» New Zealand » Paradise Plus 19 Day North and South Island Bicycle Tour
New Zealand is sparsely populated, with little more than 4 million people. Its roads are generally quiet and the scenery spectacular; a combination which makes it a perfect cycling destination. It is through this constantly changing, uncluttered countryside that you will cycle, your senses invigorated by the sights and sounds of your surroundings. A combined bus and cycle tour ensures that you can cycle the highlights of both Islands in a relatively short time. You will cycle approximately 850 km, however you are always welcome to ride in the support vehicle whenever you feel the need. Experience has taught us that it's best not to overdo the first couple of days. Stop when you feel you have done enough, over doing those first few days could spoil your holiday! 19 day Road Cycling Tour from Auckland to Christchurch Day 1 Arrive in Auckland and sightseeing Day 2 Auckland - Whitianga: 251km, 52km biking Clevedon - Miranda Day 3 Freeday in Whitianga: Visit Hot Water Beach, kayaking ...
