The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail is truly one of New Zealand’s great rides. For over 300 km and dropping 780m, visitors can experience some of the most stunning scenery in New Zealand. Suitable for all ages, the trail is an easy grade, and offers a mix of on and off-road trails which link the Southern Alps to the Pacific Ocean. Allow 6 days for the entire ride, or simply try out a day excursion.

"I went on the 2 hour tour on the most beautiful bluebird day. The stunning scenery of the mystical land Dawn took me to was incredible. She really made the film come to life for me on scene by explaining exactly what scene was shot where, and even had pictures from the film to refresh my memory. Daw..."n is very knowledgeable and passionate in what she does, which made the tour that much more exciting. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who has watched the trilogy, and for those who haven't as well.

"We cycled on a tandem in May 2013. We stuck gold with the weather and had a great trip. The track/trail is still uncompleted in a few places (Didn't affect our fun) but what has been completed is Gold Star surface.The scenery is breathtaking. Friendly people along the trail who helped us out with cy..."clists packed lunches, serviced accommodation, in house dinner or transport to a local restaurant at night.You are cycling through very remote areas with low populations and as yet in some places not much in the way of services for cyclists/tourists so you need to be prepared and plan your rest/overnight and food stops carefully.There is not a lot to choose from in some places but that is the beauty of New Zealand after all! Don't change too much. We chose to spend 4 nights in Oamaru at the end of our trip which was a highlight - the town is lovely, historic and the Blue Penguin trip a "must do" .
We recommend Aoraki Motel Mount Cook, Heartland Lodge Twizel, Ohau Lodge, Big Sky B&B Omara...

"This place is highly recommended for a stop over if you are driving from Mount Cook - Twizel! The salmon sashimi were so fresh and affordable. It tastes so good that we decided to drop by again on our roadtrip back.
The best part of it all - There are tables and chairs overlooking Lake Pukaki an..."d Mount Cook. The scenery is breath taking and to die for. It was one of the highlight of my trip!
Note: The GPS can't seem to detect the address given on its website. However, if you are driving and has a GPS, just key in Lake Pukaki Tourist Information Centre. This is where exactly it is located.
