The Best Trail Holidays For Families

The Otago Central Rail Trail

Central Otago

The trail that started it all. Follow an old railway line through beautiful, big-sky country dotted with a series of sweet wee towns and welcoming locals. It offers gentle grade-one trail conditions and loads of fun tunnels. An easy one hour drive from Queenstown, this tour is a worthy addition to any South Island holiday.

West Coast

West Coast Wilderness Trail

For those ready to elevate their riding experience, we recommend the West Coast Wilderness Trail, predominantly featuring grade-two riding and meandering trails, along with opportunities for both on and off-the-trail adventures. Discover the South Island’s incredible local geography and famous hospitality.

Tasman’s Great Taste Trail

Nelson

New Zealand’s best kept secret. Nelson is the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park, with white sandy beaches and the scenic beauty of Rabbit Island on your doorstep. The trail is a gentle ride around the South Island’s most charming city, with a fun ferry ride and plenty of ice cream stops along the way. It's a family adventure everyone will love!

On and Off the Trail Adventures

What Our Guests Say

  • "For our latest adventure, we packed our scroggin and tackled the spectacular West Coast Wilderness Trail. The trail offers a breathtaking mix of lush rainforests, coastal scrub, rocky rivers, fairytale meadows, wetlands, and even glaciers—it's like every type of scenic video you’ve seen, rolled into one! It was a thrill to ride, though challenging with climbs that tested us all. Our 9-year-old conquered a 50km ride with significant elevation—truly inspiring! Meanwhile, our youngest, fresh off training wheels, kept pace on a tagalong bike. Over four days, Kiwi Journeys made it seamless with their fantastic support, transferring our luggage and ensuring we could just enjoy the ride and each other’s company."
