Waitangi Mountain Bike Park
The Waitangi Mountain Bike Park is located in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the Bay of Islands. It provides the perfect all round option for mountain biking for any time of the year with a mix of easy, scenic trails that you can take at your own pace as well as some hardcore riding for those shredders out there.
It currently offers almost 50km of varying difficulty trails with great flow and features, from downhill riding, jump trails, cross country and beginner trails. The trails cater to all levels of ability from beginners to advanced riders. There are plenty of fast, flowing berms, rollers and jumps. Grade 2 and 3 runs are so well built, they’re still fun for more expert riders...some of the best in New Zealand!
