reviews

Awesome transport option to a track that is usually logistically difficult. Can transport up to 9 bikes and passengers. Dave was even happy to wait for us while we had lunch after our ride.
Lots of storage for gear. Comfy van and great layout with side facing seats for everyone to chat. Scottish Express has so many great trips available. Highly recommend this service and business. Tarnia

Just going to bombard you with a few beautiful pictures of Kahurangi National Park, and remind you that we have the Kahurangi Express monthly special happening next month. Want to get the low down on it, head to our blog about what you can do in this area on "Express News" on the website. We’ve been keeping things pretty low-key with our adventure transport business in Nelson New Zealand these past 3 years, running Express part-time. So, what were we doing with the rest of our time? Well, @davescotland75 Scotland( that's me!!) was also busy with a wild side project—a full-blown organic garden experiment in my backyard! Think wild pigs, chickens, and veggies you’ve probably never even heard of. On the prowl for new adventures.! Got a great idea for a day hike, that'll get people on board for shredding the Rameka. Keep your eyes peeled. 🌟 Giving Back Feels Good! 🌟 Are you in the Nelson Region for Matariki? Think summer is the only time to visit the Nelson Tasman Region? Think again! Our region, nestled at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, and is sheltered by the stunning Kahurangi National Park and Mount Richmond Forest Park—meaning you’ll enjoy mild weather and breathtaking scenery all year round. Out with the crew yesterday, braving the frosty Maungatapu on a crisp winter morning! ☕️❄️ Kicked things off with a must-have coffee stop at Pelorus Bridge before heading up the Pelorus Valley for our drop-off. These kinds of adventures are perfect for making the most of the shorter winter days. We celebrated the Kings Birthday and the first day of winter in Mount Richmond forest park. Top valley up the Northbank road in Marlborough is a great place to base yourself for adventure. Only two and a bit hours drive away from Nelson. We know a photo is a 1000 words, but you will actually find some more words that will guide you to great adventures on our trip report at "express news" on the website Need to get your legs ready for an upcoming adventure ride? Jump on your bike Sunday, tackle the Maungatapu track and get transport back to Nelson from as little as $15.
