Itineraries

Whether your budget is crackers, caviar or somewhere in between, we’ll custom design the perfect rail trail experience for you. Absolutely free of charge.

Three Day Itinerary....

This one's for you if you're short on time but big on ambition! You'll have to cycle around 50 km a day (say 4.5 - 5 hours a day at the average cycling speed of 11 kph.) But won't bother you - because you're a machine!

Four Day Itinerary....

Four days means you'll travel at a more relaxed pace. You'll still cover between 35 - 45 km's a day (say 4 - 4.5 hours cycling) but you'll have time to stop and explore along the way. Or just sit and be at one with the universe. Say ommm.

Five Day Itinerary....

A five day (or more) trip means you're cycling around 2.5 - 3 hours each day. Perfect for those re-introducing their rears to a saddle, and for people who want to stop and smell the roses - or in this case, the wild thyme...

Silky Smooth Logistics

Blue Sky arranged our two day bike trip to perfection, including the bikes, shuttles at the end of our rides, bed and breakfast accommodation, and dinner reservations. All arranged and documented perfectly. BTW, they have electric assist bikes too.
Everything about Blue Sky is customized to your own needs and preferences. Don’t expect to get limited choices from a set menu. I was concerned that this custom approach would be expensive. I was wrong. Blue Sky’s services are affordable and budget conscious.
You cannot plan an Otago Rail Trail trip this well on your own!

Great organisation, Jacquie put everything together perfectly!

Jacquie arranged all my accommodation and transport: she met me off the Inter-City bus at Clyde Railhead and gave me full instructions, which were clear to follow. Accommodation was well chosen and varied. I had a couple of the places to myself, which was great, although it might have been nice to have met more fellow cyclists: I guess that just depends on when you travel. I did the trail over 5 days / 4 nights from Clyde to Middlemarch, and was a little worried about having to cycle 42 kilometres from Kokonga to Middlemarch on the final day, but in the end I managed it easily. Were I to do it again, I'd cut it down to 3 nights and miss out the stop in Ranfurly: Oturehua to Kokonga would be easy to do in a day. Very glad I did the trip and thanks to Jacquie for her organisation. Bike was perfect!

Fantastic experience across a beautiful landscape

We finished our 5 day Otago rail trail three days ago and had the best time! Everything was very well organised by Jacquie from Big Sky; the bikes were comfortable, the accommodation was beautiful with lots of character and all our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. I can highly recommend the Big Sky crew; they were so helpful and easy to deal with, and I appreciated the itemised quote and invoice, showing what you are paying for. Thank you for all your work and help, Jacquie and the crew!
