A cycle trip for cyclists!
 So you like quiet sealed roads, spectacular views and the chance to let the miles roll under the wheels? Some steady uphill climbs, rolling farmland, spectacular coastal rides, cosy hotels and inns and a feel for real New Zealand? This 13 day cycle trip is made for you.
From Christchurch on the east coast we cross the main divide twice as we explore the South Islands west coast and finish back into Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand. Relax in hot natural pools at the end of a days riding, experience rainforest edged roads, spectacular coastlines and a chance to walk on a glacier - or just keep those miles rolling by. For those days when the gears seem a little high and the hills just a bit steeper, the accompanying support vehicle is always close at hand. This trip has been designed for you.

"New Zealand is a fantastic place to cycle, the roads are good and the terrain changes quickly from forest to coastline to dry mountainous regions. Helen was an awesome guide and made everyday a special experience." – Rhe Zinnecker, Seattle, USA
