Departing from Depot in Nelson, this relaxed day ride follows the Great Taste Trail toward Richmond along a gentle former rail line, perfect for riders of all abilities.

Along the way, you can visit local favourites such as Pic’s Peanut Butter World or the Nelson Classic Car Museum before continuing through the scenic wetlands and regeneration areas of the Waimea Inlet.

Cross the impressive suspension bridge to Rabbit Island for coastal views and beachside relaxation, then finish in the charming seaside village of Māpua, known for its cafés, galleries, and artisan shops.

A mid-afternoon shuttle returns you to Nelson, completing a day that blends easy cycling, local culture, and stunning coastal scenery.
