My husband and I went on the Alps2Ocean cycle trail with PureTrails New Zealand in January 2016.

We had a fantastic time. The route itself is beautiful, but challenging for a non-cyclist like myself, however I felt a real sense of achievement in finishing the 314km route.

PureTrails were a great outfit to travel with. Everything was well organised, accomodation was basic, but clean and well located, the bikes were very good and ideal for the route and the food selections were good, hearty and tasty ... just what you needed after a day of riding. Our guide, Peter, was great. He made sure we all knew where we were going, got there and had fun along the way. He was a fountain of information and really enjoyed what he was doing.

I would recommend both the route and PureTrails. It was a great experience.
