“Super fine cykler og service - dog havde vi problemer med at komme ud af lufthavnens området i vores biler, da den dags billet ikke virkede til bommen, parkerings personalet måtte lukke os ud - så nu er vi meget kede af det hvis vi bliver opkrævet parkerings betaling.”
Paddle to Split Apple Rock in Abel Tasman, then pedal the Great Taste Trail to Mapua with great value transport and equipment.
“Loved the kayaking and well signed Taste Trail. Would not let novice riders do the 44km ride in the heat, as it was demanding in places eg a MTB course to start. Not lots of places to stop for food and drink. Beautiful views.”
