Nelson
We offer three great mountain bike trips, each with their own special character, from a genuine alpine trip with helicopter access and fast easy riding, through to a two day ride through the remote and open back country of the Molesworth and Rainbow Valley to Hanmer, with a nights camping included.
We provide excellent Giant double suspension mountain bikes, and one guide for two to three people, or two guides for 4 people and over.
The Dun Mountain Bike Trail
A classic mountain bike ride for experts or novices alike. Accessing the mountain by a short helicopter lift, the trip starts with a short alpine hike to the beginning of the Dun Mountain Trail; created from New Zealand’s first railway, built in the 1800’s for a failed mining venture. Twenty glorious downhill kilometres through native and exotic forest back to Nelson city. More...
The Rameka Track
Referred to by the New Zealand Automobile Association Top 100 as one of Nelson region’s key things to do, the Rameka Track is an old pack trail leading from an alpine area on Takaka Hill (the Marble Mountain), downhill through native forest and farmland to the Takaka Valley. It can be experienced as a conventional 4WD to the start, bike ride, or as a helibike; particularly from Awaroa Lodge. 20 kilometres in length, it takes about 2 hours to ride. More...
The Rainbow Ride
Another classic ride, it runs 106 kilometres through from Lake Rotoiti to Hanmer (the hot spring town) on a 4WD road, through some of the South Island’s awesome and remote sub-alpine country, passing over Island saddle at 1365 metres. With a camp overnight, or all in one day, this is a stunning back country ride. More...
