Rave reviews on New Zealand Bicycle Cruise It’s our second time cruising with Santana. Impossible to believe but it rivaled or was even better than the first. A sampling of culture, history, scenery and some amazing rides. The tour staff provided solid service and support. The ship provided great accommodation and food. We’re grateful to owners/host Bill and Jan for a meaningful experience. Something my wife Fei, daughter Ellen, friend Greg and myself will talk about for years. We’re already signed up for two more cruises in 2025.

A great way to taste both the North and South Islands of NZ Well organized, great cycling options each day, terrific stops on both islands. This is my fourth Santana Adventure and I'm looking forward to two more that I've already happily booked.

We have done two Santana Adventures We have done two Santana Adventures, one to Tahiti and the second to New Zealand. We love riding our tandem, we love seeing the world through our biking experience, and being on a ship with a couple of hundred people who share this love as well. We love vacations full of action and activity, where we are tired at the end of the day from being out and seeing the world together and with friends. The people we meet on these tours are so wonderful and share similar values and interests. Bill always has a variety of rides to meet all levels of interest and ability so that no one feels left out; and he also has great activities for non-riders. We will definitely go again.

Best Normandy experience Our first Santana adventure cruise was amazing. Very well organized from the bike rental to the Tour de France party. Hearing stories of bike trips in other countries have us wanting more. Bill & Jan are excellent hosts. I Really appreciated Dustin’s help along the way for many reasons. Phillip & Laurie were very helpful after David’s bike crash on the Champs-Elysees. Excellent food on the longship. Great people on board to enhance our evening entertainment at dinner. Shout out to Gail for our daily Yoga sessions on the ships rooftop. We certainly would book another Santana Adventure again… Vietnam is at the top of our list. Sincerely, J & D Hopkinson

We have been on two Santana adventures… We have been on two Santana adventures and have signed up for 4 more. The ships are exquisite. Much smaller than a traditional cruise ship, luxurious and with excellent food. Most importantly however the cycling locations and routes are primo. There is a nice variety of easy, medium and hard routes that anyone can find challenging or relaxing.
