TWO GREAT RIDES.
ONE EASY ESCAPE.
Ride forests. Rivers. Mountains. This winter.
Welcome to the heart of New Zealand’s cycling adventure.
Just a few hours from the lower North Island, two of New Zealand’s Great Rides are waiting — Timber Trail NZ and Mountains to Sea – Ngā Ara Tūhono.
From ancient forests and spectacular suspension bridges to mountain landscapes, river journeys and welcoming small towns, this is the perfect place to escape, recharge and explore by bike.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed scenic ride, a family weekend away, or a bucket-list multi-day adventure, there’s an experience here for every kind of rider.
The Timber Trail and Mountains to Sea are linked by the landscapes and stories of the Central North Island — connected by the mighty Whanganui River from the high country to the sea.
