Experience two of the best activities that Central Otago has to offer with a two day float and ride adventure with Clutha River Adventures and shebikeshebikes. Perfect for a weekend get-away or a mid-week mini break.

Day 1

Float and paddle your way down the mighty Clutha from Alexandra to the Old Gold mining town of Doctors point with Clutha River Adventures. The first part of this adventure is self-guided and you’ll be traveling in an ultra-stable inflatable kayak, fully outfitted with wetsuit and life jacket and this part of your adventure is self-guided. At Doctors point, step back in time and marvel at the efforts and hardiness of those early prospectors with a guided tour of the diggings and township when you’re met by the Clutha River Adventures boat. Enjoy some refreshments and then board the boat for your journey back to Alexandra.

Day 2

Today you’ll cycle a section of the fabulous Otago Central Rail Trail – one of New Zealands top 10 attractions. Drive to Omakau where shebikeshebikes will fit you to your ultra-comfortable mountain bikes and transfer you up to Oturehua to begin your cycle. Start off with some morning tea and explore the treasures of Oturehua, then cycle off to the spectacular Poolburn Gorge where you’ll cross the highest viaduct on the trail and pass through two tunnels. Complete the adventure with a tiki-tour through the old mining town of Ophir and then back to Omakau.
