Review of: Rimutaka Inclined Cycle Tour
A group of 10 joined with the awesome tour guides from Green Jersey Explorer Tours for a 6 day biking excursion in the Wairarapa. We all voted the exhilarating adventure 10/10. We did the following: 1. Traversed the Remutaka ranges, 2. Explored the delights of Ngawi, 3. Enjoyed a visit to Palliser Ridge and the sweeping views of Palliser Bay, 4. Climbed to the Palliser Bay Lighthouse, 5. Biked the rugged coast from the Lighthouse to Tora, across private land and many streams and rivers, up and down gnarly steep rocky inclines. 6. Biked a steady up hill 55km from Tora to Martinborough Accommodation and Food was brilliant. We stayed in: Lacewood 2 nights at the elegant Tuhitarata Estate with gracious hosts Rob and Janelle - we were spoilt with a scrumptious gourmet dinner party by and with our hosts. Waimeha Camping Village in Ngawi with fun host John Tora Cookhouse for 2 days with Massages, Italian Cooking Lessons with Lucia, Diving for Paua & Crayfish, walks & swimming, Night sky watching with professional Beck Batemen and our fun host Tora (Alistair) Last night at the White Swan Hotel in Greytown. We all agreed that this is right up there in terms of fun, challenging, adrenaline pumping adventure with fabulous accommodation and food. Congrats to Green Jersey Cycle Tours for providing such a diverse fantastic trip. Special kudos to Rosemary for her excellent management and Johnny our main man - tour guide extraordinaire.…

We had a great day on this full day tour with Joe as our driver/ guide around the south Waiarapa area.

Lots of fun just riding bikes around the town. Our group hired a variety of bikes, got instructions & a map, and headed out. We swapped the group around so that everyone got to try the different bikes. Riding on the roads requires mutual respect, and we thought that the local vehicles & trucks were very careful - sometimes it is just appropriate for the bike riders to pull off the road and on to the grass, especially if vehicles are coming from both directions - so be careful. We did not visit any wineries… not really our thing, but had a heap of fun riding together.…

Review of: Self Guided Martinborough Wineries Bike Tour
We hired some very comfortable bikes to undertake our own mini wine tour and had a great time - bike was comfortable and easy to ride and the wineries (we called in to four) were very good. Friendly check-in and safety briefing. We'll do this again! PS We didn't take advantage of it but Green Jersey will pick up the wine you buy and return it safely to their shop.…
