New Zealand – South Island Southern Alps Cycling Tour
Guided or Self-Guided – 10 days/9 nights

Unspoiled New Zealand – glaciers, rainforests, lakes and snowy peaks; the Southern Alps  tour takes you on a breathtaking loop through some of the world’s finest scenery.  New Zealand was one of the last places in the world to be settled by man and it still retains a rugged, incomparable pristine beauty.  “The Lord of the Rings” was filmed here on the West Coast (or Te Wahi Pounamu to give it its Maori name) and is rightly recognized as a World Heritage Area. The South Island is known for friendly Kiwi hospitality, excellent local cuisine and includes interesting history from the region’s gold mining days. The vibrant towns of Wanaka and Queenstown- both on the shores of beautiful lakes with an alpine backdrop – make for a wonderful experience….

Vietnam – Cambodia – Saigon to Bankok by Bicycle Guided Tour –
14 days/13 nights

This tour takes in three of Southeast Asia’s most diverse and fascinating countries. Commencing in Saigon we head into Vietnam’s rice bowl and the Mekong Delta. This fascinating area is flat and lush and is quite unlike anywhere else in Vietnam. Although it is a densely populated area we manage to take quiet back roads and see some of the serene beauty of this area as we pass lotus flower ponds surrounded by ancient trees, ride along and over canals and roads lined with coconut trees and bamboo. Our entry into Cambodia is by boat as we head up one of Asia’s great rivers, the Mekong, to Phnom Penh. Enjoy the French colonial charms of Phnom Penh before cycling on to Kampong Thom where after our tour of the temples and a local lunch we ride among paddy fields before our two hour transfer by road to Siem Reap. One of the highlights is, of course, riding amongst a thousand years of history at Angkor and we explore the extraordinary temple complexes….
