Reisroute

Als je de noordelijke regio's van het Zuidereiland verkent, zal deze fietstocht vol actie je zeker inspireren terwijl je langs met bush begroeide meren en paden fietst, langs wilde kusten en enkele van de beste wijnen van Nieuw-Zeeland proeft! Vanuit Christchurch fiets je naar Hanmer Springs om in de buitenbaden te baden en hun therapeutische kwaliteiten te ervaren. Terug in het zadel bij Springs Junction trap je over door beukenbossen omzoomde wegen naar de ruige schoonheid van de 'wilde' westkust. Vanaf hier zal het landschap, niet het fietsen, je ademloos achterlaten als je naar het noorden rijdt langs de vlakkere, schilderachtige landschappen van Lake Poerua, Rotomanu en Moana, genesteld tussen de Southern Alps en het rustige Lake Brunner. Ga verder langs een van de beste kustritten ter wereld voordat je de natuurlijke spuitgaten van Punakaiki, de machtige Buller Gorge en de serene schoonheid van Queen Charlotte Sound tegenkomt. Als je terugkeert naar Christchurch langs de prachtige kustlijn van Kaikoura, bezaaid met pelsrobben, is er de mogelijkheid om 's ochtends vroeg een walvissafari te maken, indien in bedrijf, als passende afsluiting van dit gedenkwaardige fietsavontuur.

Reisprogramma

Dag 1

Christchurch naar Hanmer Springs

After a pick up from a central Christchurch location, we drive out of the city and start to cycle. The Canterbury Plains are vast and with Hanmer Springs being our objective it's a matter of turning the pedals and watching the road slip by. By late afternoon we arrive at the thermal resort with a chance to soak in the hot pools before dinner. (www.hanmersprings.co.nz). Cycling Distance: up to 60km / 40miles
Dag 2

Hanmer Springs naar Moana Lake Brunner

This morning the beautiful beech forests of the Lewis Pass beckon. By cycle and coach we gradually climb over the picturesque Lewis and Rahu Saddles, after each climb is a downhill rush with long sweeping corners. On beautifully sealed roads with lush temperate rainforest lining the roadside we ride until we reach the rugged beauty of the West Coast Region. The afternoon sees us finish our ride at a country pub called "Formerly the Blackball Hilton." There is a story to be told over your drinks before we drive to Moana, nestled between the spectacular Southern Alps and tranquil Lake Brunner. Cycling Distance: morning – up to 45km / 28miles Optional afternoon ride – 30km / 19miles
Dag 3

Moana Lake Brunner naar Punakaiki

Heading out of Moana, we follow an undulating and winding course through the picturesque Arnold Valley to Stillwater. A flat ride beside the banks of the Grey River takes us out to the coastal township of Greymouth. One of the trips many highlights is the coastal riding as we head along the coast to the famous Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki. The riding is pure quality – with enough hills to keep you honest. Cycling Distance: 76km / 47miles
Dag 4

Punakaiki naar St Arnaud

Today we cycle up the Paparoa National Park coastline with magnificent ocean, rainforest, and mountain views. There are plenty of photo opportunities on this scenic and gently undulating ride, through to Constant Bays near perfect shelter from the West Coasts wild seas. Once back in the coach we enjoy the Buller Gorge with snapshot vistas of the Buller River whose white water attracts many a rafting and kayak enthusiast. Climbing out of the gorge we have a great final ride into St Arnaud, drawing us into the heartland of the Nelson Lakes National Park. Off the bike, a short walk takes in nearby Lake Rotoiti, with its famous jetty. This area is known as a “mainland island” and the results of the pest eradication programme means that the native birdlife is flourishing. Cycling Distance: - up to 75km, 46 miles
Dag 5

St Arnaud naar Nelson

Early risers are encouraged to take a walk into the nearby native forest at sunrise to hear the native birds & their “dawn chorus”. From behind St Arnaud we cycle the sealed forestry roads on a long mainly downhill ride towards the coast. We continue along a quiet road beside the beautiful Motueka River and through an area known for growing hops. We enter the township of Motueka and transfer by coach to nearby Nelson where we have time to explore the arts and craft capital of New Zealand. Cycling Distance: up to 97km / 60miles
Dag 6

Nelson naar Kaikoura

By coach we motor over the steep outlying hills to arrive at the start of the beautiful Queen Charlotte Drive, which skirts the Marlborough Sounds into Picton. From here it is a short hop over the hill to Blenheim, NZ’s premier wine producing region. After a great lunch at one of the countries leading wineries, we head south down the dramatic East Coast to reach Kaikoura, home of whale watching and swimming with dolphins in New Zealand. Cycling Distance: up to 54km / 34 miles
Dag 7

Kaikoura naar Christchurch

For the early risers, an optional chance to view one of the great natural sights as whales surface against the spectacular mountain backdrop of the seaward Kaikoura Mountains (www.whalewatch.co.nz). This is only possible if the operator is running their dawn departure which is not guaranteed. Swimming with or watching dolphins is also highly recommended (www.dolphinencounter.co.nz). Due to the popularity, however, it is essential to make a booking well in advance. Following a late breakfast we head further south cycling some of the great back roads and enjoying the scenery as we eventually return to Christchurch and drop you in the downtown area around 6pm. Cycling Distance: up to 60km / 37miles
