Explore some of the South Island’s most spectacular landscapes by bike on our fully guided and supported Alps to Ocean Cycle Challenge. From Tekapo, we head through the golden Mackenzie Country on canal paths to Lake Pukaki and the mountainous landscape around Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. From Twizel, the trail follows ancient pathways through the Waitaki Valley where you’ll be wowed by stunning lakes, fascinating hydro dams and picturesque vineyards. Our journey through rolling countryside leads down to the historic port town of Oamaru on the Pacific Ocean. Our expert guides will show you the best trailside highlights including wine-tasting, hot pools, Maori rock art and otherworldly limestone outcrops. Experience warm, southern hospitality, heritage charm, fabulous local produce and producers, and support the Epworth Foundation.
