Description:

For bike enthusiasts and lovers of the outdoors, embark on an adventure along the historic Otago Central Rail Trail with a 3-day cycling tour. Pedal through pastoral landscapes, dramatic gorges, and historic viaducts. Lodging and food options provide you with a taste of local Kiwi hospitality.

On the first day, you're picked up from your hotel and taken to the starting point of the Otago Central Rail Trail where you begin your bike tour.

Hop on your bike and start your cycling adventure on the Otago Central Rail Trail, a route that traces New Zealand's first rail line. Get a sense of history as you ride through a region known for the 1880's gold rush.

Pass bucolic farms and stunning gorges; cycle over wooden trestle bridges and viaducts and stop along the way to take in the fresh air of the New Zealand countryside.

Savor the local produce at breakfast each morning and the Kiwi-style barbecues served for dinner. And perhaps most of all, take time to enjoy the local hospitality.

For the next 2 days, continue your journey along the 97 mile (157 km) back-country trail and soak up this historic and charming region of New Zealand.
