Itinerario

Explora lo mejor de Nelson, Tasmania y Marlborough, en lo alto de la Isla Sur, en las vacaciones definitivas en bicicleta, a pie y en velero. Esta región es famosa por sus impresionantes paisajes naturales, con largas playas doradas, bosques vírgenes y montañas escarpadas, y también presume de ser la parte más soleada del país. Recorre en bicicleta la ruta Great Taste Trail de Nelson, navega en catamarán por el famoso Parque Nacional Abel Tasman y camina por exuberantes bosques autóctonos en la ruta Queen Charlotte. Descubre la magia de Marlborough Sounds mientras pasamos 2 noches en un remoto alojamiento frente al mar, al que sólo se puede acceder en barco, kayak o a pie. Visita galerías, cervecerías artesanales, tiendas boutique y bodegas en una región famosa por su cultura artesana creativa. Nuestro viaje comienza en Nelson, donde nos unimos a la Great Taste Trail, pedaleando por terreno llano o suavemente ondulado, a través de un túnel ferroviario en desuso y por pistas costeras hacia las playas arenosas del Abel Tasman. A continuación visitaremos los impresionantes Marlborough Sounds, donde disfrutaremos de un día de relax en el albergue, antes de que una excursión a pie y en bicicleta nos lleve al corazón de la región vinícola. Nuestro paseo final nos lleva a través de los coloridos viñedos del valle de Awatere y pedaleamos por dos puertos antes de una cata de vinos en una bodega de Blenheim, que pondrá el broche final a esta memorable aventura al aire libre.

Programa del tour

Día 1

Encuentro en Nelson, Ruta del Gran Sabor de Richmond a Tapawera - 62 km

Welcome to Nelson, the “sunshine capital” of the South Island of New Zealand, where we meet at 8:00am. We drive to Monaco Point for a briefing and bike fit and set out on our first ride along the Great Taste Trail. We set away riding along the waters edge, through the Waimea Estates vineyard and along the Waimea River, through Brightwater to Wakefield village. We meet the Wai-iti Riverbank, and on through the Domain to Belgrove where we can see a historic railway windmill, one of only two left in New Zealand. The trail then winds its way through bush up to the entrance of the historic Spooners Tunnel. Riding through Spooners Tunnel is a highlight. It is a 1.4km long rail tunnel, the longest decommissioned tunnel in the Southern Hemisphere. We continue on to pass through Kohatu and then enjoy views across hop plantations and farmland to Mt Arthur/ Wharepapa, before a gradual descent to Tapawera. We load up the bikes and then drive back to our accommodation in Nelson. In the early evening you are free to explore the town before meeting for our first evening meal together. Cycling Distance: Monaco to Tapawera - 62km
Día 2

Pedalea por la ruta Great Taste Trail de Tapawera a Riwaka por Baton Saddle - 64 km

We transfer to Tapawera to start cycling where we finished yesterday. Today's ride takes us on a new outback section of Great Taste Trail, gently climbing 120m over the Baton Saddle to Woodstock. From the high point, we descend into the pretty Baton River Valley after crossing a new purpose built cyclists swing bridge. This part of the cycle trail follows a gravel road open to farm vehicles, tankers and logging trucks and is the most challenging part of the trail, but it is not technical. We then continue on the road along the west bank of the Motueka River to Riwaka, passing through vineyards, kiwifruit orchards and hops farms along the way. We end our ride with a visit to the Riwaka River Estate Winery for a late afternoon tasting. We then load up the bikes and drive to Motueka and our home for the next 2 nights. For those who still have some energy, they can cycle 8km from the winery to our accommodation in Motueka. Cycling Distance: Tapawera to Riwaka - 64km
Día 3

Excursión y navegación por el Parque Nacional Abel Tasman, regreso a Motueka - Senderismo 13,4 km

This morning we drive to Marahau and the start of the famous Abel Tasman Great Walk. We will rest our cycle legs by taking a half day hike into Anchorage on the Abel Tasman walkway. The track is well formed and drops into several beautiful sheltered bays and golden sand beaches. At midday we have lunch overlooking Torrent Bay and then board a catamaran for an exciting sail around the heads and back to our vehicle. To round out a wonderful day, we take some time to enjoy Kaiteriteri beach, with the chance for a late afternoon swim or a relaxing stroll along the golden sands. From here it is only a short drive back to Motueka. Walking Distance: 13.4km Sailing: 3 hours
Día 4

