DAY 1
Arrive Rotorua, Ride Whakarewarewa Forest
Our trip begins in Rotorua with a lesson to boost your confidence for the rest of the trip. As we head into “the Redwoods”, as there’s a trail to suit anyone, and you will soon see why it is the capital of mountain biking in New Zealand. No mountain biking trip to New Zealand is complete without descending into the world famous Redwoods! We’ll hit a couple of smooth trails through the tree ferns today before heading back to our comfortable accommodation for a welcome dinner prepared by your guides.

DAY 2
Ride the Great Lake Trail, Lake Taupo
We’ll make our way south this morning, and ride a section of the “Great Lake Trail” that skirts the shores of New Zealand’s largest lake. With incredible wide expansive views out across Lake Taupo from a wide, gradually descending trail, the ever present dose of glorious New Zealand forest, and the opportunity to swim in Lake Taupo’s beautiful waters at the end of the ride make this trail an absolute winner in any bikers book. Did we mention the views!?

DAY 3
Ride the Forest Loop & explore Rotorua
Day 3 and we are feeling great on our bikes. It is time to ride the Forest Loop around the world class Redwood forest. This loop takes us right around the outside of the forest on a cycle trail/ easy mountain bike trail that has views, flow, coffee, and toilets all en route.
This one only takes half the day so you will have time to venture in to Rotorua and visit some hot pools or take part in any of the other adventure activities on offer.

We will be taking our bikes out to ride in the ancient podocarp forests of the Whirinaki. This forest has the most stunning forest in the country. With lots of pest control also happening your chances are high of seeing Kaka (our native bush parrot) or Whio (Blue Duck).
The riding is great and it is a great place to just hang out for the day!
