SOUTHERN TRAVERSE
GRAVEL, RIVERS, AND MOUNTAINS - THE FREEDOM OF THE SOUTH, YOUR WAY.
6 Days • 1,500+ KM • 50% Dirt & Gravel
Feel the thrill of New Zealand’s backcountry without the stress. This tour is built for riders with gravel experience who want to ride epic dirt tracks in comfort. Over five action-packed days, explore breathtaking landscapes, including scenes from The Lord of the Rings - and discover hidden valleys, winding tracks, and scenic river crossings.
Your bike is fully equipped for off-road riding, and with fuel, breakfast, and a support vehicle carrying all your luggage, you can focus on the ride, not the logistics. Ride light, ride relaxed, and let every twist and turn awaken your sense of adventure.
Along the way, forge lasting camaraderie with fellow riders who share your passion. Each evening, return to comfortable twin-share accommodation with a hot shower and a real bed, the perfect reward after a day in the saddle.
This is more than a ride - it’s five days of adventure riding, friendship, and epic scenery, all without roughing it. Are you ready to feel the dirt, the freedom, and the thrill?
Expect:
20+ river and creek crossings – wet boots guaranteed.
1,500+ kilometers of adventure – at least half on dirt and gravel.
Flexibility – our route adapts to the group’s appetite for adventure.
5 Riding days with a rest day to explore Queenstown.
Support & camaraderie – expert guides, backup vehicle, and a crew of like-minded riders.
