Highlights: This 15 day Off Road Tour is full of adventure, challenge and excitement for the intermediate to experienced mountain biker. The route, sometimes on private farmland, takes you over Alpine passes, alongside beautiful lakes, through river valleys and across pastoral plains, highlighting the incredible diversity of landscapes and scenery within New Zealand’s South Island. You begin in Central Otago by riding amongst the typically dry and rocky terrain of this High Country and Lakes Region. Then it is on to Canterbury where the landscape changes to beech forests and rugged mountains before you finish your Tour by riding the spectacular Queen Charlotte Track in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. Along the way you can sample New Zealand’s delicious cuisine washed down with our fine wines.

This New Zealand bicycle tour offers mountain bikers a challenging cycling adventure through the scenic wonderland of the South Island. Your bicycle tour takes in the sweeping pastoral landscapes and sparkling lakes of New Zealand's Mackenzie country and the steep alpine passes and breathtaking mountain views of Central Otago, highlighting the incredible diversity of landscapes and scenery within New Zealand’s South Island. A support vehicle carries your luggage and allows you to hitch a ride if and when required.
