OVERVIEW
Come with us on a short 5 day jaunt around the top of the South Island of New Zealand, enjoy riding through the Marlborough region taking in the scenery and stopping to see the Whales off the east coast. Next stop Neslon via the famous Queen Charlotte Drive, known as the sunny city, Nelson enjoys more hours of sunshine than anywhere in New Zealand and is a great destination to have a rest or ride day to explore the city and surrounding areas. The ride from here takes you through a wonderful biking route to a Thermal Apline Resort in the mountains before heading back via more fabulous roads to our motorcycle base in Christchurch.
You'll be leisurely travelling around 900kms in total. (+ 1 optional non-riding day)
