Experience two of Central Otago's most spectacular rides on one unforgettable journey. Twin Grand Gorges combines the dramatic new Kawarau Gorge Trail with the world-famous Lake Dunstan Trail, creating a two-day cycling adventure packed with breathtaking scenery, remarkable trail engineering, and unforgettable trail moments.

Beginning in Gibbston Valley, follow the Kawarau River through rugged backcountry landscapes, crossing suspension bridges and traversing spectacular gorge terrain as you make your way to the heart of Bannockburn wine country. Spend the night surrounded by vineyards in Bannockburn or Cromwell before setting off on day two along the Lake Dunstan Trail.  

 From Bannockburn, ride beside the turquoise waters of Lake Dunstan and into the dramatic Cromwell Gorge. Marvel at the trail's iconic cantilevered boardwalks, cliffside pathways, and engineering achievements as you journey towards Clyde, one of Central Otago's most charming historic towns. 

Along the way, discover gold rush history, world-class wine country, towering rock formations, and some of New Zealand's most celebrated cycling experiences. Combining two Great Rides, two spectacular gorges, and countless unforgettable views, Twin Grand Gorges is the perfect escape for adventurous riders wanting to experience Central Otago at its most dramatic.
