New Zealand · BIKE TOURS IN NELSON
Summer fills these weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 7 to lock in before you fly, what each includes and where they differ.
Ride quad bikes through Nelson forest and farmland to Cable Bay viewpoints, with expert instruction, scenic trails, and flexible tour lengths.
“Fantastic, both the quad biking route and the sky wire.”
Cycle Nelson’s Great Taste Trail to Mapua with quality bikes, scenic stops, a ferry crossing, and an easy return shuttle.
“From start to finish, simply easy and fun, great bikes, great team at either end of the journey. Simply just a good way to spend time getting to know the Nelson area, having not been on a bike, let alone an e-bike, there some nerves, but they went within a couple of turns of the crank, if your thinking about, just do it, it’s such good fun. Thanks Team”
Review of Nelson’s Bayview Circuit quad bike tour, with Cable Bay views, guide tips, pricing, age rules, and practical advice.
“Absolutely must do, was a great fun time for all. Guide was awesome both for his knowledge and the relaxed, friendly way he treated everyone, we had a couple of never riders and he got them comfortable in no time”
Cycle Nelson’s flat Great Taste Trail by e-bike to Seifried Winery for wine tasting, coastal views, lunch options, and a relaxed day outdoors.
“Absolutely beautiful trail. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the wine tasting was a nice add on. Would definitely recommend anyone who is coming to Nelson to give it a try.”
Cycle Nelson to Mapua on the Great Taste Trail with a ferry, wineries, coastal views, bike hire, and return transport included.
“Excellent service, transport back to Nelson was great- top driver that gave us a commentary and dropped us back to our accommodation. All staff were friendly, helpful and professional.”
Ride Nelson’s flat Great Taste Trail to Mapua, with wetlands, beaches, tastings, art glass, a ferry crossing, and return transport.
“Very good service from Nelson Cycles. Track was in very good condition and scenery along the way was excellent. Able to make detours - we did to the Hoglund Art Glass Studio - well worth it. Plenty of options for lunch at our ending in Mapua.”
Review of Nelson’s Abel Tasman kayak and Great Taste Trail bike tour, with practical advice on route, fitness, price, transport, and what to expect.
“Loved the kayaking and well signed Taste Trail. Would not let novice riders do the 44km ride in the heat, as it was demanding in places eg a MTB course to start. Not lots of places to stop for food and drink. Beautiful views.”
Pick a coast, a crater or a cellar door.
