My cycling trip in Otago was a breathtaking experience. The weather was perfect, showcasing the region's picturesque beauty. The landscape, with its rolling hills and stunning vistas, was a delight to explore. What truly made the trip memorable were the amazing meals, adding a flavourful touch to an already perfect journey.

Griff was our guide for this trip his excellent level of professionalism and knowledge made it an unforgettable trip that we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone, you will love it.

A fabulous trip with stunning views, nice accommodation and good food along the way. The tour guide (Griff) was exceptional and took care of all of our needs. The bikes were of an excellent quality. I would highly recommend this trip.

I highly recommend the Otago Rail Trail bike ride in New Zealand. Riding through wonderful scenery on a historical trail lends to a great fulfilling experience. Intrepid were very well organized in getting the trip together. Our guide Rod Griffith ‘Griff” was great with not just his knowledge of the area and the rail trail he also had a wonderful sense of humor, we had lots of laughs. He made everyone feel very comfortable, all our needs were catered for & we felt very safe in capable hands!

Otago Rail Trail is a super easy trail to do on a mt bike with fat tyres! Beautiful, stunning scenery - lots of farmland (cows/sheep/deer), rivers, bridges, tunnels, ... quaint towns - especially Ophir, great cafes/pubs along route, amazing accommodation - the Black Hotel in Ophir was a great stay, super friendly- helpful guide (thank you Griff). Had a great 4 days!

This trip was awesome. Mostly fairly flat but I'm 65 & of dubious fitness, so I got an ebike which I would recommend unless you are a regular bike rider. The accommodation was really good, scenery amazing, plenty of stops for photos etc, went to some nice pubs & cafes. Curling was fun. Griff, the leader was a legend, and the group were fantastic & very supportive. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

This trip was amazing! One of the best ways to see the country side! I enjoyed every moment of the trip!

Wonderful scenic bike trip. Griff, our guide is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging with a good sense of humour too. We thoroughly enjoyed our first bike trip and it will not be our last

This is a relaxed ride through sensational scenery, staying at warm, cosy accommodation in friendly little towns. The countryside is beautiful and the history of the rail line really interesting. For me the curling was a highlight and the guide was fantastic.

A brilliant ride through the stunning scenery of Otago. Well organised trip with lots of good food and coffee along the way. The guide, Phoenix was great and kept me going when I was flagging at the end of a long day of riding. Highly recommended.

My partner and I recently cycled the Otago Rail Trail in NZ. We had a great time -the cycling was fun and scenery is magnificent. Griff, our tour guide and lead is a real pro - experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, fun and brought the group together in a way that felt like we were all old friends. He really did 'make' the trip for us. Thanks Griff - we had a ball.

I can thoroughy recommend this trip. A mixture of easy riding on excellent bikes, well maintained tracks, beautiful countryside, dramatic mountains, and sheep! Our guide Griff made the trip so enjoyable with his friendly easy going personality and knowledge. New Zealand is a beautiful country and this trip is not a bad way to experience it.

This was an awesome cycling trip that showcased the best of the region's scenery, food and people. Griff was an amazing guide who shared his enthusiasm and knowledge of the region in a very fun way. A great opportunity to enjoy an outdoors holiday with likeminded people.

Awesome trip! Not a seasoned cyclist so this was a push outside my comfort zone, but felt well-equipped (e-bike was well worth it) and supported throughout. Beautiful scenery, nice accommodation and food/drink options, seamless transport/logistics, and the curling was a fun bonus. Great group of people and a superb leader in Griff!

4 days of cycling and the smile has not left my face. Never thought that I’d be back on a bike after 20 years and manage 150 kms. Absolutely the best way to explore a country. Now to find the next cycling tour. Thanks Intrepid!

Great trip! I was happy I chose the standard bike option even though occasionally wished I had an e-bike. The Trail surpassed my expectations - spectacular views and interesting history. The accommodation was rustic but comfortable and by the end of a day cycling and taking in all that fresh air all I wanted was a shower and bed.

Excellent trip with good accommodation and great leadership from Intrepid tour leader. Some tough sections and a chance to see parts of New Zealand off the beaten track. Felt a genuine sense of achievement as we rolled into Middlemarch.

This is a fabulous experience for anyone who can ride a bike. The scenery, food and coffee along the trail is great. Griff is an exceptional tour leader.

Simply the best trip. From amazing scenery, accommodation with soft wonderful beds, great local cafes and country pubs for meals, along with a great group, and Griff our awesome tour guide. Also, excellent bikes to ride on. Don’t need your own helmet as they give you one on day 1.

Great trip! Very scenic, the bike riding is really rewarding, the accommodation is cute/quirky/great and reflective of the little towns we stayed in. Loved the pub food along the way and our host (Griff) was just tops!
