Luxury four day Kaikoura self-guided bicycle tour

This trip starts from our base in Christchurch with a gentle cycle through the vineyards of Waipara and on to your luxury farmstay. Here you enjoy five star accommodation with the spectacular backdrop of a 1600acre working farm (option of additional night’s stay and 4WD farm tour).

After relaxing in Waipara it’s a moderately demanding ride to your mountainous farm stay at Waiau. From Waiau, it’s a steady descent to the Pacific coast and the pleasant seaside town of Kaikoura.

In Kaikoura you have a chance to take in the dramatic scenery, whale-watching or any of the many activities on offer.

You then have an afternoon Tranz-scenic train journey, which passes the seal colonies that dot this spectacular coastline, back to Christchurch.
