Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Pick up Auckland and coach to Rotorua via Hamilton. Grab some lunch and a coffee, book in to our cabins, then just down the road is the Whakarewarewa redwood forest. Spend the day riding purpose built single track, grade 2-5, something for everyone. The best all day riding on the planet. Afterwards have a relaxing soak in a thermal hot spring before a gondola ride and time to test your skills on the Luge (price not included). Dinner tonight your choice, downtown Rotorua. If you really have too much energy we can go for a night ride back in the redwoods. The tracks will feel completely different at night. (Lights supplied)
Day 2: Breakfast at a mountain bike friendly cafe then another blast through your favorite tracks in the redwoods before we head off to Taupo. On the way we stop to see some boiling mud pools then have a relaxing soak in a natural hot river complete with waterfall. After lunch we cycle a scenic grade 2 single track to the Huka falls. At Taupo you can try the "optional" 47 meter bungy jump over the Waikato river (price not included). If we have time, ride one of our favorite single tracks at the craters of the moon riding park. Dinner at Taupo then travel south around Lake Taupo to the central plateau, home of New Zealand's volcanoes.
Day 3: Hope you didn't overdo it yesterday! Today is an epic mountain bike adventure. We ride the 42nd Traverse, a 4-5 hour grade 3 mountain bike adventure, riding the old logging trails and single track, through the remote ranges of the Tongariro forest. This area can be very isolated and exposed, if you choose to bring your own mountain bike it must be well serviced and reliable, alternatively ride one of our company supplied Specialized full suspension bikes. Riders should have extra clothing and rain jacket (see what to bring). Your guide carries tools, spare parts, map, compass, food, lights, first aid kit and survival blanket. Overnight in Turangi, relax tired muscles in a hot thermal pool.
Day 4: Coach to the Desert road and ride our classic, Tree Trunk gorge, 3 hour flowing single track through native Beech forest. Out there scenery and a brilliant end to your mountain bike adventure. When we finish we load up and coach back to Hamilton, grab a gourmet burger meal and continue on to Auckland arrive approx 7pm. End of Volcanic Blast.
