Shuttles

The ride doesn’t always start at your front wheel. Sometimes you need a lift to get to the good stuff, that’s where we come in. Our shuttle services make it easy to reach Nelson Tasman’s highlights, whether you’re rolling the Great Taste Trail, heading deep into the backcountry, or chasing laps at the Gorge.
Bikes, bags, and bikers, we’ve got you covered.

So whether you are looking to jump ahead to Spooner’s Tunnel or Māpua, need a hand with luggage, or short on time, our Cycling Shuttles keep things cruisy on the Great Taste Trail, while our Mountainbike Shuttles get you and your bikes to the region’s big tracks, trails, and Mountainbike parks.
