This tour was full of absolutely beautiful scenery and unique experiences especially the lunch at the farm stay and the sushi bonfire night on Ohiwa beach. The guides were very knowledgeable about the local surrounds and history. The accommodation at Ohiwa beach was a bit disappointing for us, but I think it was only our cabin. Everyone else were more... More

We used Adventure South's support crew facility to allow us to take part in the Tour of New Zealand. Without it, we simply couldn't have joined in. For two of us the prices made us wince but I have to say it was worth every single cent. Tim was a brilliant driver, tour guide, hotel and restaurant arranger, soigneur, picnic... More

We have just returned from 5 days cycling the Otago Rail trail - what a fantastic experience with Adventure South! We were a group of 15 "mature" friends from Australia and together with our guides Steve & Rob we made the 150 ks with lots of fun, challenges, adventures and a great sense of achievement. Adventure South were totally professional... More

I have already recommended this adventure to family and friends! We were fortunate to experience the beautiful autumn colours of Central Otago without any heavy rain or bitter cold days. It seemed the ideal time of the year to go biking in the South. The whole tour was well organised from the morning we were picked up from our motel... More

I am not usually one for guided tours and was a little apprehensive at first. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way though. The guide was simply tremendous. Laid back, yet organised and kind. He made sure everyone felt included. He even did side trips along the way, whilst we cycled, to collect our choice of alcohol for the... More

We have returned from an adventure around central Otago that simply exceeded all our expectations. Adventure South put together an itinerary that really did work so well that we are now keen to investigate how we can explore interesting parts of the world in this way. The fact that we feel like this is an endorsement of how the bikes... More
