Experience the magnificent mountain and lake scenery starting at Lake Tekapo, cycling around the shores of Lake Pukaki, Lake Ōhau, and finishing with breathtaking views of Lake Benmore.

The jewel in the crown of the A2O trail, the Lake Benmore trail section will take you on a route around the lake never before accessible to the public and features a panoramic vista from above the largest water retaining structure in New Zealand, the massive Benmore Dam.

If you are looking for a cycle trip shorter in duration than cycling the entire trail, but one that is condensed with stunning landscapes then choose our A2O Hydro Lakes itinerary.

It is also possible to start from Aoraki Mt Cook if you prefer this option.

Highlights

  • Clay Cliffs
  • Omarama Hot Tubs
