G. K.

My new favorite place to ride. Awesome, well maintained and flowing single track. Most of the track is sheltered from the sun and is very well marked.

A. K.

Its a must to do when you’re in Paihia, trail is been looked after and lots of trail options from beginners to advance,you can hire bikes/Ebike, shuttle bus friendly and helpful we haven’t used the shuttle but they help us to navigate. Definitely recommend the shuttle so you can enjoy the downhills. Nice cafe with great food to fill up your tommy or simply an ice cream and coffee after you finish your ride,very welcoming staff and lovely people.

M. T.

An absolutely amazing bike park. So many trails from beginner to expert, even when the bike park is full you never run into anyone else on the trails because there are so many options. Beautiful scenery with the best bike hire and cafe available. Service, chat, food, drink all 10/10. Make sure it is on your list of things to experience in the bay of islands, you won't regret it!

R. H.

Flowing trails for all skill levels and fitness. Always a pleasure to ride at Waitangi and the cafe rocks!!

J. R.

We loved our first experience on the Waitangi MB Park. Such great rides and good variety of track. We loved the loop tracks with their clever doable uphills and long flowing downhill runs. Easy to spend 2 hours there no probs! We'll be back!

M. B.

Cycling at the Mountain Bike Park 3-4 times a week. We are very lucky to have such a great facility on our doorstep. This afternoon I saw a Morepork other times wild pigs, peacocks, hedgehogs, its amazing, I can even cycle through the forest to Kerikeri! What’s stopping you?

C. R.

Great park great people. Always worth a visit when we’re north.

T. F.

Great place, with cool trails!

J. H.

Absolutely Awesome, some of the best purpose built Mountain Bike Trails I have ever ridden. We spent 3 hours riding in the morning and another 3 in the afternoon. Fav trails, Aotearoa, Magic Carpet and Rollercoaster. Even the climbing trails are beautifully crafted and great to ride!. Get up there Peeps and enjoy.

A. B.

Great facilities with cafe and pump track. The tracks are varied and range from easy to very challenging. They are well formed and well maintained by the Mountain Bike Club. You must register with the club to ride. Well worth it.

G. G.

The tracks are well maintained. The guys of the store are very helpful, they gave you tips to the tracks you might like. They have shuttle bus if you want to do downhill only. Highly recommend it if you have kids.

J. S.

Nice environment. Nice tracks. I hadn't time to explore properly but I will definitely go back to check the rest of the tracks.

C. R.

I admit I'm a bit spoilt for choice growing up in Wellington and was a little sceptical about how how good a park could be in a place with relatively little elevation change, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Every trail I went on was immaculately maintained, clean and clearly signposted with both direction and name. I took Holland Days, Hua Link and Taane's Climb up. That climb isn't difficult but even advanced racers would find it excellent for a speed climb. Then took Te Ara Kaanihi (intermediate) and Te Aranga Hou (advanced) down. Advanced might be pushing it for highly skilled riders but damn those jumps are amazingly well built. There's something for everyone here, no doubt about it. Everyone with an interest in MTB needs to put the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park on their bucket list. You won't be disappointed. Photos are of Holland Days, a bit of Taane's Climb, near the top and the top of Kiwi Flow.

J. R.

So many fun trails! Good for beginners and wasnt many people when we went so had a lot of tracks to ourselves. Staff are so lovely to chat too, thanks for guiding my lost friend back over the phone haha 😂

A. F.

Great park with excellent trails, helpful and friendly staff, good food options, shuttles, couldn’t have been happier with our visit. Will definitely be back.

T.

Great work these trail builders have put into this, greatly surpassed what I had expected especially conditions for winter. Definitley has trails to get the adrenalin flowing. Allthough short on the down hill runs the design of the return uphill to these are easy. This park has a lot of fun rollers and several trails with good table top jumps. Place is well sign posted. Would suit all types of riders. Good place to learn jumps as it caters young kids to advanced riders.

A. C.

This place is amazing what a fantastic asset for the local community.. the staff were awesome. Tracks to suit all ages and experience... highly recommend...

