Ten of the world's greatest adventure holidays
When New Zealand launched the Otago Central Rail Trail in 2000, little did it realise that it was creating a genre. Trails utilising former rail corridors now form the spine of its Great Rides, a network of 23 long-distance bike rides around the country.
Traveller magazine in Australia, now rates these trails amongst the very best adventure holidays in the world!
The Otago Central Rail Trail was New Zealand’s original Great Ride that blazed a trail for others that followed, bringing benefits not only to riders and walkers but local families, businesses and the wider Central Otago community.
Now rated by Traveller magazine as one of the world's best adventure holidays, read more about the origins of the trail by clicking the link below.
