If you’re not quite sure about doing the whole Otago Central Rail Trail or you don’t have the time at this stage then consider a whistle stop ride through the Poolburn Viaduct section. We can set you up on one of our “Green machines” (Avanti Atomic mountain bikes) for a day trip along this spectacular and historical leg of the Otago Central Rail Trail.

The details

Hire cost is $40 inc gst per day and includes

- Avanti Atomic 24 speed mountain bike with front shocks and comfort seat
- Avanti helmet
- Pannier bags (if you want them, no extra charge)
- Tool kit and spare tube (just in case)
- Headlight (it’s dark in those tunnels)

Two Avanti Black thunders that are suitable for 8yrs up are also available at a cost of $30 per day.
