Overview
Take on New Zealand's Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail over six unforgettable days. This active adventure strikes just the right balance between rewarding climbs and easier days where you can really take in all the scenery from the saddle – with stops at Lake Pukaki, Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, Lake Ohau and Lake Benmore, this trip is full of unforgettable vistas. Cycle up to a 900-m-high lookout for dramatic views of Ben Ohau, explore Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park on foot and opt to cycle to the remarkable Omarama Clay Cliffs. The path is set – are you ready to join the adventure of a lifetime?
