You will not be disappointed with this experience. The process from start to finish was a pleasure. Great trails, people and facilities.

A must do!

We hired a bike at the Redwood forest for 2 hours. There are a range of paths to ride on (each graded for difficulty). We can cycle well but aren't well versed in extreme mountain biking, so kept to the green routes. This was a perfect fit, and incredibly fun. There are heaps of families enjoying the routes, so feels incredibly safe and fun. Nice cafe nearby the bike hire area. This was a spare of the moment decision on our trip, but ended up being one of our favourite parts. A must do!.

Fun fun fun!

Rented bikes here and had a blast riding through the forest primeval. I'm a tentative mountain biker at best, but there were kiddie trails I could handle (barely!) If you're a serious mountain biker, you'll be in your happy place. Nice coffee shop onsite for after-bike sustenance.

Whakarewarewa Loop Ride

Published on Apr, 2023

Awesome peaceful and scenic ride for a Grade 1 - 3 ride on our E Mountain Bikes. Some nice slow places and but also some good small downhill sections that brought in a bit more excitement. We took just over 2 hours with small stops along the way and was so well signposted that there was no way we could get lost. Will definitely do this ride again with more family as you experience so many different scenes along this trail. Give it a go!
