 Join us as we step back in time and ride the Central Otago Rail Trail. With more time to enjoy each day and soak up the atmosphere the Rail Trail Explorer is a great way to check out what all the hype is about without any of the pressure! The route follows the old Maniototo rail line from Clyde in central Otago, to Middlemarch. Our Otago Central Rail Trail cycling tour includes one of the worlds great train trips as we travel on the spectacular Taieri Gorge railway into Dunedin. Fully supported all the way with no accommodation or luggage worries!
