This will be a true 5 day adventure. This trip was planned as a custom trip to show you some of the best riding areas on the South Island of New Zealand.
You will be carrying your own luggage in the provided saddle bags and we will be overnighting in small towns where there will be a warm shower and a hot plate of food every night. We will be doing 40+ river/water crossings.
The schedule is set, but not in stone. If everyone agrees to change things or some riders don’t want to do certain parts we can make it work.
You will need some kind of off road riding experience to make this trip enjoyable for yourself.
The total distance of the trip is 15000+ KM with at least 65% of it dirt/gravel.
Ability: Intermediate to Advanced
