens given how much the bikes take the strain and boost your effort. Ksina was our guide and she was great! She had a refreshing direct charm and had the kids completely under her spell and they followed her like the Pied Piper! She is very knowledgeable, and ready to look out and support any riders who need help or encouragement. Ksina organised a pick up for us once our eldest child had declared he was done and that was super helpful and personalised. Overall, brilliant 3 hours and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best experience I've had so far in New Zealand!!!!
We are still dreaming about our incredible mountain ebike tour around the lake. Our guide Ksena deserves more than 5 stars. We truly won the jackpot with her! She was very patient, knowledgable, professional, had a great attitude, and was also very funny. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Queenstown. Thank you again for showing my family and I such a great time!

This was my first time going on a bike tour and at first I was concerned about the weather as it was snowing and raining. However it turned out to be the best bike ride I've ever had. Shay was such an amazing guide. He was very attentive and took great care of us. The trail was just super scenic. 10/10 experience!

This was by far the best activity we've done in Queenstown and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Queenstown. I'm over 70 years old and was a little scared to ride an ebike for the first time. Ksena was awesome and made our experience unforgettable. She was very patient and helped me through some of the more challenging parts of going uphill and downhill. She gave me confidence to enjoy our 3 hour bike ride. She's one of the best tour guides I've ever had.
I had so much fun and really enjoyed riding through this breathtaking scenery. I especially recommend coming during the fall when the colors of the leaves are all changing. Can't wait to come back and do it again!
