OFF THE RAILS - Guest Gallery

We hate to say goodbye to our guests at the end of their cycle tour, so we're building a gallery of photos and comments sent in to us and that way we can hang on to those smiling faces! We would love you to join us - on a cycle tour and in the Guest Gallery. We look forward to hearing from you.


The bike ride we did with your company was absolutely fantastic! We met a fantastic group of people and had lots of fun.

Mike and I were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the trip, especially Sam and John who looked after us and had such a wide range of local knowledge. And dear Joan, who was the perfect hostess and looked after us beautifully. You couldn't find anyone more perfect for the job of hostessing, as Joan has such a wonderful personality and made us feel very welcome and special. The breakfasts and afternoon teas were delicious. Joan's fruit cake was most appreciated at the end of the day's ride.

Thank you for organizing such a great ride.

Congratulations to Off the Rails Otago Bike Trail for the support, guidance, and accommodation. Many thanks for the everlasting memories.

I wanted to write and tell you how thrilled we were with the cycle tour. It really was the highlight of our holiday and an adventure we will never forget. Our accommodation was wonderful and we really enjoyed all the dining experiences you had arranged for us.

We were so impressed with the organisation and our children were intrigued that Sam, John and Joan knew their names and never forgot them!

Our family booked with Off the Rails to do the Otago Rail Trail. From start to finish Nicky`s team ensured that we were well cared for each step of the trail. The accommodation was charming and comfortable, the bikes and equipment were top rate and we were taken to delightful hotels each evening to dine.

From home-baked fruit cake to trying the sport of curling I would recommend if you are going on the Rail Trail, you do it with these guys!

We have just arrived home from a wonderful time on the Rail Trail. It was a great way to celebrate our 25 years of married life and we cannot thank you enough for actually putting on the tour to accommodate us.

John and John and Joan are such an asset to you. They all went out of their way to inform us, assist us in any small way, take us to great and interesting places and make us feel special. Their enthusiasm was palpable and we felt like we were their first ever customers.

We are recommending you to all our friends as we have had the most wonderful experience from beginning to end! Thanks again.

Sue & John Denmead,


My wife and I wanted to ride the Central Otago Rail Trail but didn?t have time to organize the logistics. We were recommended 'Off The Rails' and have nothing but praise for this excellent company that allows you to enjoy the trail with a single email or phone call to book everything.

The four of us had a fantastic time doing the Rail Trail. Off The Rails had everything organised for us and did a great job taking care of us. We really do recommend your tour, we loved every moment of it.
