Tour Aotearoa

Tour Aotearoa is one of the world’s great bikepacking trips: stretching 3,000 km from Cape Reinga to Bluff it follows a combination of cycle trails, tracks, paths and lanes connected by the most enjoyable country roads available. The Tour Aotearoa route is designed to highlight the best New Zealand Cycle Trail Great Rides, Heartland Rides, and quiet back country roads. The route is designed by New Zealand cycling guidebook writer Jonathan Kennett.

A Tour Aotearoa Brevet event is also organised in February each year. The 2026 event starts in waves of 100 people per day
