Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Tour

The Alps 2 Ocean is the ultimate New Zealand cycle trail: a 312km journey of changing South Island landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to the Pacific Ocean. On this 6 day cycle tour adventure, you’ll see some of the best scenery and landscapes the South Island has to offer. As well as bike rides, you’ll enjoy iconic NZ experiences including a helicopter flight, outdoor hot pools and wine tasting at a renowned local vineyard. We like to keep our cycle tours as smaller groups to provide the best overall experience combined with our top level of service. We provide a fully-supported trip with an experienced tour guide providing vehicle support throughout and a support rider at the back of the group on the more remote and challenging sections of trail.
