A 6 day bike tour travelling the length of this spectacular part of New Zealand.
The West Coast is New Zealand’s equivalent to the Wild West – a remote strip of spectacular coastline between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea. Famous for its rugged natural beauty, snow-capped mountains and wild black sand beaches. It feels like you’ve slipped back in time to an era of pioneers and gold miners. Biking the West Coast Wilderness Cycle Trail is one of the best ways to experience this magical place.

- Ride the TranzAlpine through the Southern Alps – one of the greatest train rides in the world!
- Experience Te Wahipounamu – UNESCO World Heritage Area with a jet boat safari on the remote Haast river.
- Visit the spectacular Punakaiki Pancake Rocks – one of New Zealand’s most stunning stretches of coastline.
- Includes a visit to the Hokitika Gorge, Shantytown, West Coast Treetops Walkway, and meet New Zealand’s rarest kiwi at the West Coast Wildlife Centre
