Cycling 

If you want to truly immerse yourself in the landscapes and magnificent scenery of New Zealand then there is no better way to do it than from the saddle of a cycle. When you’re riding, every corner has another view, another stop, another photo. The most ordinary place becomes special when you stop and talk to the people. You can go anywhere in the country. From the balmy climes of the sub-tropical north to the more refreshing lands of Southland, the well-maintained roads will take you there.

You don’t need to bring your own bike. You can rent your cycle from a bike hire operator or cycle shop. There are guided cycle tours if you want to travel with company and have your gear carried between stops. Everything is taken care of; your accommodation, your cycle and your safety gear. Tours can be anything from a few days to a few weeks.

With New Zealand’s rugged landscape, mountain biking has also become a very popular pursuit. There are hundreds of mountain bike rides and trails throughout the country where you get the thrill, the adventure and the magnificent scenery.
