The essence of the outdoors. Ecotrek trips allow you to experience the natural beauty of your surrounds as you cycle or walk at a leisurely pace.

Join us on one of our small group fully supported tours cycling the Rail Trail and the Vineyards of Central Otago or let us put together a tailor-made itinerary for your group.

Tailor-made tours can be fully supported or partly supported. On a fully supported tour you have a dedicated support driver and vehicle and almost everything is included. While partly supported tours allow you to cycle or walk the trail independently but know that all your arrangements are in place from accommodation, transfers to cycle hire.

Talk to us about our other great cycling and walking experiences in Australia’s Flinders Ranges, Kangaroo Island or on the Great Ocean Road or in exotic destinations such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, China and Borneo.

PureTrails NZ specialises in bike tours for the 50+ age group, with a relaxed itinerary allowing you to bike the trail at your own pace.

We offer a 5 day package tour of the trail, including accommodation; meals; return transport from Christchurch; vehicle support; bike repair support; as well as additional sight seeing to places of interest off the trail.

As well as biking the rail trail and enjoying the picturesque scenery, you'll meet the people as we pass through each town, learn about the rich history of the area and how the harsh environment is farmed, and more than likely fall in love with 'central'.
