Gaylene Wilkinson

Cycle Tour Guide & Good Times Guru

Gaylene has enjoyed sharing her passion for outdoor adventures with others for much of her adult life. This has taken the form of outdoor instructing, guiding, high school teaching and volunteer leadership within clubs. Cycle touring, transalpine tramping, and dance fill much of her spare time.

Gaylene and her partner, Tony, are natural explorers, always wanting to find out what’s around the next corner, their base in Golden Bay is the perfect launch pad for all kinds of adventures. Gaylene loves people, and will endeavour to make sure you are comfortable, safe, well-fed and happy in your travels.

SMALL GROUPS

When we say small, we mean up to 12 people only.  That lets us focus on you and your unique holiday, and not on a big unwieldy group of cyclists.

Expert Leaders

All our cycle tours are led by two of our Escape Adventures leaders.  We pride ourselves on the calibre and resourcefulness of these great people who you will be spending your holiday with.

Keeping It Really Local

We know that our most precious memories are of real people. We’ve been going to the same villages for many years. You’ll meet locals on their terms, and make friends that will seem like family when you leave.

Making a Difference

By supporting local accommodations, restaurants and small businesses we make a direct and real contribution to the economies of the areas we visit.
