My first time doing a multi day itinerary with an organised group. Not disappointed. A great bunch of people who fitted well together. Peter has planned a good itinerary, that seemed to suit most people. Good meals and accommodation. Good briefings each day. Strongly recommend.

Waikaremoana Weekender

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…
