De Great Taste Trail & verder - fietsen, wandelen & varen
Reisroute
Verken het beste van Nelson, Tasman en Marlborough aan de top van het Zuidereiland op de ultieme fiets-, wandel- en zeilvakantie. Deze regio staat bekend om zijn adembenemende natuurlijke landschappen, met lange gouden stranden, ongerepte bossen en ruige bergen, en is ook nog eens het zonnigste deel van het land. Fiets langs Nelsons Great Taste Trail, zeil met een catamaran in het beroemde Abel Tasman National Park en wandel door weelderige inheemse bossen op de Queen Charlotte track. Ontdek de magie van de Marlborough Sounds als we 2 nachten doorbrengen in een afgelegen lodge aan de oceaan, alleen bereikbaar per boot, kajak of te voet. Bezoek galerieën, ambachtelijke brouwerijen, boetiekjes en wijnmakerijen in een regio die bekend staat om zijn creatieve, ambachtelijke cultuur. Onze reis begint in Nelson waar we ons aansluiten bij het Great Taste Trail. We fietsen over vlak of licht glooiend terrein, door een niet meer gebruikte spoorwegtunnel en langs kustpaden naar de zandstranden van de Abel Tasman. Daarna bezoeken we de adembenemende Marlborough Sounds waar we een dag ontspannen in de lodge voordat een wandel- en fietstocht ons naar het hart van het wijnland brengt. Onze laatste rit voert ons door de kleurrijke wijngaarden van de Awatere Valley en we fietsen over twee passen voor een wijnproeverij bij een wijnmakerij in Blenheim, wat een passende afsluiting is van dit gedenkwaardige buitenavontuur.
