New Zealand Bike Tours - Experience The Cycling Holiday of a Lifetime

By Scott Souness


If your dream vacation involves getting up close and personal with nature, exploring a vast unspoiled country or experiencing the outdoor adventure of a lifetime, then you will love going on a New Zealand bike tour.

An island nation situated between Australia and Antarctica, New Zealand is one of the few first world countries on Earth that has been untouched by the ravages of pollution and mass industrialization. Much of the country is a vast wilderness of open farmland, rolling hills, pristine lakes, majestic glaciers and towering snow-capped mountains.

Cycling holidays of this huge and challenging terrain are the bread and butter of Active New Zealand Cycle Tours, who have been in business for more than 15 years. Active New Zealand has given more than 13,000 people the adventure of a lifetime by taking them on biking tours of the New Zealand countryside.

A cycle tour of the countryside with Active New Zealand includes accommodation, food, bikes, cycling equipment, guides and more. A number of different tour packages are available to make sure that everyone is catered to regardless of fitness or cycling ability. If you're not happy with any of the set tours you can create your own biking holiday from the ground up! The team at Active New Zealand Cycle Tours is more than happy to help clients create their dream cycling holiday.

Cycling tours are available in both the North and South Islands. Of the two, the unique geography and climate of the South Island makes it the more popular destination. Here are three South Island cycling tours available from Active New Zealand:

Deep South Ride - This 2 week tour puts you up close and personal with the unparalleled scenic beauty of New Zealand's South Island. One of Active New Zealand's more challenging tours, The Deep South Ride begins in Christchurch and heads west through Arthur's Pass along the rugged west coast. Here you will bike through the majestic Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers as you make your way to Wanaka. From Wanaka the scenic Crown Range road brings you to Queenstown. After a couple days relaxing in the adventure capital of the world the tour goes on through the calm beauty of Lake Tekapo before heading back to Christchurch.

The Zone - the perfect way to spend a week on the South Island, The Zone gives you the quintessential Kiwi experience in just 8 days. Starting from Christchurch, the tour goes all the way down to Queenstown cutting across the Southern Alps. Stopovers include Arthur's Pass, Hokitika (famous for its Greenstones), Franz Josef Glacier, Lake Wanaka and the Crown Range. Great for nature lovers!

Weka - Experience the joys and challenges of off-road and on-road biking in this 13 day trip. The mixed terrain Weka tour takes you on a complete circuit of the South Island, starting at Christchurch and stopping over at Queenstown before concluding in Milford Sound. Areas of interest include Hanmer Springs, Lewis Pass, the Mt. Nicholas station roads, and the Central Otago Rail Trail.
