Tour Details:

Following a smooth rail trail, cycle paths, wetland boardwalk, suspension bridges and country roads, this 84km trail is both relaxing and highly rewarding with a huge amount of variety in scenery.

As you ride this trail you will experience complete immersion into some of New Zealand’s rural heartland, with rolling farmlands and backcountry townships that will leave you with lasting memories of old fashioned kiwi hospitality.

You can ride anything from 20km per day through to 50km, (or more if you really want to!), and our support wagon will not be far away the whole time.

Includes 3 star accommodation, twin share for two nights. Single supplement charge of $100  per night. (Option to upgrade to 4.5 star accommodation for additional $100pp per night).
