Continuing on your ride from Salt Water Flats towards the coastline you will climb a short hill taking time at the top to enjoy the 360 degree superlative views of the Southern Alps, the braided Cook river, farmland and out to the Tasman Sea.
Descending down to the sea you will ride along this untamed beach and your guide will find the perfect spot for your idyllic picnic lunch.
