Beach to Beech, Wine & Whales

Christchurch to Christchurch (6 days)

This tour incorporates the best of the northern regions of the South Island on an exciting circular route, designed for recreational cyclists – in other words, for those who are willing, if not experienced.

We take you to Kaikoura, where you can opt for a whale watch – a chance to observe mighty sperm whales to a backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges and an ocean teeming with other marine life like dolphins, seals and seabirds. We take you to a region of world class wines, to Nelson, a town famed for its arts and crafts and through the mountainous backbone of New Zealand’s scenic South Island, its stunning lakes and forests.

This is soft adventure – soft because we expect you to also enjoy the other good things in life, like comfortable, characterful accommodation, innovative meals and the chance to taste some of New Zealand’s fine wines and soak it all off in steaming thermal pools. And remember that with our back up vehicle at hand, we drive the up-hills and in-betweens, leaving you to enjoy the best of the cycling and scenery.
