Scottish Express
Adventure Transport service to great destinations in the top of the South Island New Zealand
Got a hankering for a mini winter Expedition? I’ve got an interesting trip that will get you into some of the remoter backcountry to pursue your adventures of choice.
I’ll be dropping adventurers off enroute to Christchurch via Greymouth and Arthurs Pass and picking them up via Lewis Pass on the way back. Lots of options to customise an adventure . Find out more here
The Gorge Midwinter Enduro is on this Weekend!!! I’ve got free transport to anyone wanting to get out there and back on the day. Cut down on your fuel cost and your enviromental footprint and share some transport with some stoked human beings.
I’ll also be kickin around during the day, as I’m kicking back to the Nelson Mountain Bike club through my sponsorship by running shuttles for the day for the event. Check out the unique way we do sponsorship for the Nelson Mountain Bike Club here.
Grab yourself a seat and get yourself to a hot event in winter.
Some nice shorter trips well paired with our diminishing daylight.
Day tramp? Kayaking? Fishing? Offtrack Exploration? Shuttling the Gorge? Hike a bike the Nevis?
Yep, we’ve got all the above covered and more over the next month and a bit.
Delve further into the website for further info and bookings. Heaps of options her to de-hibernate!!!
Its a great time of year to get out into nature… yep its a bit colder and the days are a bit shorter, but we’re getting some amazing calm days and equally amazing sunsets over the western mountains. We’ve got a great monthly special trip planned for next Weekend, The “Coastal Express” is an amazing hop on hop off Kayak Shuttle Service…. drive your kayak and vehicle to any of the stops and we’ll drop you off at the next stop for a sublime paddle back to your vehicle, lots off options for short day trips, epic, paddles and maybe even an overnight trip. Time to get out on the water..!!
Been brewing up some new trips at Scottish Express. Got a great idea for Kayaking the quiter eastern Tasman Bay Coastline which is called the “Coastal Express“. Rocky and Raw, with a few interspersed sandy refuges. I’ve got an idea to run a kayak pick up and drop off trip from Tahuna beach all the way up to French Pass. This will allow people to Kayak back to their cars and choose a bit of the coastline to explore each time I run this trip. Some great options for exploring and easy overnights here.
The other thing I’ve done is revitalised the “ Kahurangi Express” trip. Everybody knows that Weekends are far to short to get into the outdoors and half the time you spend more time packing and unpacking and driving rather than being out there.
Well I’m boosting a wee idea to get people motivated. Fri night drop offs at Flora Saddle and Sun arvo pick ups at the Cobb reservoir… that’ll give you loads of time to explore the wilderness on your backdoor
Wow, what a weekend just been. We took the “Adventure Crafting” group up the Cobb Valley to stay at the Cobb Hostel , they enjoyed some amazing weather and mountain vistas. Almost 50% of the group had never visited the Cobb Valley!!
What makes the Cobb so amazing… is you can drive straight to an amazing alpine enviroment in just 2.5hrs from Nelson and you can also drive straight to Trilobite Hut . Throughly recommend a visit..
Coming to Nelson with a group of mate and we booked with Dave for transfers and a day at Wairoa Gorge. Dave made the whole process super easy and took... read more