Great Taste Trail Motueka a Nelson, noche en Lochmara Lodge - 44 km en bicicleta

After breakfast we set away from Motueka to rejoin the Great Taste Trail. We start with a climb through vineyards to the top of Tasman View Road, aptly named giving panoramic views across the Tasman Bay and Mt Arthur Range. Following an easy descent we ride through more apple orchards and vineyards, passing galleries and artist studios, then along the Ruby Coast into Mapua where we can have refreshments in one of the waterfront cafes. We take a short ferry journey to Moturoa/Rabbit Island and cycle beachside, through pine forest. Back on the mainland, the trail skirts around the shore of the Waimea Inlet, the largest enclosed estuary in the South Island and home to many wading and sea birds. Bird spotting is best when the tide is out. On reaching Richmond, we load up the bikes and head for lunch. In the afternoon we set away for the Marlborough Sounds leaving Nelson and the Great Taste Trail behind. It is a scenic 2 hour drive crossing the ranges, via Pelorous Bridge to reach Anakiwa where our water taxi awaits. We travel on to Lochmara Lodge, a remote oceanfront resort nestled in the Queen Charlotte Sound, accessible only by boat, kayak or foot. Cycling Distance: Motueka to Richmond - 44km
Día 5

Día libre en Lochmara Lodge

Today is your guide's rest day and you are free to explore the beautiful surrounds of Lochmara Lodge. Take out a kayak or paddleboard, swim, walk the bush tracks around the property, relax in one of the many hammocks, visit the Underwater Observatory (own expense) or the art exhibition spaces. At nightfall, make sure to explore the glowworm grotto!
Día 6

Queen Charlotte Track a Anakiwa - Senderismo 14 km, Bicicleta opcional por el sendero de las ballenas - 10 km

After breakfast we sadly leave lovely Lochmara behind. We put on our walking shoes and take a water taxi to Mistletoe Bay and set out to hike along the Queen Charlotte track. We climb up to the low Te Mahia Saddle and our path weaves in and out of Manuka Bush with glimpses of the vivid blue sea, secluded bays and bush clad shorelines below. We climb to a headland at the end of Ohahau Bay and are greeted by panoramic views up and down the Sound. We descend through mature beech forest to Umungata (Davies Bay), and soon after arrive at the little village of Anakiwa where the track ends. This afternoon we drive the scenic Queen Charlotte Drive, which hugs the shores of the Queen Charlotte Sound giving splendid sea views. Heading inland to Blenheim, there is an option to hop back on our bikes to ride a short section of the new whale trail from Tuamarina. We finishing our day at the Moa brewery, where it's time to relax in a bean bag and perhaps enjoy an awarding winning craft beer. Our accommodation tonight is a historic art deco hotel where we'll enjoy our final meal together to celebrate our week's active adventure. Hiking Distance: 14km, approx 4 hours walking Optional Cycling Distance: Tuamarina to Moa Brewery - 10km
Día 7

Whale Trail de Blenheim a Seddon, vuelta en bici a Blenheim - 65 km

En nuestro último día recorreremos un tramo de la nueva Whale Trail (Ruta de las Ballenas) que acabará viajando entre Picton y Kaikoura, y 2 puertos pintorescos. Saliendo de Blenheim hacia el sur, seguimos un carril bici designado hasta la carretera del paso de Redwood. Ascendemos gradualmente a través de viñedos y onduladas tierras de labranza, con las áridas colinas de tussock como contrastante telón de fondo. Llegamos a Redwood Pass y tenemos una agradable bajada hasta el valle de Awatere, bordeado de viñedos en todas direcciones. Continuamos subiendo por el valle siguiendo el río, la gran cordillera de Kaikoura y el monte Tapuae-o-uenuku dominan el horizonte que tenemos delante. Al cruzar nuestro segundo paso, el Paso de Taylors, atravesamos otro valle remoto que nos lleva de vuelta a Blenheim. En Taylors Dam cargaremos las bicis y nos dirigiremos a un viñedo local para degustar una selección de sus vinos, como broche final de la ruta ciclista. Llegaremos de nuevo a Blenheim a primera hora de la tarde, donde nos llevarán al centro de la ciudad. Distancia en bicicleta - hasta 65 km
