What are some of the highlights?

  • Cycle one of New Zealand’s Great Rides, following mostly car-free trails from scenic lakes and the mighty Southern Alps to the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
  • Spend time exploring off the bike, too – go on a short hike in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, visit film set locations and maybe even make a detour to the Omarama Clay Cliffs.
  • Taste some of New Zealand’s best produce when you make stops to try lake-caught salmon and sample drops from the country’s newest wine region (before the rest of the world discovers it!).
  • Experience firsthand the warm local hospitality, with memorable stays in lakeside lodges and charming guesthouses.
  • Gaze up at a sky full of stars when you spend a night in the town of Twizel, located in the renowned Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve.
