Get away from Wellington or Wairarapa and explore the Remutaka Rail Trail. We can meet you at the trail head or collect you from either side of the hill.
This railway line was the earliest connection from Wairarapa to Wellington but was replaced by a tunnel 50+ years ago.
The Remutaka rail trail is the most popular section of the Remutaka Cycle Trail and offers an easy, diverse ride across a mountain pass. You can enjoy learning about the early history of this region, take a dip in the clean Pakuratahi River, creep through 5 tunnels and whizz down hill across the Siberia Curve Suspension Bridge.
The Remutaka Rail Trail is an excellent outing for all ages and abilities. This is a great ride for kids!
When you have finished the trail, hold onto your bikes for an afternoon around the vines – NO EXTRA COST.
