SOUTH ISLAND 8 DAY ROAD CYCLING TOUR
480 km or 300 miles
Route:
Christchurch - Queenstown - Wanaka - Fox Glacier - Hokitika - Christchurch
Attention road bikers: You have the option to cycle up to 100 km+ (60 miles+) each day
Experience the scenic ‘Jewels’ of the South Island on a South Island cycling tour starting and finishing in Christchurch and taking you via Queenstown and the rugged West Coast. You can choose from rides between 60 km (40 miles) and 100 km+ (60 miles+) each day.
From Christchurch you drive to the foot of the Southern Alps, where the cycling starts gently. On quieter backroads, you continue cycling through rolling farmland which gradually opens up into the expansive Mackenzie Basin where you can admire breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and the golden tussock grasslands of the Lindis Pass area. Cycle though historic goldmining towns before arriving in Queenstown, the outdoor Adventure Capital of New Zealand.
Cycle through the ‘High Country’ alongside Lakes Hawea and Wanaka to the West Coast where the landscape dramatically changes to dense rainforest. There is the opportunity to visit the face of Fox or Franz Josef Glaciers and explore the special charm of West Coast gold rush towns. Your tour concludes with a beautiful ride alongside Lake Brunner followed by a traverse through the Southern Alps back to Christchurch.
Note: Tour ends on the evening of day 8.
