New Zealand's best South Island trails in one unforgettable 14-day adventure

Experience the best of New Zealand's iconic trails:

Over 14 unforgettable days, you’ll ride a greatest-hits collection of the South Island’s most scenic trails and bike paths. You’ll tackle iconic routes like the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail, the Central Otago Rail Trail, and the Queenstown Trails, plus a few locals’ favorites that feel like you’ve been let in on a secret, including the West Coast Wilderness Trail and the Hawea River Track. One day it’s turquoise lakes and snowcapped peaks. The next it’s golden valleys, vineyard country, and rainforest greens that feel a world away. This is authentic Kiwi gravel riding, served up with incredible variety.

Because not every jaw-dropping landscape is best seen from the saddle, you’ll mix in two of the South Island’s classic walks. Stretch your legs on the Routeburn Track and explore trails in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, then slow things down even more with a cruise through legendary Milford Sound.

Terrain and who this tour is for:

You’ll ride a mix of well-formed gravel trails and firm path surfaces, with sections of natural, uneven terrain. At times the trail becomes rougher under tire, adding a bit of challenge and adventure. This tour is best suited to riders comfortable on varied terrain, and you’ll feel right at home if you enjoy the extra texture that comes with true South Island gravel.

It’s the kind of journey that feels complete. You get the scenery you came for, the satisfying miles you’ll remember, and that deep sense you’ve really gotten to know New Zealand, one beautiful day at a time.

Most people leave the Northern Hemisphere on a Friday evening, arriving in Auckland early Sunday morning. You’ll lose a day crossing the dateline – but you get it back on the way home! It’s a short flight from Auckland to Christchurch on the South Island where we’ll meet you. Christchurch, New Zealand’s second-largest city, is framed by the Canterbury Plains and the Southern Alps to the West and the Pacific Ocean and Banks Peninsula to the East.

After fitting our bikes we’ll take a warm-up ride at McLeans Island. Depending on where you’re coming from, you’ll probably find jetlag is no big deal – for instance, it’s a 12 to 13-hour direct overnight flight from Los Angeles to Auckland, and there’s only a 3-hour time difference between New Zealand and US Pacific time. If you’re coming from further afield, you’ll appreciate the gentle start to your New Zealand adventure. 
Accommodation: Merivale Manor or Scenic Hotel Cotswold, Christchurch
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 15 miles (24 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 537 feet (163 meters) ascent, 536 feet (163 meters) descent
Notes: Predominantly even terrain with occasional gentle slopes. No van support. 

This morning we’ll head west to Kuru Tawhiti Conservation Area in the heart of the Southern Alps. We’ll take a gentle one-hour walk among the imposing limestone tors of Castle Hill, which were once a meeting place for moa hunters of the Ngai Tahu tribe. The Dalai Lama visited this area and described it as a "spiritual center of the universe". Afterward, we’ll continue on to the West Coast via Arthur’s Pass, one of New Zealand’s impressive alpine passes - look out for the Otira Viaduct.

After lunch, we’ll take an afternoon ride on a section of the West Coast Wilderness trail from Greymouth to Taramakau and then it’s a short drive back down to Kumara. Once an old bustling gold mining town, Kumara is one of the many West Coast towns given a new lease of life by the opening of the West Coast Wilderness Trail cycleway In November 2013.

We’ll spend the night here, enjoying dinner at the local pub. 
Accommodation: Theatre Royal Hotel, Kumara
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 12 or 18.6 miles (19 or 30 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 607 feet (185 meters), 349 feet (106 meters) descent
Notes: Flat, smooth, level terrain. Vehicle support is available throughout today’s ride. 

We’ll start of our next ride along another section of the West Coast Wilderness Trail. This trail offers contrasting cycling along water races, tramways and railway lines and through dense, lush rainforest. Beginning in Kumara, passing by the Kapitea Reservoir, we’ll head inland towards the Great Southern Divide and the raging Arahura River.

We’ll find a nice spot for a picnic lunch before continuing along the trail back towards the Tasman Sea and Lake Kaniere. The bike ride today will get your heart pumping and your excitement levels rising, in anticipation of all the trails you’re soon to experience.

