The City Lights
A unique experience in Auckland: we’ll ride out at dusk and pick the best vantage points to see the city light up. And don’t worry about riding in the evening – our bright bike lights will get you noticed!
Departs: Because the sun goes down at different times during the year, we’ve got a range of start times for this tour! So, November – 7.30pm, December to February – 8pm start, March – 7.15 pm start, April to October – 7pm start, all from our base at the Park Hyatt Auckland, 99 Halsey Street, Auckland CBD (we meet in the main lobby of the hotel).
Duration: 1.5 hours
Distance: around 12 km (between 1 to 1.25 hours’ easy riding time – all electric powered!)
Price: NZ$115 per person. Minimum age 14 years old (teenagers of 14-15 years old must be accompanied by an adult).
Group size: A very select group, even smaller than our usual group size! Up to 4 riders, plus your friendly guide (although please contact us at info@powertothepedal.com if you would like to enquire about a larger group).
What you’ll see:
The light in Auckland can be amazing in the evening and we think it’s a great time to ride the streets and join our fellow Aucklanders while they unwind after work. Our electric bikes are already very visible, but for this guided tour we make sure you have some additional lighting to really stand out as you are gliding along.
On this Auckland city tour with Power to the Pedal, we will lead you from our base and past the twinkling lights in the cool shopping district of Britomart. Then its along the waterfront, checking out some neon delights on Queens Wharf and the illuminated city skyline from the Viaduct – photo opportunity anyone? Then we’ll ride through Wynyard Quarter – one of Auckland’s most exciting new developments – and round the Silo Park, to check out the amazing new colourful lights on the Harbour Bridge. Next, we’ll cruise on our eBikes through Victoria Park and head towards the vibrant social hub that is the City Works Depot: home to some award-winning eating and drinking options. We’ll then ride on one of the highlights of the tour – Te Ara I Whiti/The Lightpath. This pristine (and pink!) cycleway looks stunning when it is lit up at night. And finally, we’ll ride down the awesome Grafton Gully cycleway on our way back to base, checking out the historic Grafton Bridge and the lights of the Port of Auckland sparkling in the background.
It’s a unique experience that should certainly be added to the “things to see in Auckland” list!
Oh, and as well as being eye-catching, did we mention how much fun our electric bikes are? We love them! See more here.
And if you’d like to try a longer ride, to see even more of amazing Auckland, we recommend that you check out either The Classic (our morning eBike tour) or The Inside Loop (our afternoon eBike tour).
