Welcome to the first combined newsletter for Pacific CYCLE Tours and Global Adventure Guide. Our team has been very busy both with our New Zealand tours through Pacific CYCLE Tours and our exciting new international brand, Global Adventure Guide.

With new road cycling, mountain biking, hiking and multisport tours being constantly added, we are continually growing our overseas tours. We now offer a diverse range of tours of varying duration, all graded for different levels of skills and fitness. As well as our advertised tours, we are experiencing an increase in demand for customized tours in many locations, so feel free to contact us with your dream holiday requests.

Bolivia offers an extraordinary adventure, retracing the steps of 16th century trade routes across the Andes. Beginning from the shores of the Pacific Ocean, this tour ascends one of the world’s highest roads to cross the arid Atacama Desert (the worlds driest place) and continues to climb past the international border of Chile into Bolivia.

Our popular annual 13 Day Mountain Bike Tour from Arica in Chile to La Paz in Bolivia is departing on the 11th of July 2005. The ability to say you have crossed the mighty Andes on your mountain bike is the envy of many cyclists and offers a unique experience and insight into this amazing part of the world.

If road cycling is your preferred option, next year we have a road option that is being conducted by one of the world's leading altitude training experts, Dr John Hellemans. Click here for further information.

One of our new destinations is Tasmania, Australia. We now offer an exciting 10 or 20 Day Road Cycling Tour of Tasmania. This tour offers an amazing look into one of the most diverse and exciting destinations Australia offers.

In April this year we conducted our first exploratory mountain bike tour of Tasmania following the Tasmanian Trail from the North and South. This tour will soon be offered on our Global Adventure Guide website along with a hiking tour to compliment our existing road tour.

If you are looking for a new destination in the South Pacific with a relaxed atmosphere, exotic wildlife, amazing scenery and great people, check out Tasmania, but be quick, our tours are filling fast.

For our October 2005 departure of the popular New Zealand Southern Jewel Tour we are offering a 10% reduction on either the 7 or 14 day itinerary and if that's not enough, receive a free T-shirt as well!
