Relaxed Cycle Ride Bike the Otago Central Rail Trail in Winter and enjoy the spectacular scenery along the Old Maniototo rail line from Clyde in Central Otago to Middlemarch.  Start with us from Queenstown or Clyde and finish back in Queenstown.  The Otago Central Rail Trail trip is not just about the cycling but rather exploring the many small towns and abandoned gold diggings and meeting local inhabitants. Along the way we will even try our hand at the ancient art of curling (bowls on ice).  The Winter Rail Trail is run on demand, please contact us to discuss your next winter break!

  “As one of the participants of last week's Otago Rail Trail trip I just wanted to say a great big thanks for the wonderful experience with an amazing tour guide - Louise! We experienced the four seasons in one week which enhanced the tour - especially for the Australians from Townsville - who had never seen snow before! The communication prior to, and during the tour was prompt and very professional. I look forward to booking another "adventure" with your company next year.” Judy Burk, Otago Rail Trail November 2008
