Our Road Cycling tours allow you to do some great bicycling, with tours ranging from 5 to 9 days. On some tours we follow the philosophy of "Cycling the Best and Driving the Rest," as there are days when it is not possible to cycle the whole route between lodgings. For these tours guides can adapt the daily schedule to allow strong riders to cover more ground, while by using the support vehicle, more relaxed cyclists get to average from 50 – 70 kms plus (30 - 45 miles) daily. see our road cycling tours ...

We also offer tours where strong riders can challenge themselves by cycling “inn to inn” each day. Apart from exiting the cities, it is possible to ride the whole route from start to finish. Daily distances range from from 80 - 120 kms plus. ( 50 - 75 miles), but recreational cyclists can still enjoy these tours, as the support vehicle is used to transport riders to the best cycling sections. For details on tour categories please visit our Tour Gradings page. see our road cycling tours ...

Our two Mountain Biking tours are aimed at mid-range riders and those looking for a challenge and wanting to up-skill. Single track riding mixes with gravel roads and 4WD tracks to access rides. In many cases an opportunity exists to do more km's as a pre or post ride. Participants should expect to ride 4-6 hours per day with opportunities for skills workshops during the trip. see our mountain biking tours...
Our two Cycle Trails, the Alps to Ocean and Molesworth High Country tours are more challenging than the Otago Rail Trail, but still offer the benefits of an easy cycling terrain in a beautiful natural environment. Combining quiet road cycling with easy off-road trails, the Alps to Ocean takes you on a "mountains to sea" mainly downhill experience, while the Molesworth tour offers some optional hill climbing as the route passes through remote backcountry & vineyards.
Our five Rail Trail tours travel through historic and scenic countryside on cycle trails based on disused railway corridors. With easy gradient cycling, character lodgings these tours are suitable for all level of cyclists. Based in the spectacular Maniototo region The Otago Rail Trail Classic is a journey into New Zealand's past.
