Heli Biking
  Simply Wild offers guided Heli Biking close to Nelson. We provide excellent Giant double suspension mountain bikes with disc brakes. Dun Mountain Heli Bike The Dun Mountain Trail is a classic mountain bike ride for experts or novices alike. Accessing the mountain by a short helicopter lift, the trip starts with a short alpine hike to the beginning of the Dun Mountain Trail; created from New Zealand’s first railway, built in the 1800’s for a failed mining venture. Twenty glorious downhill kilometres through native and exotic forest back to Nelson city.
We also will organise other mountain biking trips: The Rameka Track Referred to by the New Zealand Automobile Association Top 100 as one of Nelson region’s key things to do, the Rameka Track is an old pack trail leading from an alpine area on Takaka Hill (the Marble Mountain), downhill through native forest and farmland to the Takaka Valley. It can be experienced as a conventional 4WD drive to the start bike ride, or as a heli bike; particularly from Awaroa Lodge. 20 kilometres in length, it takes about 2 hours to ride. The Rainbow Ride Another classic ride, it runs 106 kilometres through the remote and open back country of the Molesworth and Rainbow Valley from Lake Rotoiti to Hanmer (the hot spring village) on a 4WD road, through some of the South Island’s awesome and remote sub-alpine country, passing over Island saddle at 1365 metres. With a camp overnight, or all in one day, this is a stunning back country ride. |
