Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did the Top Half of the Alps to Ocean bike trail organized by Trail Adventures. It was an absolute blast from start to finish.

They had everything sorted out from the get-go (bike rental, luggage transfer, accommodation), so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the ride. Aimee & Vaughan were very responsive on email and provided all the information you need such as what to pack, what to expect and which meals are catered for. They also provide support if you suffered any bike issues along the trail.

Apart from the excellent service, best part of course was the scenery along the way which was jaw-dropping!

All in all, it was an epic adventure that I'll be reminiscing about for a long time to come.

We did just the first 3 days on alternate route (Tekapo to Twizel) finishing in Omarama. We had a blast. The gear & accommodation that Trail Adventure provided was all top notch. Great clear communication, and flexible enabling us to fit in extra sight seeing.

I can’t fault these guys. An excellent orientation. Fantastic bikes. Our driver Brian was so friendly, shared lots of local knowledge and went out of his way to look after us. The accommodation was varied, but each step was top-notch. Great hosts. Wonderful food. The trip was fantastic.

Aimee & Vaughan at Trail Adventures were awesome. I would definitely recommend them If you are planning an Alps to Ocean trip. Everything was organised so well - we just had to turn up and bike. Accommodation and food was fantastic. We all felt very lucky with our choice of using Trail Adventures.

Vaughan at Trail Adventures Omarama has to be in the finals for nicest guy on NZ. He was very helpful in booking at the last minute so thanks Vaughan!
The trail has some climbs that are a bit challenging. We appeared to be the only dummies who didn’t hire an e-bike. Some might say that was a mistake. If you’re not a regular rider or not a happy climber get an e-bike. Beautiful views on trail and well worth the day trip on section 5 of the Alps to Ocean.

Trail Adventures provided exceptional service on our Alps2Ocean adventures. Air New Zealand lost our bikes but Aimee and Vaughn quickly set us up with mountain bikes, fittings and a stress-free launch to our trip. Their itinerary, including accommodations and baggage transfer, was seamless. We especially appreciated the recommendations for preparation, restaurants and local sights. Hint: they provided this information in advance and we should have made reservations at restaurants!! We enjoyed their services so much that we returned to bike two more days with their help. We highly recommend that you bike with Trail Adventures.

Used this company to help us cycle the A2O cycle tour. Aimee tailor made it to suit our needs, we didn’t want to rush, so we did it over 10 days (7 days cycling). We wanted to spend time in Mt Cook to do some hiking and helicopter trip. I know others want to do the 301 kms much faster, but we were on holidays and had time to ride and then relax at each stop. The accomodation Aimee provide was all top notch and some of the B&B were the highlight of our trip. We had home cooked meals and was always sent away after breakfast with a packed lunch full of delicious treats!! Loved the small bars of Whittaker’s chocolate in mine most days. Luckily we didn’t need any assistance during our ride as the bikes were great and all custom fitted. Our luggage was transported from town to town so we only had to ride and enjoy the views… we loved our time and would definitely recommend Trail Adventures for anyone wanting to ride this great track, they have plenty of e-bikes for those who are not super mad cyclists, which were a dream to ride!!

We (3 Couples) cycled the A2O over 6 days Dec/Jan 22/23. Vaughan & Aimee were extremely helpful & accommodating throughout the whole booking & tour process. Every aspect was well organized from food to accommodation & transfers, the whole team were friendly & knowledgeable of the ride & the local area. Omarama to Otematata section was the No1 highlight closely followed by the rest of the journey, this was the most challenging part of the ride with some steep drop offs to the Lake below (not helped by our New Years Eve Hangovers) and the most amazing views. Put this ride on your Bucket List it is amazing.

We were so impressed with Trail Adventures. Vaughan and Aimee were incredibly friendly and helpful - they went above and beyond to make sure our trip ran smoothly. We thoroughly enjoyed the trail, and the bikes and equipment were first class - no expense spared. Ten out of five stars!
