Coastal Classic Cycle
The Coastal Classic is a great self-guided cycle tour suitable for families with keen and confident junior cyclists, or anyone looking for a leisurely paced scenic tour. Priced as a 3-day tour, there are options to extend the trip to a 4-day tour by choosing to stay longer in the charming coastal village of Mapua or by adding an extra night onto the end of the tour and perhaps exploring glorious Abel Tasman National Park.

Following our successful cycle trip last year with the [tour operator] we decided to repeat the fabulous 3 day-Coastal Classic bike trip from Stoke to Kaiteriteri. Again, very good communication by email and phone ahead of our personalised trip. Prompt pick-up from our accommodation on our first day and extensive and clear briefing at the company’s depot. Appreciated the company’s creative detours following the cyclone damage a few weeks before. Luggage in our rooms every time at arrival. An unusual problem with one of the bike chains mid-tour was resolved within an hour with a bike exchange. Thanks Rose! Wilson boat trip into the Abel Tasman organized by the company too, including complimentary lite picnic. Prompt pick up from Kaiteriteri by cheerful Dutch team member. Would highly recommend the company to family and friends. Excellent experience.
Really enjoyed a 3 day trip from Nelson to Kaiteriteri, with a trip into Abel Tasman at the end. The organization was made easy by using [the tour operator] being picked up and returned to the airport. Lovely people to deal with. Enjoyed cycling through the orchards and estuaries and…
Really enjoyed a 3 day trip from Nelson to Kaiteriteri, with a trip into Abel Tasman at the end. The organization was made easy by using [the tour operator] being picked up and returned to the airport. Lovely people to deal with. Enjoyed cycling through the orchards and estuaries and along the beautiful long beaches and also the food and environment at Riverside cafe and at Mapua. The hill on the middle day was a challenge but had a good view at the top.
Kathy and I had a wonderful time, thanks. The rides were most enjoyable and the accommodation was great. Transfers easy and seamless. All your people were most helpful and friendly. I'm sure we'll be back to do more rides.
We had a fantastic trip. The [tour operator] are a standout, lovely people and super efficient and caring. They checked in with us via text each day and picked us up on time, every time. The maps were great and detailed, the bikes were excellent and in good condition, the…
We had a fantastic trip. The [tour operator] are a standout, lovely people and super efficient and caring. They checked in with us via text each day and picked us up on time, every time. The maps were great and detailed, the bikes were excellent and in good condition, the panniers really great quality and size. And it was no problem for them to fit the special bike seat I brought from home. Chris also chatted to us about the area's history etc, each time he picked us up in the van, which was very informative.
The accommodation and food was so good. Mapua was our favorite, such beautiful accommodation right on the water, a few steps from getting off the ferry. And great restaurants both nights. And the Rima wine bar.. wow, I've never had a 'Tasting Tree' in all my wine travels, super impressive wine bar and selection of wines, and we also had a cheese and meats platter that they were only too happy to add things too that we asked for.
(Note: the guests did a customized 6 day version of the tour)
