Comments: Some of the finest gravel riding New Zealand has to offer awaits on this unforgettable route. Carve your way along winding roads that hug the coastline, climb over rugged mountain ranges, and sweep through remote valleys, all while taking in spectacular ocean views around every corner.

At the halfway point, roll into the charming village of Little River for a well-earned coffee and a chance to soak up the atmosphere before tackling the second half of the ride.

Ideal for full-size adventure bikes, this route delivers plenty of excitement without any major technical obstacles. The roads narrow and steepen in places, but ride within your limits, take your time, and you'll be rewarded with one of the South Island's classic gravel adventures.
