Road Riding Tours

"ACTIVE NZ trips are the ONLY way to experience the real New Zealand!"

ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND Cycle Tours team - Ange West
Ange
Operations Co-ordinator
Biking habits – another one that’s obsessive! She turns up most mornings with her road bike, ready to take off along Queenstown’s deserted back roads in the evening. Or you'll find her on her mountain bike, uphill and downhill, using the local trails to their fullest and startling the people she overtakes!
Proudest Biking Moment - Standing on a wine barrel (that’s NZ bike races for you – finishing up at a winery!) to accept her second place medal after the Tour de Wakatipu off-road bike race.

Don’t worry if you have no idea what time it is in New Zealand. If it’s the middle of the night here, we'll turn the answer machine on (we need our beauty sleep!), but leave us your name and number, and perhaps suggest a good time for us to call you, and we'll get back to you. We have clocks all over the place set to different time zones, so we'll do the math and work out what time it is where you are!

Other active adventures in New Zealand and beyond.

If you're feeling inspired and have itchy feet, we have heaps more going on in the world! It’s all about exploration, discovery and growth. We run multi-sport trips in New Zealand, South America (Peru, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands and Patagonia) and the Himalayas. You could hike the Great Walks of New Zealand or hike the Inca Trail in Peru. Take on the W-Trek in Patagonia or swim with penguins and tropical fish at the same time (it’s pretty cool) in the Galapagos Islands. Tackle the trek to Everest Base Camp (just one foot in front of the other!) or discover the quieter parts of Nepal. We can take you there. Just pack your bags.

It’s important to emphasize that unlike many other companies, we don’t just market other people’s trips. We design and operate our own trips, only in places we know well, and always use our own guides (alongside local guides in some places). We don’t run trips everywhere, but we DO run trips in awesome places. And New Zealand is the most awesome of them all! You can’t beat home-made. With a bit of kiwi ingenuity, rigorously organised logistics, and with the enthusiastic work of a whole lot of fabulous people, we will ensure you have your best trip, ever. Unless, of course, you’ve already taken an ACTIVE trip, in which case you might have trouble deciding which, exactly, was the best trip ever. We reckon that’s not a bad dilemma to have though…
