A TRAIL OF MEMORIES TO CREATE
Did you know the South Island holds some of the best cycle trails in the world?
The sheer contrast of the West Coast Wilderness Trail and Alps 2 Ocean is undeniable. From the rugged landscapes and untamed natural wilderness of the West Coast to the majestic Mount Cook and the vast tussock lands of the Mackenzie, Cycle Journeys holds the key to the gateway for your next outdoor experience.
Get on your bike!
SPOILT FOR CHOICE
Two of the top five cycle trails in our country are both less than four hours from Christchurch! The West Coast Wilderness Trail and Alps 2 Ocean trail are ideal options for a long weekend taster. Are you feeling a little more adventurous? Experience ‘the full monty’ and make it your mission to take your chosen trail from end to end! There are packages that will suit all.
A TRAIL OF COMMUNITIES
One of the benefits of the trails is the revitalisation of the rural towns. The increase in patronage in somewhat isolated small towns means Cycle Journeys helps open
up new opportunities for communities that are along the way. Not only do Kiwis and visitors see our country, but they also get a taste of Kiwi hospitality and connect with the communities in a whole new way.
SLEEP TIGHT
Cycle Journeys has made sure there are options for accommodation that suit all budgets: from the sublime and luxe to the no- nonsense economy offerings, and everything in between. The great thing is all accommodation options on offer have an ensuite, and private bathrooms. It’s a true-blue Aotearoa experience, with Kiwis hosting Kiwis, and you can be assured you’ll be comfy at every stop.
THE FUTURE IS NOW!
E-bikes will have you cycling into the future in no time. With a focus on ‘enjoying, rather than enduring’, you’ll be confident you can complete your chosen trail without risk of injury or over-excursion. Have you got your own e-bike? Bring it along or talk to the team about hiring one of their top-of- the-line offerings. Bring on that sense of accomplishment!
YOUR MUM; THEIR CUSTOMER
The Great Rides trails were founded thanks to self-proclaimed ‘unabashed baby boomers’ exploring our country! There’s been everything from friends on birthday celebration trails, stag parties, work ‘dos, and even multi-generational family trips heading out for an experience like no other. The trails are well kept, and well used, meaning there are never any nasty surprises. Bottom line? Mum is going to love it.
THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM
The team at Cycle Journeys are there for you when, or if you end up needing them. Over the past nine years they’ve prided themselves on offering seamless support and service, and coupled with their varied and extensive knowledge, you’re sure to be in good hands. Forget about balancing your overnight bags on the handles of your bike – the team can shuttle your bags (and you!) along their trails for you.
