Also in this town is the Burt Munro museum which is definitely worth a visit!

We have a late start today to give everyone the chance of a lie in. Then we head off on the Southern Scenic Route heading away from the South Coast of the South Island back towards the Southern Alps in all their glory. Our ride will get us into the beautiful lakeside town of Te Anau at lunchtime, which gives you an afternoon to explore the town or perhaps a glow worm cave tour by boat across the lake. As we head to Milford Sound tomorrow we will in Te Anau for 2 nights. 
Day 5 Te Anau to Milford Sounds and Return

We then head back for another night on the shores of the lake at Te Anau. 
Day 6 Te Anau to Cardrona

Today we take the road further north, starting up the West Coast of New Zealand, renowned for its heavy rainfalls but also staggeringly beautiful, and one of the favourite rides of all our clients on our tours. We head through more dramatic scenery of dense native bush and glacier valleys as we ride through the Haast Pass, stopping for an eating experience at the Bushman's café that will not be forgotten! We then cruise on the Harleys into Fox Glacier for the night and if you wish should have time for a flight up the glaciers!

Day 9 Arthurs Pass to Christchurch
182 kilometres / 113 miles
The ride today takes us out of Arthurs Pass National Park - the majestic mountain pass is all about massive mountains and going up, up, up ...then down, down, down. You will appreciate this once you have driven your Harley through there. Then we are out onto the Canterbury Plains heading back to Christchurch for the last night of the tour - leaving the majestic might of the Southern Alps behind us. As this is only a short ride today, for those that have the energy and inclination for one final Harley ride, we offer the option of an afternoon ride onto the Akaroa Peninsula.
