West Coast Wilderness Cycle Trail

The tour is 5 days long with all 5 days being cycling days.

The majority of the West Coast Wilderness trail is compacted gravel with a range of wide and narrower trails (along water races). Cyclists need to be confident riding on uneven surfacers and aware that riding on this surface will reduce cycling speeds. There are sections of smooth sweeping boardwalk over wetlands on the trail and there are also some sealed roads. Most of these roads are quiet back-roads. Cyclists need to be aware of the road rules and able to cope with small amounts of traffic.
