Fantastic organisation, great food, staggeringly beautiful scenery, a guide with in depth knowledge of the area and its history,ride as much or as little as you like, we cannot speak highly enough of this trip. Molesworth Station is staggering in its size, its location and its sheer presence.What a great... More

A fantastic four days of cycling, scenery and food. We did this trip over Easter 2012 and saw a part of NZ we'd never seen before. Geoff and Lee made this tour so easy and relaxed - all we had to do was cycle. Our guides had amazing knowledge of the area and kept us informed and entertained over the... More

This was an excellent trip. We had been talking about visiting the Molesworth area for some time when we noticed the trip on the web. We are both keen cyclists so we thought this would be a good way to pay this area a visit with the security of the bus following. We found the trip a little more challenging... More

We went on the Molesworth Cycle tour in March 2012. It is a very unique part of the South island and difficult to get to without the support of a tour company -especially if you want to bike it. The days were well organized and we could do as much or as little biking as we wanted. Very intersting terrain... More

We went on a four day tour with Trevor as our driver / guide. Trevor's knowledge of the history of the early settlers and stations was incredible. The tour included stays at some memorable places such as Ugbrooke House and Tophouse (Nelson Lakes). The morning / afternoon teas and lunches hosted by local land-owners and residents were a highlight as... More

This journey would not have been the same if it hadn't been for our guide Geoff's great organisation skills, fun personality and great stories from the past and present. As Farmers from the North lsland it was interesting to see how these extensive farms function. lt was great going onto Upcot station for the day and meeting the Steveson's who... More

The whole trip was perfect from the time we were picked up and met our guides - Brian and Rob - until we were dropped off again 5 days later. The accommodation was comfortable with good beds at all places. The food, especially the lunches, was exactly what was wanted by hungry cyclists. The cycle routes were sometimes challenging but...
