Reisroute

Ingeklemd tussen de besneeuwde toppen van de Zuidelijke Alpen en de Tasmanzee ligt de 140 km lange West Coast Wilderness Trail. Wevend door de dichte regenwouden, gletsjerrivieren, meren en wetlands, voert een reeks soepel lopende off-road tracks je van Ross naar Greymouth. Je volgt het pad van lang vervlogen spoorwegen, houtkaptrams en waterraces uit de mijnbouwtijd, en geniet van kleurrijke verhalen uit het verleden. Onze deskundige gidsen laten je de mooiste bezienswaardigheden zien, zoals relikwieën van de goudkoorts, wilde dieren en verborgen natuurwonderen. Je hebt ook de mogelijkheid om een tocht te maken met de TranzAlpine, een van de spectaculairste treinreizen ter wereld. Karaktervolle steden, sfeervolle accommodatie en vriendelijke ontvangst maken allemaal deel uit van het pakket, net als de passie en plaatselijke kennis van onze bemanning.

Reisprogramma

Dag 1

Christchurch naar Hokitika - 18,4 km fietsen

We will meet in central Christchurch at Cathedral Junction at 7:15am. Your guide will drive to the Christchurch train station in time for the TranzAlpine Train (included for bookings from 27 May 2025, with an optional upgrade available to first-class level comforts of "ScenicPlus"). Rated as one of the top train rides in the world, this is an unforgettable journey across the Southern Alps arriving at Greymouth around 1pm. Lunch is own care today which can be taken at the scenic cafe on the train. On the west side of the Southern Alps, we regroup at Greymouth and drive 1 hour to the Tree Tops Cafe, backed by ranges cloaked in native bush. After a bike set up and starting photo, we’ll saddle up for our first ride along the trail. We cruise through to Hokitika, a loveable little town fronted by a dramatic beach and famous for pounamu (greenstone) and other arts & crafts - and sunsets. Two nights here won’t feel like enough. In the evening, we are hosted by local couple, Rob and Col for a paddock to plate home cooked dining experience in their architecturally designed eco home. Cycling distance: 18.4km Accommodation: Beachfront Hotel, Hokitika
Dag 2

Hokitika naar Lake Kaniere - 47 km fietsen

Our ride today takes us inland through rural country to reach the bush-lined Kaniere water race – always a favourite for its flowing riding and babbling waters. Nestled in the forested foothills, Lake Kaniere is a grand sight indeed. We’ll follow it shores to reach the small township of Kokatahi where we’ll stop for a picnic lunch. Hokitika Gorge is up next. A short walkway offers a chance to see its granite boulders and swirling, surreal turquoise waters from many angles. From there, we’ll drive back to Hokitika where there’ll be time to explore the town some more and hopefully enjoy another West Coast sunset. Enjoy dinner of your choice in one of the town’s many restaurants and pubs. Cycling distance: 47km Accommodation: Beachfront Hotel, Hokitika
Dag 3

Kaniameer naar Kumara - 49 km fietsen

Today we drive to the Treetop Walkway where you have the option to see Lake Mahinapua’s rainforest and wetlands from on high. Next up, we return to Lake Kaniere where we get back on our bikes and continue our ride through the amazing bush trails of this cycleway. Our first section on a rural road takes us to Milltown, home of saw-milling in earlier times. From there, the trail crosses a swing bridge and then a kilometre of switchback climbing takes us to the highpoint and more superb riding. From here it's mainly downhill, as we follow water races, bush tracks and reservoir roads taking in the spectacular views as we gradually descend to our overnight at Kumara and the beautiful historic hotel that is our accommodation. Cycle Distance: Lake Kaniere to Kumara - 49kms Accommodation: Theatre Royal Hotel, Kumara
Dag 4

Kumara naar Punakaiki - 28 km fietsen

Our final day on the Wilderness Trail see us riding north to Greymouth on a combination of riverside and coastal pathways. The old road and rail bridge is just one highlight as we head towards the town centre. After a café lunch, there’s time for a stroll around the town or an optional visit to the historic Monteith's Brewery. In the afternoon we drive the stunning coastal highway to explore Paparoa National Park. First, we’ll explore the Pororari River with its dramatic limestone gorge, then take the Truman Track through striking sub-tropical forest to reach a rugged beach. Our final walk is the leisurely stroll around Punakaiki’s Dolomite Point, famous for its Pancake Rocks and thundering blow holes. We’ll stay overnight in Punakaiki, a fitting finale for our final group dinner and reflection on our West Coast adventure. Cycling distance: 28km Accommodation: Scenic Punakaiki Hotel
Dag 5

Punakaiki naar Christchurch - 25 km fietsen

Leaving the West Coast behind us, we’ll begin our journey back towards Christchurch. Before we cross the alps, we’ll get dropped off for one last ride along quiet roads to reach Moana on the shores of Lake Brunner. With luck there’ll be time for a refreshing dip before lunch! After Lunch we'll drive back via Arthur's Pass to arrive in Christchurch in the early evening. Cycling distance: 25km
