Our first ride begins along the stunning Port Hills, with panoramic views of the Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean surrounding us. After lunch, we’re off on a (weather dependent) private charter flight to Lake Tekapo, witnessing New Zealand’s highest peak from above—Aoraki/Mt. Cook. Lakestone Lodge is our first exclusively booked hotel where we’ll enjoy a fabulous welcome dinner and a relaxing first night of the trip.

Setting off from the lodge, we’re riding north along one of New Zealand’s most famous trails—the Alps to Ocean—while surrounded by majestic mountain peaks. Enjoying a lakeside picnic lunch, we’re then off for a visit and wander around the Church of Good Shepherd in Tekapo before returning to the lodge for an evening under the stars.

Choose between two incredible routes today—cycling along gravel roads and the Alps to Ocean Trail around Lake Pukaki, or along the paved Pukaki Canal Road toward the High Country salmon farm. Next, we’ll head to our next exclusive lodge for dinner, the Lindis Lodge—one of the country’s most impressive luxury properties.

Following a hearty, view-filled breakfast and after a short transfer down the road, we’ll head out on an early morning bike ride, reaching Pip Cameron’s beautiful high- country station for a tour and home-cooked lunch. Making the most of such a beautiful spot, we’re then back to the lodge to immerse ourselves in what’s on offer—be that some additionally-booked activities like 4WD or fly fishing, or perhaps it's simply taking the stunning views from the lodge hot tub.

We're off to the beautiful lakeside town of Wānaka today. Following a transfer over the beautiful Lindis Pass, we’re off on a ride along the Luggate Creek Track, cycling along to the stunning shores of Lake Hawea. From here, we’ll head to our next exclusive property, Whare Kea Lodge, a beautiful property situated above the lake with sweeping views back to town and the mountains beyond.

Starting the day with a short drive out to the Matukituki Bridge, our Wānaka jet boats will be waiting to take us on a thrilling, scenic boat ride to the upper Matukituki River. Later, hike along the Rocky Mountain and Diamond Lake escarpment, with stunning panoramic views accompanying us.

Explore the surrounding Wānaka area today, riding along the lakeshore trail, the Clutha River Trail and around Mount Barker, reaching Whare Kea. Back at the lodge, we’ll enjoy a taste of local cuisine over drinks and canapés prepared by a private chef.

Our ride begins in Lowburn - along the Kawarau arm of Lake Dunstan to the Bannockburn Bridge—and passes by lovely wineries and olive groves. After a fantastic ride and lunch, we’ll make our way to Queenstown and the historic Hulbert House—our final exclusive property of the trip. Should time allow, explore the famous mountain town before we regroup for a spectacular final night celebration.
