ALPS 2 OCEAN CYCLE TRAIL
6 Day Escape
The Escape, like the Discovery, has 5 cycling days. The main differences are in the locations you stay and the distances you cycle. With this option you will stay at Braemar Station, a working station, farming perendale sheep, beef cattle and deer with vast and spectacular views of Aoraki/Mt Cook, the Southern Alps and Lake Pukaki. You will also stay in Otematata, where campers flock to in summer to make the most of the lakeside location and spectacular landscapes. Duntroon is another spot where you’ll stay, with a great mix of natural and cultural wonders waiting to be explored with incredible geological formations and sites unlike anything else.
All of this with friendly support provided along the way, should you need it. The Escape begins from the official start point at Aoraki/Mount Cook. This experience has flexible start dates to suit your needs.

Although we’ve included as much as possible within your tour these are the things that aren’t included in the pricing:
Any meals not mentioned above.
Drinks and alcohol.
Single supplement: if you are travelling alone or would like your own room throughout the tour, this is an additional $360.
Add a night’s accommodation in Oamaru of excellent quality with close proximity to the finish, the harbour, restaurants and bars for $110 per person double/twin share. Continental breakfast can also be included for $25 per person. This provides time to explore the penguin colony, limestone architecture of the Victorian Precinct or many other activities that Oamaru has to offer.
A shuttle back through to our depot in Omarama. Our shuttle leaves Oamaru at 3pm (with 2.45pm the latest arrival time). There is also the option of a 10am shuttle the following day however this would require an overnight stay in Oamaru. The price is $55 per person for the shuttle and $15 per bike (doesn’t apply to our bikes). This needs to be booked when booking your experience with us as our shuttle only runs on demand. Please be aware there is a minimum cost of $250 for the 10am shuttle to run.
If you are bringing your own bike, please ensure it has recently been serviced and that you carry a personal repair kit that contains items such as an inner tube, pump and puncture repair kit. If you bring your own bike and you require repairs, we will do our best to help however it is likely there will be a cost associated with this and it is possible we won’t be able to carry out the repairs ourselves.
