Kaimanawa Heli-Biking

The Lake Taupo region offers some of the most pristine and challenging mountain biking in New Zealand. Kaimanawa Heli-Biking takes you into the heart of the isolated and untouched wilderness of the Central North Island - riding there is of an entirely different world. Soak up the fresh air and let your heart pound when hammering the single-track or just sit back and take your time on your trip downhill.

You start with an exhilarating helicopter flight over a spectacular landscape of bush, tussock and mountain rivers, taking you to a destination where you could only get to otherwise by foot - and that would take you three days!

Once at the summit of the trail, you head down the magnificent 10km purpose built track, covering a vertical drop of 2500 ft, surrounded by sheer beauty and epic views of the Tongariro National Park.
