EPIC MTB TRAILS
The Heaphy Track
Hard to get to but worth the effort to experience this epic ride that traverses different landscapes from the north to the coast. Nothing else like it in New Zealand!
This trail is 84km long and traverses from Nelson area to the West Coast of our South Island
Primarily a walking and hiking trail it can be ridden from May to October each year and you must book your hut or camping stays with DOC [Dept of Conservation]
This is a multi day ride, depending on how hard out you go and despite all the signs saying no E Bikes if you have a good one with suspension and a couple of batteries you can do it.
With 5 huts along the way there are options to decide how far you ride each day, however my recommendation is that you take your time to enjoy especially when it takes so much time to actually get there in the first place

Actually not far from Queenstown this loop does take you into the ‘back of beyond’’ and while it is popular you wont see many people!
The ‘Original’ Rail Trail is still a good one
