Overview

Quiet roads, spectacular scenery

New Zealand's roads are generally quiet and the scenery spectacular; a combination which makes it a perfect cycling destination. It is through this constantly changing, uncluttered countryside that you will cycle and have your senses invigorated by the sights and sounds of your surroundings.

Stop! You're on holiday

A combined bus and cycle tour ensures you cycle the highlights of both islands in a relatively short time. You will cycle approximately 700 kilometres and are always welcome to ride in the support vehicle whenever you feel the need. Experience has taught us that it's best to not overdo the first couple of days.

Rest and activities galore

Along the way we'll get to take part in many optional activities including kayaking and bush walking in the Coromandel, geysers, hot springs and boiling mud pools in Rotorua, the fabulous winter gardens in Whanganui and much, much more!
