2.Great Escape Self-Guided Scenic Cycle Winery Tour from Napier

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 75 reviews · from $49

Cycle Napier’s coast, wetlands, and Tukituki vineyards on a flexible 28km self-guided tour with winery stops and a return shuttle.

“Great experience. Not a hard ride. We had originally booked the 4 winery tour but our boat was too late arriving so we did the two winery route. Great bikes, great maps and wineries. We had an amazing lunch at The Mission Winery. I wish we could have stayed longer. It is a very easy bike ride except for the winds. There are a couple of small paths to be careful of on coming bikers but only a couple. The rest is pretty easy.”
