10-Night Tour - Christchurch to Christchurch

Join the Wilderness, Coastlines & Vines tour and discover the diverse landscapes of New Zealand’s northern South Island on this unforgettable 10-night guided e-bike journey.

From the rugged beauty of the West Coast to the sunshine of the Nelson Tasman region, the golden beaches of Abel Tasman National Park, the vineyards of Marlborough, and the dramatic coastline of Kaikōura, this tour showcases some of the South Island’s most scenic and less-travelled regions.

Designed for comfort and enjoyment, you’ll ride at a relaxed pace along a carefully selected mix of cycle trails, quiet country roads, and coastal routes, with plenty of opportunities to pause for photographs, local food and wine, wildlife encounters, and time to simply enjoy the surroundings.

Along the way, experience remote coastlines, native forests, vineyard landscapes, welcoming regional towns, and spectacular alpine scenery — all supported by experienced local guides, comfortable accommodation, and seamless logistics throughout.

The Wilderness, Coastlines & Vines tour ideal for confident riders seeking an active but achievable New Zealand experience, combining scenic cycling, authentic regional experiences, and the relaxed pace that defines the northern South Island.
