Cycle the length of New Zealand in six weeks. Fully supported off road bike tour from Cape Reinga, North Island to Bluff, South Island. Based on the Tour Aotearoa route. All accommodation and logistics sorted for you. This small group cycle tour follows a 2,950km route which uses off road New Zealand cycle trails. It goes all the way from Cape Reinga, at the top of North Island, to Bluff at the bottom of South Island. You'll use pedal power alone – except for the help of a couple of ferries. New Zealand's cycle trails have breathed new life into its rural areas. Cycle tourism is replacing logging as the major industry in some areas, and the cycle trails provide access for conservation projects and tree planting projects all around the country. Enjoy these routes knowing that they're doing good, too. This trip is fully supported, which means that a vehicle – the trusty 'sag wagon' – will follow you wherever possible so you can ride in the back with your bike if you need a break. The support team will set up a 'floating' picnic lunch for you, so you can fuel up on the route, and provide mechanical support – so you can focus on the journey. All accommodation, whether it's in motels and hotels, lodges – even holiday park cabins – is sorted for you before you go. You could also choose to cycle down North Island (1,590 km), or just South Island (1,410km) instead – both fully contained, impressive adventures in themselves.
