Great Taste Trail, Nelson
The Great Taste Trail (175 kms) is made up of three stunning sections which are all very different, the Rail route, Coastal route and Valley route. Tastes are often associated with food, but on the Great Taste Trail the taste comes in many ways, shapes and forms. With Spectacular coastal scenery with estuaries and sea birds to the peaceful valleys, following rivers with great swimming spots, hop gardens, orchards and beautiful scenery. Along your journey you will discover the local history through informative panels and signage. Nelson is known for the most sunshine hours, exquisite food, award winning wineries, the craft beer capital, Abel Tasman National Park, and its breath-taking Scenery. With that in mind, the Great Taste Trail rivals any European Cycle tour.
West Coast Wilderness Trail
You’ve probably heard some wild tales about the West Coast – of rugged shorelines, intrepid journeys, sordid stories, hidden treasures… But as the Coasters will be first to tell you, “You dunno the half of it…”Now’s the time to discover the last of the wild places and spin a yarn or two of your own, with one of the country’s smoothest, most accessible and most popular cycle trails. On your trusty bike you’ll wind your way through ancient rain-forests, along glacial rivers, around moody lakes and across some downright cracking wetlands. You’ll cycle early bush tram lines and water races passing former gold-mining towns and workings, historic bridges and much more.
