Description

Head to the Shangri-La of mountain biking and enjoy a guided program riding in the Redwoods at Rotorua in New Zealand! This North Island hotspot is home to a vast expanse of single-track routes that are commonly considered some of the best in the world, tucked away in a vivid green setting of awe-inspiring flora!

On New Zealand’s North Island, about 225 kilometers to the southeast of Auckland, Rotorua and the Whakarewarewa Forest beckon hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and especially mountain bikers to its incredible natural display. Its Gold Level status from the International Mountain Biking Association – among other accolades from sports and travel associations – place it in a league of its own as a biking destination.

Complementing the 5,600-hectare area of the Whakarewarewa Forest and 160-kilometer network of world-class single-track and forestry service roads is the pristine New Zealand bush. California Redwoods stand proudly around a plethora of other native and exotic trees, towering above a landscape of varied terrain including volcanic soil.

Your program places you in the midst of this mountain biking wonderland, providing a full day of incredible rides in a uniquely perfect environment. Gentle rides on rolling tracks for beginners blend together with steep and challenging courses for adrenaline junkies to ensure all levels are welcome. The volume and size of the trails and roads will keep you busy for a lifetime.