L. J.

Best MTB Park I’ve been to in ages. Small but well designed and maintained. Nothing much extreme but loads for beginners. Check it out!

B. P.

Amazing trails, something for everyone. Great to finally ride somewhere in nz that is wet. The new mtb centre is almost open at the main car park, when it is this will rival rotorua as a premier mtb in the North Island imo.

R. G.

What an absolutely amazing place to shred some awesome tracks. So many to choose from too. There is a cafe and the bikes hop run by the legendary Jonny. We'll over 50 Kms of adrenaline.

F. G.

Awesome trails! Well set up park with lots of fun tracks (with Kunekune and waitangi roller coaster as firm favourites!). Would be nice to have a bike wash down station but otherwise an excellent mtb park

M. N.

Awesome trail network, something for everyone and views to boot.

M. B.

Awesome Mtb park - maze of trails with plenty of options, well sign posted & graded - obviously well loved & maintained tracks 3-4km from Paihia Mtb hire, solid gravel climb back out from the car park then a pretty scenic ride along the road / path

A. V.

If you are a mountain biker, you cant not try this park if you are in the area! Trails are well maintained and more trails being built. A great variety of trails (although could have some more black trails). Some well designed tracks. Great signage which is perfect if you are new to the park. Take a map!

M. P.

The tracks are cool but the team are awesome! Always greeted with a friendly smile! Cafe is a great spot for a refreshment before heading home. Keep up the great work!

M. S.

Simply astonishing. Great rides, wonderful views, nice stuff, cheap entrance. I loved it

C. T.

Epic place to ride trail's are always in good nick and the people who run the place and the locals are so friendly and very welcoming

L. S.

Fantastic trails suitable for everyone. My son is a new rider and he enjoyed almost all of it.

S. N.

Fantastic afternoon for all of us from 12 to 54 year old x we loved every minute x lovely engagement in emails and great service at park ! Coffee great too x thanks guys we will be back !!

S. F.

An awesome place to use all of your MTB skills. Well set out trails and a great facility for the region! Huge thanks to Johnny from Paihia MTB Hire for setting me up - a top operator with great equipment and advice!

N. P.

Love it! Great trails, well signposted and with a good map, easily worth the annual donation or single day donation if you're just passing through. Great views from the small cafe for a post ride coffee too. The only thing it needs is a bottle refill tap and it would be perfect.

G. D.

50km of Great trails. On par if not slighly better riding than woodhill. Def worth a visit for beginner and intermediate riders.

K. K.

Beautiful spot and great for kids. Super friendly staff

C. K.

Epic. Great condition trails for all levels and super well sign posted.

S. D.

Awesome service, great gear for hire, great tracks and spectacular views.

h. l.

This relatively new bike park is awesome, it offers a great day out for the family or just a solo mission. The mechanic there is great! super friendly and helpful, I had an issue with my chain upon arrival and he fixed it straight away for me so I could go and enjoy my ride. The park is clay based so expect to get muddy and at certain times of the year the trails will be extremely slippery. However the novice trails are mostly covered in gravel so perfect for newbies and kids. Wish it had bike wash facilities but there only on tank water so can understand why there isn't.

k. t.

Purchased a fulk sus bike off johny and some pedals, rode my first e-bike there today thanks johny for allow me to trial one very impressive . Our sons do the trails they are awesome so much time and effort has gone in always a great vibe when ever we go . Highly recomend this place .

M. T.

Fun layout Great bites and food afterwards at container

K. B.

Awesome. We love this park. We visited on a weekday recently and experienced uphill riding (4 times) but have previously always taken the shuttle to the top (weekends) and enjoyed some downhill riding. Buy the 10 ride card.. worth it!!

P. W.

Great choice of well maintained and signposted trails of all levels. Reasonable price for access and shuttle to the top. Really helpful and friendly staff, especially the shuttle driver. Clean toilets. Great cafe. Wonderful overall. Better than Rotorua? Maybe!

a. “.

