Experience New Zealand's best forest back roads and tight, fast single tracks by mountain bike! Let our professional team lead you on top rides, offer helpful instruction and ensure you have loads of fun. A gourmet lunch and end-of-day soak in the thermal spa completes your perfect adventure!

We collect you from your accommodation in Rotorua or transport station and take you to the stunning Whakarewarewa Redwoods Forest; one of New Zealand's premiere areas for mountain bike riding and suitable for all levels of ability.

You are fitted with suspension bikes and protective helmets and a complimentary water bottle and snack pack are given to everyone on the day.

The mountain bike ride will commence at about 10am. If new to mountain biking, our professional guide will give you a few pointers before starting out. This ensures that you make the most of your day out riding. We begin with an easy, rolling track to judge our group's ability. Depending on your skill level and fitness, we will continue through the fantastic selection of rides through redwood and pine forests, geothermal sites and native bush tracks. Explore the fun, obstacle tracks and have a go – or ask for a demo from your guide.

We meet back at the shuttle vehicle for a gourmet picnic lunch, or side-trip to a popular local café, if the weather is not suited to outdoor dining. Early afternoon finds us riding once again in this world-class terrain, enjoying the clean, fresh air and fantastic rides.

When we can ride no more, we pack up the bikes and travel into nearby Rotorua for a marvellously soothing soak at the Polynesian Spa & Pools. Unique outdoor thermal pools of varying degrees relax and warm our bodies after a day well spent, and provide the perfect end to a perfect day.

Our shuttle transportation returns you to your accommodation or linking transportation in Rotorua.
