Adventure South NZ provided our little group with a Fabulous Guide (Kim) and a wonderful tapestry of experiences in both the North and South Islands.

As a novice rider I was made to feel very comfortable and at ease of riding trails that I had not ever experienced before. The guides were very supportive at all times. The trails ridden had different landscapes and the scenery was beautiful.

If you are planning a trip to New Zealand, you have already made a great decision! And if you have chosen Adventure South, you are sure to have the trip of a lifetime! AS created a "bespoke" tour for our group of seven, handling every detail seamlessly: logistics, hotels, restaurants and excursions -- wrapping up everything in a beautifully curated package. On top of that package was the "bow" of Robyn Marchant, our extraordinary guide and driver who knows New Zealand like the back of her hand having explored every corner by bicycle. Robyn was a wealth of information, readily answering all our questions, offering suggestions and tending to our every need. By the end of our trip, she truly felt like the eighth member of our family! Thank you Robyn and Adventure South for OUR trip of a lifetime!

An amazing adventure that exceeded our expectations! Sue & Annie were our tour guides and are simply the best. Their passion, knowledge and professionalism made for a fantastic time. The quality of bikes, helmets etc, top notch. Accommodation and meals, great! The tour itself Rotorua to Wellington, stunning, breath taking, beautiful, I love NZ! We look forward to rebooking one day... Adventure South NZ highly recommend!
