New Zealand - Milford Wilderness Cycle Tour (10 days)

Our fully supported cycle program is the finest way to explore the lakes and high country between Christchurch and Milford Sound, one of the most scenic regions on the South Island of New Zealand. The itinerary will appeal to cyclists keen to appreciate the island at a relaxed pace. Each night we stay in comfortable lodges or farm stays renowned for their convivial atmosphere and fresh local cuisine.

While cycling we have ample time to appreciate the magnificent scenery and lakeside vistas and to also hike beneath Mt Cook and 'tramp' along a section of the Routeburn Track. A unique overnight stay on Milford Sound is another highlight of this exhilarating itinerary.
