If you've never heard of the Nelson Skycrest Route, put it on your radar for your next visit to Nelson, New Zealand
Our 4WD shuttle gets you to the start at Maungatapu Saddle—just one hour from central Nelson. From there, spend 7-8 hours traversing out-of-this-world ridges, with views plunging to Tasman Bay and surrounding mountains, before meeting us at Fringed Hill to soak in the views before the 25 minute drive down to Central Nelson
Book as a monthly special or round up friends for custom group transport— ( next special Matariki Weekend)
Check the mapping flyover and get full details on this unique adventure, right on Nelson's doorstep: https://scottish-express.nz/.../nelson-skycrest-route.../
May is one of the best-kept secrets in Nelson, NZ.
Why?
Great Walk hut bookings open, and the Heaphy Track is back on the cards for riders from May through November.
That means it’s prime time to tick off two of New Zealand’s top backcountry rides — back to back.
We’ve made it easy with our $250 Ghost Road + Heaphy combo for individuals. Or round up a crew and chat to us about custom transport options.
Want to take it up a notch? Hire a bike from us and create your own version of the legendary Kahurangi 500 loop.
Off-season riding in Nelson… what’s not to love?