Later we’ll continue down to Franz Josef, nestled in the rainforest-clad foothills of the Southern Alps, where we’ll stay for the next couple of nights. 
Accommodation: Rainforest Retreat, Franz Josef
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 10.1 or 30.6 miles (16 or 49 kilometers)

Notes: Today’s ride is hilly, characterized by frequent and steeper inclines. Vehicle support is available at the 22-mile (36-kilometer) point in Milltown.

With some 140 glaciers making their way down from the Southern Alps, this area is fittingly known as glacier country. Few sights equal the spectacle of this giant frozen river (Franz Josef Glacier) imperceptibly grinding its way down through the temperate rainforest to just 820 feet (250 meters) above sea level. We’ll spend most of the day near Franz Josef Glacier hiking up through the forest to incredible views of the ice. Wet weather can inhibit these hikes, so we may opt to hike the Tatare tunnels instead.

After settling into our accommodation back in Franz Josef township, spend some time in the hot tub and enjoy dinner in town on your own.
Accommodation: Rainforest Retreat, Franz Josef
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Franz Josef Glacier Terminal Face Hike: 3 miles (4.8 kilometers), 2-3 hours

This morning, we’ll travel down the coast through lush forest, visiting historic Ship Creek to explore the Kahikatea forest, providing a glimpse back in time to what the West Coast may have looked like prior to human settlement. Continuing south, we’ll head inland across Haast Pass toward Wanaka, stopping along the way for a short track walk through kāmahi and silver beech forest to a viewing platform above the Haast River with views of the spectacular Thunder Creek Falls, 91 feet (28 meters) above on the other side.

After lunch, we’ll jump back on the bikes and ride the Hawea River Track, linking Lake Hawea township to Wanaka, via Albert Town. This is a nice, gentle ride with uninterrupted views of the clear Hawea River.
Accommodation: Edgewater Resort, Wanaka or Holiday Inn Express, Queenstown
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 16.1 miles (26 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 466 feet (142 meters), 669 feet (204 meters) descent

From Wanaka, it’s a short but dramatic journey over the Cardrona Saddle to the Gibbston Valley, an area best known for producing worldclass grapes. You’ll be amazed by the vistas riding along the Gibbston River Trail - with the Kawarau River far below, impressive suspension bridges and iconic Central Otago landscapes. You’ll also pass through a rare pre-1900 fruit orchard and rock huts left over from the gold rush. Along the way, there are plenty of award-winning wineries to stop at and sample a drop if you’d like.

We’ll have lunch in Arrowtown before continuing along the trails to Queenstown, with incredible views of the Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu. 
Accommodation: Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Queenstown
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand (if not the world!) and all the comforts of civilization are packed into this tiny resort town: restaurants galore, stylish lounge bars, day spas, and boutiques. You’ll also find incredible optional activities here including horse trekking, a gondola, fishing, winery tours, bungy jumping, jet boating and skydiving as well as some great hiking opportunities. Or you can just soak up the atmosphere at one of many local cafés.

Your guides will happily share their favorite haunts and point you in the right direction for your free day today. 
Accommodation: Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Queenstown
Meals: Breakfast

This morning, we’ll cross Lake Wakatipu on a barge to Walter Peak Station. Here, you’ll follow Mt. Nicholas farm road to the isolated Mavora Lakes. You’ll bike alongside the lake before heading gently up through the headwaters of the Von River, surrounded by the Livingston Mountains. This is a true wilderness cycling experience on a quiet back road, and after your time in Queenstown, you’ll appreciate the peaceful surroundings!

From Mavora Lakes, we’ll take a scenic drive through to Te Anau, our base for the next couple of nights. 
Accommodation: Matai Lodge or Distinction Luxmore Hotel, Te Anau
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Cruise: 30 minutes

Biking: 32.7 miles (52 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 2,263 feet (689 meters), 1,235 feet (376 meters) descent
Notes: Today’s ride is hilly, characterized by frequent and steeper inclines. This ride takes place along a remote backcountry road with no vehicle access.

