North and South Islands, New Zealand

If you want to flood your senses with the most awe-inspiring sights in the world, look no further than a 20-day, 800-mile (approximately) bike ride through the best areas that New Zealand has to offer. You need to be in solid physical condition to tour the wide range of geographical areas this country has to offer -- if you're up for it, you'll see mountains, crystal lakes, geysers, and forests in one small region.

November to April is the ideal time to explore this spectacular country on a bike. Be ready to experience other great activities like whitewater rafting as well, since you don't want to pass up any opportunities here.
