Silver Fern:

Mountain bike holiday in New Zealand

Comparable in size to Colorado, New Zealand is one of the world's least crowded countries with a diverse and beautiful landscape that includes vast mountain chains, streaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deep fjords and lush rainforests. This 12-day road trip goes from the bottom of the South Island to Auckland in the North Island - you'll get to see and ride singletrack from one end to the other and hop in a helicopter too. If you've been dreaming about the ultimate New Zealand trip wait no longer, Silver Fern is here.

What an adventure! Each day was vastly different and totally inspiring - from one end of NZ to the other.Catherine B.
