Cycle Trails

Cycling the New Zealand Cycle Trail network is one of the best ways to discover NZ’s stunning landscapes, local hospitality and unique culture. These purpose-built cycle trails are suited for people of all ages and abilities, from beginner and family friendly to experienced cyclists.

Along every trail there are opportunities to stop and take in uninterrupted views not accessible by any other form of transport as well as exploring remote townships and iconic landmarks along the way. Our support vehicle is never far away to pick up any tired legs.

From the popular Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail to the iconic Otago Central Rail Trail and rugged West Coast Wilderness, take a look at our multi-day Cycle Trail options below and join us on an adventure of a lifetime.

Why travel with us

Exceptional Guides

Our dedicated team of guides are passionate about showing you the natural areas of New Zealand and introducing you to the limitless adventure opportunities. Our guides play a huge part in the overall experience of our trips, which is why we provide two experienced guides on any trip with over 7 people.

Small Groups

We think small is good. Travelling in a group between 4 and 14 people limits the environmental impact, allows you to make life-long friendships, and ensures your travels are fully immersive. Travel like a local, at a relaxed pace and away from the crowds. We couldn't think of a better way to see NZ.

Your Comfort

We stay in carefully selected accommodations that are not only comfortable, but provide local charm and opportunities for genuine cultural interactions. Daily breakfasts are included on all of our tours as well as most lunches and dinners, and a support vehicle is always nearby.
