From Christchurch to Middle Earth and Back Again – New Zealand Bike Tours

Have the adventure holiday of a lifetime by taking a cycling tour of New Zealand’s outback. An extended bike tour is the perfect way to experience the unspoiled natural beauty New Zealand has to offer.

A ruggedly beautiful and unspoiled land, New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere in relative isolation from other land masses. Largely undeveloped and home to more sheep than people, New Zealand has some of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, unsullied by mass urbanization or industrialization.

A cycling tour across this vast and uncompromising land is the ultimate holiday adventure for any avid cyclist or lover of the great outdoors. Active New Zealand Cycle Tours has been in business for over 15 years and have given more than 13,000 very satisfied customers the cycling holidays of their lifetimes.

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.
