Twin Coast Bike Trail Experience

1 day
About this activity
Depart from Paihia on your purpose built mountain bike trailer and vans in the morning, and make a beeline for Horeke to start the trail. After exploring the Mangungu Mission Station at the beginning of the Twin Coast Cycle Trail, ride eastwards around the Hokianga Harbour, past the Horeke Tavern and up into the Utakua Valley. Follow the bubbling streams past back-country farmland and untouched rural New Zealand up the short but steep hill into Okaihau. Carry on riding past the picturesque Lake Omapere on the old Rail Corridor and into Kaikohe, the halfway point.
Continue on the trail downhill from Kaikohe to Opua (45km, or 28mi) taking in the train tunnel, swing and rail bridges, traditional maori community buildings (marae’s) and historic towns. Spend some time in historic Kawakawa, checking out the famous Huntertwasser Toilets and Vintage Railway and Steamtrain running through the main street in town. When you are ready to continue riding, follow the meandering Kawakawa River through one of the most scenic sections of the trail to the final seaside town of Opua. Time for another coffee or bite to eat before your shuttle takes you back to your accommodation or PaIhia MTB HQ in Paihia for a well deserved relax and dinner out in one of the many eateries in town.
All trips include quality full suspension or front suspension bike hire. This is the ultimate in luxury riding, and includes transport for pickup and drop-off, padded gel seat (to make it even more comfy), helmet, map, repair kit, pump, lock and all trail advice.
