BIKE AND SAIL TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT
Explore the Isle of Wight by bicycle with this great special offer, in partnership with Wightlink Ferries. The cost of hire includes the return ferry crossing from Lymington to Yarmouth.
The Isle of Wight is an idyllic place and with over half the island designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's easy to get close to nature on cycling routes to suit all abilities.
Your day out starts when you pick up your bikes at Brockenhurst station, then pedal or take the train to Lymington Pier station where your Wightlink ferry awaits you. After that you're free to follow our comprehensive route instructions at your own pace on the island, before returning the bikes to us before closing at 5.30pm.

What’s Not Included

In order to have enough time to spend on the island we recommend customers arrive at our cycle hire centre at 10am on the day of hire. We do not send out bikes to the island after 11am. We expect that riders going to the Isle of Wight are able to replace and repair an inner tube if needed. We do not send our tandems to the Isle of Wight.
