NZ Remutaka Track is indeed a Great Ride with the support of Wildfinder - Returning to travel after Covid, we wanted to stay longer and go slower so New Zealand’s Remutaka cycle tour organized by Wildfinder was perfect. Our primary contact for the 4 days was Isaac and he organized a self-guided biking itinerary that emphasized local communities, history, nature, great food and of course, a daily dose of cycling through varied terrain. The Remutaka track flows between places that are not over-touristed and my husband and I, with the help of the attentive service of Wildfinder, enjoyed an authentic experience in a beautiful region of NZ. Thank you, Isaac, for our excellent bikes, wonderful accommodations and clear communication from start to finish!
