Fully supported three, four and five-day cycling holidays on the Otago Central Rail Trail, with bikes, heritage accommodation and transport.
Cycle the Otago Central Rail Trail without carrying anything. Off The Rails books the beds, moves the bags and meets you along the way, so you ride with a day pack and turn up to dinner.
The trail is old railway formation across Central Otago, so the gradients are gentle the whole way. It is the scenery and the small towns that do the work.
Trips
- Four days, three nights — the most popular way to do it, with time for sightseeing stops
- Three days, two nights — for riders comfortable covering more ground each day
- Five days, four nights — the Rail Trail plus the Lake Dunstan Trail
- Five-day customised itineraries — for groups who want a wine tour, a round of golf or some hill-country riding worked in
- Day Tripper — a single day on the trail
Packages take in bikes and helmets, heritage accommodation, meals at local hotels, home baking and transfers. The base is Ranfurly, out in the Maniototo, a few hours' drive from Queenstown.
