Mountain Biking Daily
Rotorua Mountain Biking Opportunities
Mountain biking enthusiasts from around the world find some of the best biking trails in New Zealand’s North Island, where majestic forests are spread throughout the region. The most popular of these can be found only a few minutes from Rotorua’s city centre – in the Whakarewarewa Forest. The best way to get access to the thousands of hectares of mountain biking trails in the forest is by a Rotorua car hire. Collect a car from the airport to give you the flexibility to plan your daily excursions. Whakarewarewa Forest offers a huge variety of mountain bike trails, forest walks and off road running tracks. The forest is only five minutes drive from the central city and has free access throughout the year.
Use your Rotorua car hire to get to the information centre where you can obtain bike trail maps and walking track maps to help you to plan your time in the forest. The maps are an important part of your mountain biking equipment, as it can be easy to lose your way in the forest. Shops in and around Rotorua have bikes and equipment for hire to make your mountain biking experience as good as it gets. The staff members are often biking enthusiasts themselves, and they have a wealth of local knowledge to help you make the most of the experience. With a Rotorua car hire, you can visit the places you need to get to in the city, then travel to the forest to explore the area for as long or short a time as you like. With a detailed trail map, you can explore at your leisure or take a guided tour. You can even learn how to ride a bike correctly at one of the skills clinics before embarking on your adventure.
Your guides will also be able to give you the background to the trails, which were started by a local enthusiast named Fred Christianson in 1993. Since then, the tracks have been developed and maintained by dedicated local club and community members. The biking tracks are clearly marked according to difficulty, providing something for riders of all skill levels.
Your Rotorua car hire can take you to the forest to fill in an hour or a day – with family or friends, beginners or experts. You’ll see lush native ferns thriving under the canopies of soaring Redwood, Radiata Pine, Douglas Fir, Eucalyptus and Larch trees. From time to time you can also glimpse some of the exquisite beauty of Rotorua’s sparkling lakes and geothermal activity as you weave your way between the trees.
