Nelson to Wakefield, including stop offs at cafes, the unique World of Wearable Art & Classic Car Collection, wineries, brewery and places of historical interest. (35-40kms). Beyond Wakefield is Spooner’s tunnel, which is the longest cycling tunnel in the southern hemisphere (and fifth longest in the world!). The trail is currently under construction to get to the tunnel from Wakefield.
Enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful Motueka valley with its majestic river. Finish at the golden beach at Kaiteriteri.
Cycle from Kaiteriteri to Mapua. This is one of the favourite sections of the trail for both locals and tourists. The many cafes and changing scenery along this 43 km section, provide a memorable day along the trail. The vibrant village of Mapua offers lots of options for sampling the flavours of the region, with cafes, restaurants, a brewery and wine bar in the village and the wharf area.
Cycle to the Moutere region, enjoying quiet country back roads, vineyards, orchards, hop gardens as well as stops at studios and galleries as well as outstanding Nelson wineries and New Zealand’s oldest pub with a large selection of local craft beers. Return to Mapua and enjoy another easy evening around the wharf.
Cycle from Mapua to Nelson (or the airport). Follow the coastal section of the trail, through Rabbit Island and along the edge of the Waimea estuary, towards the town of Richmond and then along a railway reserve to Nelson. (35kms). Alternatively you could do a circuit, finishing at Mapua, where we can arrange a late check out if that helps with your onward travel arrangements.
