If you’re after an easy rolling ride through sand dunes with views of the ocean and islands, and plenty of places to swim or picnic on a wide-open beach, you’ll love the 9-kilometre Dunes Trail. If you’re keen on a quiet historic road climbing through forested, rugged high country to the remote villages of Motu and Matawai, you’ll be rewarded on the 67-kilometre Motu Road. If you’re an advanced biker, you’ll savour the single-track wilderness of the 20-kilometre historic Pakihi Track, winding downhill through dense rimu and nikau-rich forest, mossy side streams, gushing waterfalls and along the Pakihi stream. And if you’re seeking an on-road journey through high-country farmland, forests and vineyards, you’ll love Tairāwhiti’s gorgeous Heartland Ride, the Rere Falls Trail.  

The trails can be linked together into an epic multi day loop or out-and-back, or you can experience them separately in half-days or full-days according to ability and preference.
