Is this tour fully supported with a van? Can I look up accommodation type before booking. Is it a mountain bike that I would be renting? Is the riding very technical? I do a lot of road cycling but have little experience on a mtb.

Adventure South offers fully guided and supported tours and the cost includes all accommodation on tour, most food and tasty snacks, professional guides and support vehicles. Marlborough and West Coast Cycle is a dedicated 'Road Cycling' trip rather than trail/off road. It is important that cyclists are assertive and have good road biking skills. Some of the days are 80km+. But we do have the support vehicle as a backup. On our road cycling tours our road bikes that we hire for an additional fee provide the ultimate cycling experience.
