Cycle Journeys was the ideal way for our group to ride the West Coast Wilderness Trail. All that was required of us was to turn up and have a great time!

Communication was excellent, the briefing covered everything that was needed and the bikes were great quality.

From Dave for the sorting and answering all my questions to Mike who sorted drop off and pick ups of our gear we couldn't have asked for better.

Would recommend them for using a package booking

Thank you team for doing all you could to make our time on the West Coast WT a fantastic experience: especially the great e-bikes (our first try of these), Mike for making sure we got where we needed to be, and reuniting us with our bags at night, and for your organising skills. It’s a great journey through some amazing scenery. Special mention for Gavin and Cindy at Scenic Waterways, and Celia and Helen at Kumara. Lovely people.

Wonderful experience with this mountain bike ride. Excellent service from Cycle Journeys with booking, transport, bikes and stroage. Great support provided during the ride and they organised lovely accommodation along the way. Our group was thrilled with their service

Great customer service with staff who did everything they could to make our 4 day Wilderness Trail cycle trip from Ross to Greymouth as relaxing as possible. The accommodation at the beginning and end was exceptional but I would recommend asking to be taken back to Hokitika for the 2nd night unless you want abuse and inappropriate comments from your host.
The support crew are amazing.

My biking skill has been limited to riding flat, wide roads of Kolkata, India for not more than 4-5kms a day. I signed up for a solo and self-guided wilderness mountain bike trail without much research and not with the best biking gear. And definitely with no training.

I fell thrice on Day 1. Many bruises. At least five shades darker in the sun. Thereafter my bike became my friend, doing exactly what I wanted it to do. From riding without hands, to puffing and climbing up a hill or coming down in top gear in exhilarating speed to riding in torrential rain! I was lucky to get some great biking advice from Dave at the Hokitika depot.

I have been generously rewarded with a lot of adrenaline rush, biking tips as mentioned above, beautiful scenery, motivation from fellow bikers I met on the way and a huge boost of self confidence.

These few days were one of the best in recent times. Now I know there will be many more.
