FAT TYRE-DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKING
Exhilarating helicopter ride, epic views, and then there’s the biking fast, flowing, fantastic. Several heli-bike options to choose from and nothing but fun to be had!
Choose your Heli-Biking or Mauntain Biking Trip, for example an amazing 12 minute flight over the remote Nevis Valley to beyond the Remarkables Range, we land at 1700m on the eerie rocky moonscape-like terrain of the Old Woman Range.
Undulating, fast flowing trails to some more technical single track take us to the bottom. Beware, there is some uphill riding. Finish at Bannockburn for lunch at the pub or a local winery. Allow 5-6 hrs.
Or the Cardrona Ride: Stunning eight-minute flight over the mighty Kawarau River valley up to the Pisa Conservation Area, we land at 1600m on a barren knoll with 360 degree views. We ride steep, fast, rocky, ungroomed single track down to Touhys Saddle then onto open flowing farm track to the valley floor. Finish up with an optional stop at the historic Cardrona Pub for a well-deserved cold one before driving back to Queenstown Allow 4 hrs.
