The
Experience
Back of Beyond can offer a unique mountain biking experience,
having exclusive access to some of the more remote privately
owned High Country stations. Beginning at the picturesque
township of Mt Somers, the gateway to the location for Edoras,
the fortress city of the Rohan people in The Lord of the Rings.
The accommodation varies subject to availability each night
from renovated shearers quarters, an authentic Musterer’s
hut to a luxurious farmstay. Each day you will experience
true kiwi hospitality among the local High Country community.
Back of Beyond tours cater for novice as well as experienced
mountain bikers so everyone can enjoy the ride and you can
always hop in the support vehicle if you fancy a break.
Spending 4-5 hours per day on your bike, there is plenty of
time to stop when you feel like it, take in the sights and
sounds and relax in the evenings.
Each tour is equipped with experienced guides and a 4WD support
vehicle that carries all the gear, allowing you to ride unencumbered.
