Small Groups
When we say small, we mean up to 12 people per cycle tour. That lets us focus on you and your unique holiday, and not on a big unwieldy group of cyclists.
Expert Leaders
All our cycle tours are led by two of our expert Escape Adventures cycle leaders. (NZ based) We pride ourselves on the calibre of these great people who you will be spending your holiday with.
Really Local
We know that our most precious memories are with real people. We’ve been going to the same villages for many years. You’ll meet locals on their terms, and make friends that will seem like family when you leave.
Making a difference
By supporting local restaurants, accommodations, and small businesses we make a direct and real contribution to the economies of the areas we visit.

“Joey and I had the most incredible bike trip to Kenya and Tanzania. The information and helpfulness from Mandy in the office, to the actual bike tour with John and the crew, is a testament to them offering an experience of a lifetime and living up to it.” Shelly Groves

I used to think 40km was a big ride and now I’m relieved there’s “only 40km to go….” when I’m already 80kms down 😎. Who am I?!? Haha. @ kel_hutton_nz #cancerslayer #myescapeadventure

Why New Zealand?
Because it is unique, relatively inexpensive and beautiful. Where to go is mostly determined by time. Three weeks? Head to the South Island. Highlights are seal colonies, a rail trail in Central Otago, lakes, mountains and a clean environment. There are great beaches and long, isolated and pristine coastlines.
With a small population of friendly people and excellent public services, relative to the rest of the world New Zealand is probably one of the safest places on the globe to explore by bike.
What to Expect
New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate with mostly sunny weather from December to April. Subtropical in the north to moderate in the far south and a total area of around 166,940 square kilometres. New Zealand is approximately 1600 kilometres in length. There are no snakes, no bugs, no giant spiders... it's just beautiful.
