New Zealand bike tours, guided and self-guided
Boutique, small-group guided e-bike tours and self-guided rides across the South Island, owned by two people who take care of every detail, so you can settle into the ride, enjoy the scenery, good company, and make the most of every day.
Three decades of tours, family-run by Brett and Judy.
Small groups, never more than 12 riders. Small enough to know you by name.
One riding guide plus a support driver on every guided tour.
These are rides made for the journey, not racing to the finish. Take in the big landscapes, stop whenever something catches your eye, and enjoy the South Island at a pace that leaves plenty of time for good company and the unexpected.
Guided small-group tours
Ride with a guide who knows every bend, with the van always close by. If a hill isn't happening today, hop in. No explanations needed.

Self-guided tours
The route planned, the rooms booked, the bikes sorted. You set the pace and take the days as they come.

The flagship:
Alps, Valleys & Lakes
Ten nights, Christchurch to Christchurch, on top-of-the-range e-bikes. One day you are riding along a green valley floor, the next you are high above a lake, and the TranzAlpine rail journey is woven into the route. Designed for confident riders, this is the guided tour we would recommend to anyone visiting New Zealand for the first time, and the one our guests talk about for years.

The small stuff is the big stuff
The hotels are the ones we stay in ourselves when we go on holidays. As a local, owner-operated company, we're never far away, with 24-hour support from our Christchurch base while you're on the trail. And before you book, we'll always tell you the truth about a trail, including the hard parts.
Know the trail before you book it
Our trail guides cover real distances, honest grades and access points for the South Island's best rides, written by the people who ride them for a living.

"How some days were adapted to make longer or shorter for individual skill level was much appreciated. I loved every minute."

"It is the little things about this tour that really set it apart."
