Kiwi Journeys Mapua to Rabbit Island fun
Cycle along the old rail route from Nelson City to Richmond then turn onto the picturesque coastal route at Richmond, winding your way around trail towards Mapua. This section of the trail is amazing, experiencing views from the coastal boardwalks of the Waimea Estuary and fertile farmland (home to a range of internationally significant bird species). Crossing the spectacular Waimea Swing Bridge before entering Rabbit Island. Its a nice time to stop for a break and take a swim in the warm waters of Rabbit Island. This is all grade one riding (easy) where a moderate fitness level is required. A short ride on the Mapua Ferry has you landing on the Mapua Wharf where the vibe and atmosphere is very relaxing, before your return shuttle.
