New Zealand's original bicycle tour specialists since 1985.
The Southern Alps tour takes one on a breathtaking loop through some of the world's finest scenery. Stay in charming inns and hotels. Walk on a glacier, experience the rainforest on a range of short hikes and meet friendly New Zealanders. Ride to Mt Cook and stay on a sheep farm. Besides great biking you can try jet-boating, rafting, scenic flights and bungy jumping. This is one of our most popular trips.

@WOODRUFFAPTS Thanks, what a wonderful testimonial! Just wanted to let you know our staff in Vietnam are getting better and better at looking after you all. We'd love to see you back there one day.

Thanks for the comment, we hope to see you out here one day! We'll be sending a new brochure in the next month or so. Enjoy the Raid Alpine, we're envious.

Would love to do one of your trips but too far away and too expensive for me at the moment but did enjoy the brochure! Currently preparing to ride the Raid Alpine, my VLog might be of passing interest.

I rode with PedalTours in Vietnam in 2007.
It was a well organized and supported ride and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us.
It was one of the highlights of my life and I recommend PedalTours to anyone considering a tour.
