My wife, a cycling novice, and I completed the Central Otago Rail Trail in March 2016.

The bikes provided were in excellent condition. The guide (Joyce) was superb, and fun. The accomodation was excellent and the food provided was also beyond reproach. The side trips including curling were great fun, and the group of 13 rapidly coalesced and enjoyed each other. The scenery was extraordinary and we were lucky with the weather with a little rain and mist but mostly sunshine and clear views.

We intend to return soon to do another grade 1 tour and would absolutely recommend Pure Trails for anyone with any level of cycling experience.
