Central Otago's Ngā Haerenga Great Rides of NZ

Otago Central Rail Trail
The Otago Central Rail Trail was the first of its kind. To be honest, a lot of people thought we were mad to put a bike track where the railway once was. But it seems to have caught the imagination.

Roxburgh Gorge Trail
The Roxburgh Gorge Trail gives you the chance to escape into another world. It’s been called NZ’s version of the Grand Canyon, only smaller.

Clutha Gold Trail
Adventurous souls once travelled the path of the Clutha Gold Trail. Early Māori, pioneering run holders and miners seeking fortune. Thankfully, it’s a much easier journey now, as the trail travels alongside the powerful Clutha Mata-Au river

Lake Dunstan Trail
The Lake Dunstan Trail follows the shores of Lake Dunstan between Cromwell and Clyde, passing through the picturesque and renowned wine growing area of Bannockburn, Cornish Point and Cromwell Gorge.
