"All 3 of us (one 20 year old and 2 late 50's) agreed this was our most enjoyable day in our tour of South Island. The bikes are good standard and jackets and helmets provided together with a map and Robert's recommendations of suitable wine estates."
"Did this in Oct 2010, fabulous trip and spectacular scenery. Collected field mushrooms and fresh paua along the way. Relatively easy walking although the prevailing wind can be strong at times. Can be done fully catered or BYO and bags will be transferred each day if you wish."
"This was a great walk every day and was a challenge to the leg muscles going up and down, but worth it if you have done some work before.
The views were great, the accommodation fantastic and loved everything at the places to stay.
brilliant not having to carry your food and clothes etc.
Would ha..."ppily recommend it to anyone, of course we had perfect weather apart from the wind, but am sure it would be just as much fun in the rain too :) it was good in that you had choices of which way to go some days depending on the weather.
