3 Day Ultimate Sounds Adventure

Day 3

Mountain Biking
(approximately 4 hours)

Today ride the Kenepuru road from Portage Hotel to Waterfall Bay before joining the Queen Charlotte Track - regarded as one of New Zealand’s “sweetest” mountain bike rides.

Travelling around Onahau Bay, the track is narrow and undulating. From the headland, you descend into a wider more moderate section through magnificent beech forest before a long descent into Anakiwa.

At the end of the ride, return by either water taxi, or road, to Picton.

It is recommended that you do have a moderate amount of mountain biking experience, preferably on single track, to enjoy this ride. If you lack single track experience, then you may like to ride the Kenepuru road from Portage to Anakiwa. There is the option to walk this section, without the guide, if you prefer.

Your safety

It is important that you understand that while your guide will endeavour to maximise your safety, unlike sea kayaking and walking where the chance of injury is minimal, there is a risk you could fall off your mountain bike and injure yourself.

“Look. You need to know that Sara made it a very special trip for me. She took time to show me flora,fauna, pointed out sights, slowed down for me, picked raspberries, cracked jokes, made good tea, picked kawakawa leaves..” NM

“Just enjoyed the whole trip. The walking and views, then the lodging and food in the evening. Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip.”
