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.
