Alps 2 Ocean mountain bike ride, central Otago, Section 2
View in 1080p HD. First day of the alps to ocean. We cut out the first part of the first section that requires a helicopter/boat shuttle. Started down Braemar Mount Cook station road - Through to Twizel. Awesome weather on the first day with no wind and a glassy lake pukaki. As the driver I leap frogged with a car and rode back.
Days 2 - 4 are coming! I will put them up when I have finished editing

Waihaha (Great Lake Trail) Mountain Bike Trail Guide Video, Great Lake Taupo, New Zealand
The Waihaha Trail is set deep in the bush of Taupo’s western bays. It features rich native bush, towering volcanic rock cliffs and a waterfall hidden deep in the Waihaha Valley.
It is a well-drained, grade 3 trail that is 11km long. The trail is a mix of uphill climbs and downhill cruises, with some flat sections. Riders with moderate levels of fitness can expect to complete the ride in 2-3 hours.
Getting There :
From Taupo, drive 54kms to the Waihaha River Bridge on Western Bay Road. The track starts from the car park at the southern end of the bridge.
The trail follows the river for a few hundred metres before it crosses the river on a swing bridge. It then gently climbs up the cliffs, following the course of the river to a lookout with views of the Waihaha Valley and waterfall, as well as panoramic views of Lake Taupo to the north and east.
You’ll continue along to the trail end where you will be picked up by your pre-arranged shuttle service, or make the return ride back to your car.
Those with good fitness levels can continue on to the Waihora Trail, a further 17km to the lake edge of Waihora Bay. Here a pre-booked water taxi can ferry you to Kawakawa Bay or Kinloch.

Top Trails - Twin coast Cycle Trail
Tongariro River Trail Mountain Bike Trail Guide Video, Great Lake Taupo, New Zealand
The Tongariro River Trail is a relaxing ride, along one of the North Island’s most popular rivers.
It is perfectly suited for families and casual riders seeking to explore the native bush and clear waters of the river, without having to ride a long distance.
The track is a grade 2 trail on mostly flat terrain, making it suitable for children and beginner riders to enjoy.
It’s a 15km loop track of undulating, yet comfortable ground, which will take a family a couple of hours to complete (or close to an hour for more experienced riders).
Getting There :
The trail begins at the car park next to the Tongariro River Bridge on State Highway 1 in Turangi, where you can park your car. Alternatively you can take a shuttle service from Taupo or Turangi to the trail head.
There are alternative starting points along the trail where you can park your car at the scenic reserves and begin your ride from there. This means shorter routes can be tailored to suit your particular needs. Contact the Turangi i-SITE or one of the shuttle services who will help you customize the best drop off and pick up point for you.
The trail has a variety of scenic locations to stop off at for a picnic lunch, or even a quick dip in the river to cool off during the hot summer months.
The Tongariro National Trout Centre is also on route, where you can get up close to the beautiful trout which inhabit the Tongariro River, or view the endangered native Whio (Blue Duck) at the newly purpose-built hardening facillity.
The trail can be ridden in all weather conditions and mobile phone coverage is good throughout the ride.

Tree Trunk Gorge Mountain Bike Trail Guide Video, Great Lake Taupo, New Zealand
The Tree Trunk Gorge trail will take you on a picturesque journey through the Kaimanawa Forest Park. It passes through classic central North Island beech forest, across streams and rivers and over two impressive gorges as it tracks along the upper section of the Tongariro River.
A grade 4 trail, it is most suited to experienced riders and intermediate riders seeking a challenge. 7km long, the trail can be ridden as a point to point ride with pre-arranged shuttles providing transport; or as a 14km round trip if you’re using your own transport.
Getting There :
The trail is located within the Kaimanawa Forest Park, just an hour’s drive south of Taupo and 15 minutes south of Turangi. It is easily accessed via Kaimanawa Road, just off State Highway 1.
Car parking is available at the northern end of the trail, at The Pillars of Hercules; or at the southern end, off Tree Trunk Gorge Road. Alternatively there are shuttle services available from either Taupo or Turangi.
Starting from the northern end, the trail begins with a challenging climb for a kilometer before evening out to reveal beautiful river fords and wooden bridges as you ride up the river. The last part of the trail is made up of a steep technical descent followed by a challenging climb.
The track is best enjoyed in fairer weather conditions and be prepared as the river crossings can be cold during the winter.
Please note: there is only limited mobile phone reception on the trail. Upon reaching the end at the Pillars of Hercules, you can turn around and ride back to get the best of both worlds, or have your pre-arranged shuttle meet you there and return you to your car.