What a fantastic place to ride. Went as a family outing on boxing day. Awesome trails in a beautiful location. My 6 year old son had a blast. The pump track is a lot of fun too. Will definitely return for more.

L. D.

Arrived at the park this morning to find it closed. Luckily our friends and us had our bikes with us and as your sign said that we could use the park, we did. Thank you so much. We'd come from the Far North and our friends from the other direction none of us fancied turning round and going home. My first experience in a mountain bike park, I'm 66. Only did the level 2s. Getting to know our new e-bikes. We'll be back. I need the practice, lol. Thanks for not turning us away.

T. H.

Great afternoon with the kids. We only did the basic 'green' trails, suitable for beginners. Great trails, well made. Sufficiently challenging for newbies to feel they accomplished something. The cafe provide simple food & a good range of drinks...perfect for after a ride.

K. C.

Awesome place. We loved our first experience MTB as a family here, the tracks were great and we all had a blast and will be back

T. C.

If you’re looking for a great family day adventure, this is it. My first time today as a 61 yr old Mum with agile 15 yr old and Dad, as track veterans (well they’ve been once before)! I was a bit grumpy as family had built up undue worry re my fitness. Step in amazing friendly hire bike man (sorry didn’t ask his name) who provided me with e-bike and great instructions for riding that became instantly intuitive (he said it would). We did extensive Grade 2 tracks, which were challenging for me, especially series of moguls followed by downhill turns, but it was such a buzz. Such a beautiful serene place, apart from a noisey bull or 2 and long distant views over the Bay of Islands. Yes there’s an expense involved, but for us it was a really really cool day out. Staff so helpful with a happy buzz from trail riders. As Arnie said:- “I will be back”!

R.

Loving this place. Only a novice started a handful of weeks ago. Found tracks to suit my level and working my way up to intermediate track toady. Park has great maps very easy to follow and is well sign posted all around the trails. Awesome bikes on hire at the park from Paihia Mountain bike rentals. Best rental bikes in the country. Coffee and good food at the cafe . An around great experience.

S. H.

Great trails. Well designed uphill and downhills. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff and mechanic on site. Well signed and explained tracks. We'll be back again and again and again

M. P.

Amazing park and the staff here are brilliant. Thanks for a great day.

M. C.

Fun trails snd well sign posted. My only criticism is that the on-site cafe closes at 1pm, so I just missed being able to get a post-ride smoothie

R. S.

Good trails and well maintained

I. R.

We were two confident mountain bikers and one fit-but-haven’t-ridden-for-years teenage tourist. Great rides. Easy options still provide variety and riding through cool pine plantations on a hot day is a bonus . Hard out trails available too. Compares very favorably to Woodhill bike park south of Helensville.

A.

Beautiful tracks; well maintained & sign-posted, great for beginners - like me - and fitness freaks - like my son. Staff are extremely helpful & knowledgeable.

b. d.

Great bike park similar to craters in Taupo

k. k.

Brilliant, I'm a beginner and the tracks were fun. The bikes were really good quality and all the staff were super friendly and happy to help out. Thanks for the experience guys!

C. M. S.

Well made, designed and maintained tracks. Good range of downhill options with lots of fast flowing corners and jumps. A bit of climbing to get back to the top each time but it was worth it

G. D.

Great trails for all skill levels and all weather. Went with the kids for 2 days riding, but had to sneak an extra dad ride in too. Awesome fun and well worth the visit.

D. C.

Didn't use the track myself but it has full facilities including bike and equipment hire, a shuttle bus in case you run out of puff, track grades from level 2 - 5, and even a mechanic for technucal issues.

M. L.

Great adrenaline fuelled experience. However the trail difficulties I believe we're not adequately graded. The easy trails were definitely not as they described. Particularly in drenching rain.

S. s.

Well maintained bike tracks for all abilities. Loved the kiwi flow as I am a beginner.

A. R.

Awesome park and friendly staff

R. J.

Awesome tracks... So much fun and very helpful and friendly staff!

J. E.

Fantastic place to go. Caters for all abilities and is lots of fun. Really impressed with the set up and helpful and friendly staff. Tauhana was excellent. Would totally recommend as a must do.