It’s worth the early start this morning as we set off for our largest and perhaps most spectacular national park, Fiordland. When we arrive, we’ll be greeted with jaw-dropping views of Mitre Peak and the surrounding jagged granite peaks – quite possibly the most picturesque mountain range in New Zealand – though we’ll let you be the judge of that!
 
We'll take a short boat ride across Milford Sound to hike from Sandfly Point to the Giant Gates waterfall, a spectacular section of the famed Milford Track. The forest here is lush and rich with mosses and ferns as we follow the Arthur River past Lake Ada. By hiking from the Milford Sound trailhead, you'll enjoy the majestic backdrop of the surrounding peaks.
 
Once we return to the Milford wharf, we’ll board a boat for a two-hour nature cruise to the head of this spectacular fiord. Later we'll head back to Te Anau enjoying the stunning native forest and mountain views along the way.
Accommodation: Matai Lodge or Distinction Luxmore Hotel, Te Anau
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Cruise: 2 hours

Hiking: 6 miles (10 kilometers), 3-4 hours
Elevation Gain/Loss: 985 feet (300 meters) ascent, 985 feet (300 meters) descent

Today we’ll head east from Te Anau right into the heart of the Maniototo region in Central Otago. The trail here follows an old train line built in the early 1900s. The tracks were retired and removed in 1990 and now the Central Otago Rail Trail is one of the most iconic cycling trails in New Zealand. We’ll cross numerous bridges and viaducts, winding our way along the smooth track past Raggedy Range and Rough Ridge. We have a gradual climb through the Ida Valley, and once at the summit of the trail, it’s a slight downhill all the way into Ranfurly, a small town famous for its Art Deco architecture and warm and welcoming community. 
Accommodation: Hawkdun Lodge, Ranfurly
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 12.7, 21.5 or 29.6 miles (20, 34 or 48 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 1,340 feet (408 meters), 1,020 feet (310 meters) descent
Notes: Today’s ride is on rolling terrain characterized by periodic, gentle hills and declines. Vehicle support is available at several points along the ride.

This morning we’ll journey to the East Coast, stopping for a break at Moeraki and visiting the famous Moeraki Boulders, before continuing up the Waitaki Valley where we’ll jump on our bikes to ride alongside Lake Aviemore. We’ll bike along to Benmore Hydro Dam where the trail winds its way around the Ahuriri arm of Lake Benmore with views over the Benmore Dam. Well hidden from the highway, we’ll be on a single track and finish up at Sailors Cutting.

Tonight we’ll stay at the remote and beautiful Lake Ohau Lodge. The lodge is tucked in beside an alpine lake, with incredible views stretching across to Aoraki/Mt. Cook and the Southern Alps – the ideal spot to rejuvenate the body and soak in the hot tub while gazing at the stars! 
Accommodation: Lake Ohau Lodge, Ohau
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 14.5, 24.7 or 32.7 miles (23, 40 or 52 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 2,030 feet (618 meters), 1,519 feet (463 meters) descent
Notes: Today’s ride is hilly, characterized by frequent and steeper inclines. Vehicle support is available during the first 23 kilometers of the ride. Vehicle support is unavailable for the final 17 kilometers.

Today is our last day on two wheels, so we’ll make it extra special with a ride that’ll knock your socks off! We’ll set off around Lake Ohau and then alongside the Ohau Canal to Twizel. From Twizel, the dramatic scenery steps up a notch with the shimmering cobalt-blue Lake Pukaki on the left, and Aoraki/Mt. Cook straight ahead. Along this section of the trail, you’ll also pass a range of native plants including Kowhai (with brilliant yellow flowers, popular with endemic Tui birds), flax and tussocks.

Tonight we’ll spend the night in the Mackenzie Country basin, with stunning views stretching across the Southern Alps. The area is known for the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, with light pollution strictly controlled, so it’s the ideal spot to stargaze! 
Accommodation: Distinction MacKenzie Country Hotel, Twizel or Mt Cook Lodge & Motels, Aoraki
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Biking: 23.6 or 35.8 miles (38 or 57 kilometers)
Elevation Gain/Loss: 1,217 feet (370 meters), 1,244 feet (379 meters) descent
Notes: Today’s ride is characterized by predominantly flat terrain with occasional gentle slopes. Vehicle support is available at several points along the ride. (5-6 hours)

