Nelson & Marlborough - Select Single Track in Sounth Island, New Zealand

Nelson & Marlborough - Select Single Track

Australia and South Pacific | New Zealand | Sounth Island

Sometimes challenging, and at times technical, our Nelson and Marlborough Select Single Track weekend escape is achievable by anyone with a reasonable level of single-track experience. We ride on a variety of single-track, from the well formed Queen Charlotte track which for two days winds its way through the Marlborough Sounds to a maze of purpose built mountain-bike trails in the Nelson forests. A final blast across the top of Takaka Hill, the “Marble Mountain” brings us to a 900m descent through stunning native bush to Golden Bay and a welcome ‘Classic Kiwi BBQ” on the beach. At the end of each day we stay in a variety of guesthouses and hostels, with the ever-present hot showers, cold beers and the chance to experience some of New Zealand’s finest hospitality and local cuisine.
