South Wairarapa's Green Jersey Cycle Tours has received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award.

The award celebrates excellence in hospitality and is given to establishments that consistently receive top reviews on TripAdvisor, an international travel website for bookings and reviews.

Green Jersey Cycle Tours, based in Featherston and Martinborough, rates as number one of 46 outdoor activities in the Wellington region, according to TripAdvisor.

To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.

Green Jersey's managing director Stuart Edwards said there is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by the customer.

"Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Green Jersey Cycle Tours and we'd like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor," he said.

"With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence."

Mr Edwards started up Green Jersey in 2011, after he and his wife relocated to Carterton from Wellington.

He offers cycle and rickshaw tours of Martinborough vineyards, and runs tours of the Rimutaka Cycle Trail.
