Cycle from the Southern Alps to the ocean over 11 days of wild, dramatic backdrops. Quiet country roads, spectacular glaciers, rugged coastlines, rolling hills—it’s all here and within reach. New Zealand boasts an amazing variety of landscapes and equally amazing culture. This adventure offers the perfect opportunity to experience the country’s remarkable landscapes and laid-back lifestyle. Our cycle tour takes us from the Alps to the Pacific Ocean. We begin on a high note near Mt. Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak, and head to the historic port city of Oamaru on the best sections of the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle trail. Together, we move past the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps, turquoise glacier-fed lakes and lush pastures dotted with sheep. Pedal inland through rolling hills and vineyards on New Zealand's original "Great Ride", the Otago Central Rail Trail. As the name suggests, this ride—much like this trip—is too great to be missed.
