Experience Maximum Autumn Magic

When the days start to cool and the leaves start to change, biking through New Zealand’s South Island is a treat.

Autumn is the perfect season for cycling in the South Island. With the summer crowds gone, the trails are quieter, and the mild, calm weather makes longer rides more enjoyable. The colours of autumn are the real highlights - the golden-leafed landscapes not only make every ride unforgettable but also very picturesque.
