Beach to Beech, Wine and Whales (cycling)

Enjoy a range of experiences including an optional whale watch excursion at Kaikoura – a chance to observe mighty sperm whales against a backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges and an ocean teeming with other marine life like dolphins, seals and seabirds. Visit Marlborough, a region of world class wines and discover Nelson, a town famed for its arts and crafts. Explore the mountainous backbone of New Zealand’s scenic South Island with its stunning lakes and forests.

This is soft adventure – soft because you can expect to enjoy comfortable, characterful accommodation, innovative meals and the chance to taste some of New Zealand’s fine wines and soak it all off in steaming thermal pools. And remember that with a back up vehicle at hand, you can drive the up-hills and in-betweens, leaving you to enjoy the best of the cycling and scenery.
