10 amazing adventures that will blow your mind

10. Mountain bike The Queen Charlotte, New Zealand

New Zealand is the world capital of extreme sports, so it would only be right to include a mountain biking trip across one of the amazing landscapes that the country has to offer. The Queen Charlotte Track is a 70km track between Queen Charlotte Sound and Kenepuru Sound in the Marlborough Sounds (spectacularly scenic with rolling hills plunging into the blue waters). It’s steep and challenging in sections, but there is accommodation available each night and some nice cafes along the way. Biking is permitted on the track all year round except for sections that are closed from 1 December to 28 February each year. Allow two to three days to ride the entire track, but sections of the track make good day rides, particularly between Ship Cove and Kenepuru Saddle (27km). Check it out here.
