Big Sky Bike Adventures

Fantastic company. Endless patience in the planning stages. Super responsive while we were on the trail including replacing bikes and assisting with issues that arose. Highly recommend.

We asked for the bespoke (custom, one-way with car transfer) tour itinerary, and we got much more than we imagined. The bikes were fully equipped with panniers, helmets, and a water bottle you can keep when the trip is over. We also were supplied with maps, printed instructions and descriptions, and even candy to take with. Despite some changes we made to our itinerary last minute, Jacquie, John, and Neal handled it all, no problems. Very nice folks to deal with!

Spent five days cycling the Central Otago rail trail with Big Sky Bike Adventures, absolutely loved it! The company’s attention to detail, professional back up and operation gave me complete confidence whilst riding. Bikes were in excellent condition, extremely well maintained, Richard our “facilitator” was fantastic, accommodation also comfortable and our hosts very welcoming. Highly recommend you book with Big Sky!!

We had a really great experience with Big Sky Adventures. I had messaged several companies about wanting to take my children (aged 2 and 6) on the rail trail, but didn't have a clear picture in my mind of what we could realistically manage. The people at Big Sky got back to us quickly with an exciting but manageable itinerary within a day and remained so easy to work with and contact. They were careful about details and when we weren't sure whether our 2 yo would be better in the trailer or the baby seat, offered to let us take both, without charging us extra. They were awesome about us calling to adjust our final pick up time on the last day when it was clear we weren't quite going to make the full distance. Every person we worked with at the company was friendly and kind and supportive. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our experience with Big Sky and loved the rail trail. Jacqui had excellent suggestions for accommodations and restaurants. Push bikes were in good order. Our luggage came and went seamlessly between accommodations, and Jacqui even organised getting my glasses back to me before I noticed I'd left them behind - You'd be calling about your glasses then? We had someone collect them and they are waiting for you at the pub with Angela." In fact

Fantastic experience booking this trip with Big Sky, super helpful and flexible. Flawless planning, comfy bikes, wonderful accommodation and hosts, friendly shuttle drivers and thoughtful messages when weather looked a bit dodgy. Did the trail with kids aged 12 and 9, e-bikes made the trip alot of fun for them despite a bit of cold and wind. A family trip we'll never forget. Thanks Jacqui and everyone else involved

Jacquie and John at Big Sky took great care of my sister and I on our Otago Rail Trail adventure. From customizing the itinerary to amending plans when the trail flooded and it began to snow, they stayed in constant communication with us and we knew we were in good hands. The personalized touches of fun facts for along the trail, places to get water, tasty places to eat, lollies for energy on the hills, and supplies for the DOC toilets made the trip easy and a fun adventure to share with my sister.

Jacquie and her Big Sky Team are AWESOME. They went out of there way to accommodate our specific needs including disassembling and boxing our son's custom bike. Communication was great and regular and everything went like clockwork - they even ensured we had the best weather for the 4 days of our trip :). Thank you for a memorable trip!!
