West Coast Wilderness Cycle Trail

Stunning West Coast scenery matched the hassle free pre trip organization by office staff, punctual pick ups and clear instructions throughout trip. No pressure schedule with options available. Good food and healthy picnics along with a variety of good accommodation...plus a knowledgeable, professional and friendly Peter as guide. Use an ebike! It adds to the enjoyment.

For the last 15 years or so our group of friends have got together for 4 days to experience a little of New Zealand. This year it was West Coast of the South Island with [the tour operator]. In my opinion our trip with your company will rate as the top adventure I have experienced in that 15 years. The location was great & the weather was amazing but I loved it because of our 2 guides, Wayne & Rob who were our minders, mechanics, hosts & friends. Wayne checked our bikes & ensured that any of our wants & needs were met. In all his dealings with us he had a twinkle in his eyes & a smile on his face. He was gracious. The hero of our trip for me however was Rob. He is gold. His knowledge of the area, his passion, alues, humility, story telling & his love of nature is something I will treasure for years to come. Rob’s enthusiasm is sometimes over the top!!. On the 4th day I am slightly tired as I negotiate a sharp downhill 180 degree turn to the left that then the trail expects me to continue straight up an enormous hill!!. I am hanging on for all my might & manage to only just succeed!! Rob came up behind me on his bike & said. “You are riding like a professional”. I love a liar!!!! Thank you all. It was a blast.

Our West Coast Wilderness ride was an incredible ride. The trails through native beech, ferns and podocarps were beautiful. The bike-specific trails are in fantastic condition. Loved the back-country roads through rural farm country and majestic river valley to Hokitika Gorge. [The tour operator] has created a great 5-day ride to see this part of New Zealand, including additional trails with beautiful lakes & a fun water course ride. Lovely hotels, excellent meals at guide-catered lunches & dinners at resturants. Chris is an excellent guide who kept us in high energy mode and rolling right along. Thanks for a memorable time along the WC trail!

    

The bike trail was much more challenging than imagined, but I did it! It tested my stamina. If I come on another NZ bike adventure, I now know I need to be better prepared with my fitness. It was the most beautiful environment to pass through. Great guides in Baz and Sandra. Fabulous support along the way. Great work Baz working the itinerary around the weather!

Achievable day mileage. Fantastic bikes - well maintained. Great tour guides. Awesome scenery. Our two tour guides - Sandra & Baz were amazing. Snow on the mountains, beautiful scenery and fantastic trails. Don't be intimidated by the trails/roads. They are all in fantastic condition - the scenery is well worth the trip. Beautiful locations.
