At 75 years young, Margaret and her friend Bex have just crossed the Alps to Ocean finish line!

This March, these two ladies are riding to raise funds for Kilometres for Kids, supporting the Starship Air Ambulance in New Zealand.

If you've ever ridden with Trail Journeys, you might know our lovely Rebecca from the office — her 11 year old son, Ethan, is joining the cause too! Next week, he'll be taking on the 152km Otago Rail Trail to help make a difference.

Receiving artwork truly warms our hearts!

Celebrating 80, one of our talented guests captured the beauty of their journey, painting moments along his ride. From serene rivers to open landscapes, these artworks perfectly reflect the magic of cycling along the Otago Rail Trail.

Proof that the Central Otago scenery isn’t just a destination—it’s an inspiration.

"My tour group recently did the A2O trail from Aoraki/Mt Cook to Oamaru. This experience was absolutely fantastic on the pedal-assist, e-mountain bikes provided by Trail Journeys.

We had a diverse group of riders with different ability levels and these bikes were critical in keeping our group together over the varied distances and terrain of the trail. Each member of our group was thrilled with every phase of the trail from stunning mountain scenery, helicopter ride over Tasman River, alongside numerous lakes and canals, and through beautiful countryside dotted with a myriad of farms, rugged tracks and interesting wildlife.

We were well-supported every step of the way by the very friendly team at Trail Journeys. They were very customer-focused and able to help our group out with one or two minor issues along the way. Cheers Brian for taking photos and relaying information. Huge thanks to Mike for his captivating stories and guidance along the way.

The accommodation was very suitable, but special shout-out to Hugh and Dwayne at The Barn - Killin for their amazing hospitality and to Lynne at Riverside B&B in Kurow for her warmth and wonderful breakfast and packed lunch with home grown everything.

This epic trip is etched in the minds of all members of our group and we would most highly recommend the experience to anyone seeking an unforgettable, active, challenging, social and fun holiday for themselves."

Take your next ride up a notch—go electric! Marie hopped on an e-Bike for the first time and was hooked:

"This was my first time on an e-Bike and I had to get used to the weight being quite heavy for me, but once I moved on it the ride was very good.

I enjoyed the lake views and beautiful mountain peaks. Gravel tracks and switchbacks were a challenge but an amazing experience. Loved this trip. Thank you."

Amy and Jonas' unforgettable Alps 2 Ocean ride!

"For those working in Auckland, considerations such as the weather, physical stamina, flight tickets, and transportation to and from starting points make it impossible to just pack up and go like a young backpacker. We are deeply grateful to Sandra for carefully planning the most suitable itinerary for our short holiday.

Sandra was both informative and patient, helping us plan our journey with care. Mike and Brian were wonderful, offering friendly and attentive assistance throughout. A special mention goes to Mike, who enthusiastically shared local history, news, and travel insights along the way, enriching our experience.

We highly recommend NZ Trail Journeys in Omarama for their outstanding service. Thanks to their dedication, we enjoyed an unforgettable and truly memorable trip!"
