Our Happy Clients

A great message of thanks for your providing for, and supporting us, on this trip today. This was a first-up challenge for me, having never completed a ride of this nature before. What started as frustration for me (I had bike issues) was fortunate as the bike you provided had a second battery which was greatly appreciated. Your support was exceptional, which included your vehicle, accommodation, and all the fine…

Whirinaki Forest - Lake Wakaremoana

The trip was rather good. Hadn't done any cycling in South Island before but a lot of adventure rides by motorbike in the back blocks. Cycle access to these incredible trails blew my mind and I'll be doing more in the future. Pete's cycling tour was very well run, efficient, well organized, nothing was ever a problem. The accommodation was also rather good with a variety of locations and having dinners…

10-Day South Island Omnibus Tour

Great trip. Hugely impressed with Peter, very organised, great briefings, always met us along the way with food, water and good cheer, along with bail out options if you needed them. The accommodation, breakfasts and evening meals were always as good as it got in any given location, with menus circulated in advance and cafes opening early for us. Thoroughly recommended.

Worry free trip, Peter took care of everything all I had to do was cycle. Accommodation was great and some nights it was fantastic as were most of the meal choices. Would definitely do another tour with this company again.

We can't fault the accommodation, organisation and the planning behind the whole trip. It may have been a little bit out of our depth and our lack of experience on mountain terrain, but Peter was fantastic in teaching us how to achieve a fun ride. We had a great time and would recommend to others looking for a thrilling adventure.

5-Day Central North Island Trip

A truly amazing experience, filled with some truly amazing sights to be seen by all. 5 days of riding and the only thing I needed to worry about was that I had clean socks to wear. We were well fed, watered and rested. The highlight for me was the new friendships made and the determination it took to complete the trails ending with smiles all round. Thank you to Peter…

5-Day Central North Island Trip

What a ride!! I'm 71 and have never done any off road riding so I marvel that I came through with only minor scrapes and bruises and my bike held up. Truly an education by fire but if I had done any research I would have flagged the idea and missed out greatly. I cursed it then but not now it was a great adventure. Peter Mitchell is a fine…

This experience was on another level. I am so glad I rode with a group and with an experienced rider like Peter. Honestly he taught me so much to make my ride that much more enjoyable and kept us safe at all times. The trails were challenging and having an experienced guide made the trip achievable.

5-Day Central North Island Trip

I was part of the group riding from Waikaremaona to Rotorua, Labor weekend 2024. This part of New Zealand is remote but so worth a visit. The scenery is amazing, the gravel roads (and the sealed ones) very quiet and in excellent condition, the climbs were a comfortable gradient and the the descents were long and fun. Peter was a superb guide and host. He was knowledgeable, communicative and very…

Looking for a no hassle bike trip and have the niceties done for you...look no further. From arriving at our leave point, my bike was whisked from my hands and carefully stowed ready for the journey...the lovely group of like minded souls bonded quickly and animated chat ensued. It wasn't long and we were wall to wall green, gravel roads and so remote, the livestock grazed the long acre...just fabulous…
