16 Day South Island Cycle Tour

  This tour can be split into two sections, 8 days Wellington to Christchurch and 10 days Christchurch to Queenstown.
  With the Southern Alps running along the length of the South island, hidden valleys and remote areas abound. In them is unlimited opportunity to get off the beaten track to explore and experience a different face of New Zealand. Our journey begins in the capital city of Wellington with a scenic ferry crossing to the South Island. Explore the beautiful Marlborough Sounds, cycle around world class vineyards, through stunning mountain valleys, follow meandering rivers and experience the wild West Coast as we make our way to Queenstown, the Adventure capital of NZ.
  Where possible we ride on little used and remote roads and 4x4 tracks to bring us to our next destination, exploring areas seldom visited by other bike tours. With full vehicle support, we have the opportunity to ride some of NZ's classic routes and some remote and little known back-roads. We have carefully chosen the roads that we ride to not only get us to the next destination but also to show you the real New Zealand.
  While some of the riding is on dirt and 4x4 roads, this trip can be enjoyed by anyone with some off-road cycling experience. At the end of each day we stay in a variety of guesthouses, hostels and lodges, with the ever-present hot showers, cold beers and opportunites to experience some of NZ's local cuisine.
  For those with only limited time we can split the trip into two sections so you can book on to either the full 16 day tour or the first section of 8 days Wellington to Christchurch (Day 1 to 8 inclusive) or the second section, 10 days Christchurch to Queenstown (day 7 to 16 inclusive).
