Spooner's Tunnel Tour
Nelson Central
70 Beach Road, Nelson Central
The Spooner’s Tunnel tour is a marvelous day ride which takes you on a downhill adventure through forest, farms, a tunnel and along meandering rivers. This is the southern hemisphere’s longest disused rail tunnel at almost 1.4 km long.
We begin the day with a full briefing and bike kitting at our base. We then shuttle you up into the hills as we point out key landmarks for your day’s adventures. Disembarking in the lush hills above Nelson at the Flat Rock Café, Kohatu there’s time to stop for a coffee or a cheese scone. From here it’s a beautiful 50km off-road trail, steadily downhill and back to Nelson. You’ll be following the historic railway route and it’s interesting to read up on its creation on the information panels at various locations as you go. The scenery en route is diverse. From lush hop plantations, forest, wineries & market gardens, the Waimea plains supports a diverse range of fertile habitats and delicious crops. Bring your lights for 1.4 kms of darkness.