K. A.

Good range of tracks to suit the whole family. Wairiki track is nudging on grade 2 to 3. Very easy ride into tracks. Cafe has the best view looking out to the sea of BOI.

R. C.

Great bike park. Trails are mint. Nice variety of skills and terrain.

G. C.

Brilliant tracks notably Te Ara Kaanihi (very bumpy and fast paced), spectacular views, definelty worth going but the tracks aren't easy, you'll need good physical endurance to make the most of it. A downside is that once you ride a intermediate+ track you have to ride quite a substantial distance back to reach another track (most of them are located at one place)

S. R.

Had heaps of fun with my mates @ bodytrainer. Loved the climbs

G. B.

We had a great morning out riding around the park. We would highly recommend this activity.

R. B.

(Translated) It is a wonderful mountain bike park that you can never experience in Japan. If you rent an electric bicycle, there is no doubt that it will be an even better experience. Bicycle activities in Paihia may not be an option, but there is no such fun experience. The facilities are clean in the cafe and staff Johnny is very kind. I think that it is a place that can be enjoyed by beginners to advanced players a day. Awesome! I have never experienced such a great MTB park.Highly recommend for tourists and all riders. I hired e-MTB, probably MERIDA full suspension eOne sixty 800, Shimano steps was very nice.I run so many beautiful scenic courses over 25km just one day. This mountain bike park is good for all level riders.And of course, one of shop staffs Johnny was very kind. I hope that many people visit the park and enjoy to ride MTB! I would like to visit again. Thank you very much. (Original) 日本では絶対体験できない素晴らしいマウンテンバイクパークです。電動自転車を借りればさらに素敵な体験になること間違いなし。パイヒアで自転車のアクティビティーはあまり選択肢にないかもしれませんが、こんな楽しい体験はないです。設備もカフェ併設できれいですし、スタッフのジョニーさんはとっても親切。初心者～上級者まで1日本当に楽しめる所だと思います。 Awesome! I have never experienced such a great MTB park. Highly recommend for tourists and all riders. Actually I am a tourist from overseas(Japan) and beginner level though, this park is one of the best places to enjoy to stay in New Zealand. I hired e-MTB, probably MERIDA full suspension eOne sixty 800, Shimano steps was very nice. I run so many beautiful scenic courses over 25km just one day. This mountain bike park is good for all level riders. And of course, one of shop staffs Johnny was very kind. I hope that many people visit the park and enjoy to ride MTB! I would like to visit again. Thank you very much.

(Translated) Recommended! Beautifully landscaped mountain bike park. There is a lot to find for all levels! You can bring your own bike, or for NZ $ 79 dollars you can rent a bike with full suspension, and for NZ $ 129 an electric, which will help you enormously with cycling up in the park. You can also use a shuttle service to take you up again (for an additional payment). Park is brand new, super clear marked routes. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cafe present with delicious fresh smoothies, sandwiches, coffee etcetera. Don't have a car to get to the park? Give them a call, they want to pick you up from the center of Paihia! (Wifi available at the cafe, ask for the code!) (Original) Aanrader! Prachtig aangelegd mountainbikepark. Voor alle niveaus is er enorm veel te vinden! Je kan je eigen bike meenemen, of voor NZ$79 dollar kan je een bike met full suspension huren, en voor NZ$129 een elektrische, die je enorm helpt met omhoog fietsen in het park. Ook kan je gebruik maken van een shuttleservice om je weer omhoog te brengen (tegen extra betaling). Park is gloednieuw, super duidelijke aangegeven routes. Personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Cafeetje aanwezig met heerlijke verse smoothies, broodjes, koffie etcetera. Heb je geen auto om bij het park te komen? Bel ze even op, vanuit het centrum van Paihia willen ze je prima ophalen! (Wifi aanwezig bij het café, vraag even om de code!)

(Translated) A charming place for all levels not too difficult for beginners and up (Original) מקום מקסים לכול הרמות לא קשה מידי למתחילים ומעלה