A short distance away is Mt. Cook, named Aoraki or ‘cloud piercer’ by South Island Maori, the highest mountain in New Zealand. Directly opposite Aoraki/Mt. Cook, there’s a stunning day hike to the main ridge above Mueller Glacier. This area has a unique alpine environment and includes endemic flora such as the Mt. Cook lily (Ranunculus lyallii), the world’s largest buttercup. Our travelers often say this is the best hike they’ve ever done and it’s a fine way to finish off a great trip. It’s a bit of a hike, and you’ll remember the view of the glacier and the surrounding peaks forever! The weather conditions are very important in this area, as it’s a true alpine climate notorious for sudden weather shifts.

If we aren’t able to do the Sealy Tarns Hike, or you’d like to take it a little easier, there’s an impressive hike up to a glacial lake (complete with icebergs!) at the base of the Hooker Glacier.

After hiking, we’ll relax at our lodge and have a celebratory dinner for our last night together. 
Accommodation: Mt Cook Lodge & Motels, Mt Cook or Distinction MacKenzie Country Hotel, Twizel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Sealy Tarns Hike: 3.2 miles (5.1 kilometers), 4-5 hours

Elevation Gain/Loss: 328 feet (100 meters) ascent, 328 feet (100 meters) descent

This is the last day of your trip and we'll drive back to Christchurch, with airport and central drop-offs. We’ll leave you refreshed and invigorated from the good food, exercise, rest, and great times you’ll have had with us in New Zealand! 
Accommodation: Not applicable
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Frequently Asked Questions

We know you might have a few questions before you book. Our frequently asked questions cover everything you need to know to feel ready for the ride.

On the first morning of the tour, please meet us outside reception at the Merivale Manor at 10am, our designated departure point for all guests. You're welcome to book your pre-tour stay at this hotel or any other hotel in Christchurch, though you'll need to make your own way to the Merivale Manor by the designated time. Come prepared with your riding attire and an accessible daypack with your essentials.

Your tour ends with a drop-off at either the Christchurch Airport (CHC) in time for flights departing after 4pm or anywhere in Central Christchurch around 3pm.

Arrival: We recommend arriving in Christchurch the day before your tour begins, or earlier, to accommodate potential flight delays and give you time to explore the city.

Departure: Flying out on the last day, we recommend departing from Christchurch after 4pm for domestic flights and 5pm for international departures. Earlier flight times will require a separate transfer booked at your own expense.

We've carefully selected accommodations for their stunning settings and adventurous feel. You'll stay in a wonderful variety of places — charming B&Bs, cozy lodges, and some more remote locations that put you right in the heart of New Zealand's backcountry. This isn't a tour of the fanciest hotels, but rather accommodations chosen to enhance your experience of the landscape and local character.

Some places have ensuite bathrooms while others have shared facilities. Occasionally, for operational reasons, we may stay somewhere different, which will always be a similar standard and just as comfortable.

While laundry facilities are available at most locations, they may not always be convenient or there may be limited machines for the group. We recommend bringing enough clothing to do laundry once or twice during your tour. The best opportunity is during your two-night stay in Queenstown on your free day.

This is a gravel trail adventure through some of New Zealand's most legendary off-road cycling. You'll be riding predominantly compact gravel and packed dirt surfaces, with well-formed trails wide enough for two riders for much of the route. The trail does include occasional rougher patches, chunkier sections, and more technical terrain — your guides will brief you ahead of these so you know what to expect. At times the trail becomes rougher under tire, adding a bit of challenge and adventure to an already stunning ride. Some sections also cross quiet country roads.

New Zealand has an incredible off-road trail network, and this itinerary takes you onto the best parts of it — purpose-built cycle trails, old railway lines converted to paths, and scenic routes through farmland, forests, and along alpine lakes.

Standard bikes are included, and e-bikes are available for those who want an extra boost on the hills. Daily distances vary with options to adjust based on your energy and interest. Best suited to riders comfortable on varied and sometimes uneven terrain, this tour is authentic Kiwi trail riding at its finest — with full support every step of the way.

Surfaces for this tour: 88% Gravel and 12% Paved.
