About Us

About New Zealand Single Track Adventures, our people and our story

We are a small family-owned business with a deep passion for Nature and remote backcountry experiences. Founded by a Kiwi Canadian adventure couple who have spent over 15+ years together, living and breathing wilderness adventures between New Zealand’s Southern Alps & Canada’s remote Coast Mountains of British Columbia.

Ben & Cristina, Lily & Toby have combined their dreams and passion for sharing the beneficial experience of mountain biking some of the world’s finest trails with people from around the globe, all with a touch of logistical finesse.

Driven by a passion to showcase New Zealand mountain biking and the South Island’s outstanding natural landscapes, they developed NZ Single Track Adventures, which delivers the best mountain biking tours in NZ. As pioneers in NZ MTB tourism, they partner with the world’s leading MTB tour providers such as Sacred Rides, and have been rocking NZ riding since 2013.

Journey into the heart of New Zealand’s most beautiful remote wilderness

After years of guiding for the top adventure companies in New Zealand, Ben & Cristina learned the ins and outs and intricacies of what a memorable and inspiring adventure experience entails. Not only through their years of guiding people from around the world in both NZ & BC Canada, but this adventurous couple also has a deep passion for exploring places that are hard to access and incredibly wild and stunning. Whether by foot, bike, or 4WD, they now instill in their young kids the importance of nature and being active amidst its beauty. They spend endless summers riding mountain bikes & hiking hut-to-hut in New Zealand and then cross over to BC, Canada to do the same. Take a look at their sister companies to understand that traveling with NZ Single Track Adventures means you’ll be sure to travel with a small, family-built business with deep passion and expertise in delivering the very best adventure experiences.

Our Mackenzie Country experiences range from memorable scenic 4WD tours to hut-to-hut backcountry hiking trips.

“Our years of experience guiding people from around the world by wilderness hiking, mountain biking and 4WD have given us a deep understanding of how to create & execute some of the finest adventure experiences that inspire and enhance people’s lives. We share a deep passion for exploring remote backcountry areas that are hard to access . "

A Must-do New Zealand MTB Trip! An absolutely unforgettable experience! The guides were epic—truly awesome people who knew how to balance adventure with fun. The food was fantastic, and every meal felt like it was made with love. The riding was incredible, but what really stood out was navigating through the wild thyme and tackling the technical moon rocks in Alexandra. That was a real highlight for me. This trip was everything I hoped for and more!

Awesome NZ mountain biking trip! Just wanted to write a review for NZ Single Track Adventure. After years of lurking MTB tour companies and various trips I decided to pull the trigger on NZ and chose them. Feel I made the right choice. NZ has epic riding and Ben & Cristina know exactly where that riding is. From Heli-biking to flowy Singletrack, everyday was an adventure followed by ridiculously good food, beer and great accommodations that most tourists don't even know exist. It was awesome. We had a group of 7, everyone was shared a love for MTB and got along great. If you do a trip that ends in Queenstown then be sure to stay an extra couple days as most people on the trips seem to stay a few days and ride around Queenstown.
