This tour is based on the best parts of two of our longer tours  and has been designed for cyclists wanting a short tour which gives them the opportunity to experience some of the South Island's best scenery from the seat of a bike.

Day 1 We shuttle out of town, past the Waipara vineyards, and cycle through dry rolling east coast sheep country. We promise you will see sheep today, lots and lots of them. After a 60km ride you deserve a well earned rest as we transfer to Hanmer for the night.

Day 2 This morning the beautiful beech forests of the Lewis Pass beckon. By minivan we gradually climb to the top of Lewis, and then cycle 65km Lewis Pass to Reefton for the night.

Day 3 It's downhill all the way to first Inangahua Junction, then Westport, and finally to Cape Foulwind for a night of local hospitality.

Day 4 Coastal views are one of the many highlights as we head south to the famous Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki, for lunch, and onward to Oak Lodge near Greymouth for the night.

Day 5 Riding out of the Grey Valley we pass old coal mining towns before heading east towards isolated Lake Brunner and Arthur's Pass. Today's ride ends where our quiet back road meets the main road at Jacksons, then it is up and over the hill to Christchurch. Our final dinner is in Christchurch, back where we started. You will have challenged yourself, met new friends, and along the way seen the real New Zealand, that's what it's all about.

Day 6, The tour finishes after breakfast. We can arrange transfers, or even another tour!
