Built during the gold mining era from the 1870s to the 1910s, the Old Ghost Road connects Old Dray Road in Lyell (Upper Buller Gorge) with the Mokihinui River. The track is dotted with seven ghost towns, remnants of its bustling past.

The track has been resurrected as one of New Zealand’s most famous mountain biking and tramping experiences.
Duration: It is typically a 2-3 day ride, best enjoyed in spring and summer for longer, warmer days. Winter conditions can be cold and increase avalanche risk.

Whether you’re a mountain biker or a tramper, the Old Ghost Road offers an unforgettable journey through New Zealand’s rich history and natural beauty.
