Description

We meet you in Rotorua and travel to the Whakarewarewa Redwoods Reserve; NZ's premiere mountain biking area. Guests are fitted with suspension bikes and protective helmets. We begin with an easy, rolling track to judge our group's ability and choose rides depending on your skills level and fitness.

We return to the vehicle and visit a local café. Early afternoon finds us riding again on some great tracks.

We pack up our bikes and check into our executive accommodation. Get ready for a well-earned dinner! You are free to spend the evening as you wish. We reunite for breakfast, and travel 15 minutes outside of Rotorua for a morning kayak on beautiful Lake Rotoiti. We gather around our sea kayaks for a safety talk before paddling across the lake to thermal hot pools.

We travel towards the coast for a lunch of fish & chips on the beach and continue to a marae about 30 minutes outside of Ohope. We are welcomed to the marae as honoured guests and participate in their official customs. Having prepared the hangi dinner, we are able to assist and watch as they lift our meal from its earthen oven. Those experiencing a marae overnight stay are able to select a bed in the communal sleeping area.

If you have selected more private accommodation you are returned to Ohope for your stay in a beachfront luxury apartment. Following breakfast, we travel 1 hour for an exhilarating day on the Wairoa River; one of NZ's best whitewater venues. We get into wetsuits, helmets, life-jackets and participate in a brief safety talk before practicing our new rafting skills. We traverse huge, boulder rapids, waterfalls and the infamous rollercoaster rapid!

We finish with a BBQ lunch and a hot shower and then return to Rotorua at the conclusion of the tour.
