Explore the Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail end to end from the mighty Aoraki/Mt Cook to the Pacific Ocean on a guided trip along NZ’s most popular Cycle Trail.

Highlights

Our journey begins with a heli flight across the Tasman river before cycling through the vast tussock lands of the Mackenzie Country, along the braided rivers and vineyards of the Waitaki Valley, all the way to the white stone township of Oamaru. A highlight of this trip is the hand picked accommodation where we stay at a mix of lodges, premium backcountry farmstays, motels and luxurious glamping tents.
