Track and Trail Cycle Adventures

Track and Trail Cycle Adventures

Track and Trail Cycle Adventures includes the Otago Central Rail Trail as a two-day highlight within its 10-day guided South Island cycling itinerary. Starting and finishing in Christchurch, the tour begins with the Alps to Ocean route before continuing on to the Otago Central Rail Trail. Our riders cycle through Central Otago’s distinctive landscapes of golden tussock, wide open skies, and historic railway engineering, including viaducts, tunnels and country stations that reveal the region’s pioneering past.

Throughout this section, Track and Trail provides full logistical support, including daily luggage transfers, route briefings, mechanical assistance, a knowledgeable guide who share the history and character of the places encountered along the way. Accommodation is selected for comfort and local charm, while evening meals feature regional flavours and offer the chance to reflect on the day’s ride.

The Otago Central Rail Trail forms an integral link between the Alps to Ocean and the southern trail network, including the Clutha Gold, Roxburgh Gorge, Lake Dunstan, and West Coast Wilderness trails. By combining these iconic routes into one seamless journey, Track and Trail Cycle Adventures offers a comprehensive and deeply rewarding way to experience the diverse landscapes and heritage of New Zealand’s South Island.
