Attention road bikers: You have the option to cycle up to 100 km+ (60 miles+) each day

Experience the scenic ‘Jewels’ of the South Island on a tour starting and finishing in Christchurch and taking you via Queenstown and the rugged West Coast. You can choose from rides between 60 km (40 miles) and 100 km+ (60 miles+) each day. Just pick what suits you!

From Christchurch you drive to the foot of the Southern Alps, where the cycling starts gently with a ride through the open beauty of the Canterbury Plains. On quiet backroads, you continue through rolling farmland which gradually opens up into the expansive Mackenzie Basin. From Tekapo, travel past sparkling lakes and turquoise canals, while admiring breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains and the golden tussock grasslands of the Lindis Pass area. Pass though historic goldmining towns before arriving in Queenstown, the outdoor Adventure Capital of New Zealand.

From Queenstown you travel through the ‘High Country’ and alongside Lakes Hawea and Wanaka. You continue to the West Coast and can’t help noticing how the landscape dramatically changes from relatively barren hills to the dense rainforest of the Te Waipounamu World Heritage Area. There is the opportunity to visit the face of Fox or Franz Josef Glaciers, explore the special charm of West Coast gold rush towns, visit a jade (pounamu) factory, and take a walk on the wild West Coast beaches at sunset. Your tour concludes with a beautiful bike ride alongside Lake Brunner followed by an unforgettable road trip. You will traverse the scenic splendour of the Southern Alps back to Christchurch.
