A Fully Supported Great Taste Trail Experience
The Great Taste Trail is one of New Zealand’s most rewarding cycling routes, weaving through coastlines, countryside and vibrant local communities. This supported eBike tour allows you to experience the trail without worrying about logistics, navigation or carrying heavy bags.
Ride through Mapua, Motueka and Wakefield while stopping at wineries, breweries, cafés and artisan food producers along the way. Highlights include crossing on the iconic Mapua Ferry and cycling through the legendary Spooners Tunnel — the longest disused rail tunnel in the Southern Hemisphere.
Perfect for couples, leisure riders and food and wine travellers, this tour combines active travel with comfort, flexibility and unforgettable scenery.
