1. Hauraki Rail Trail

We love this one because it's handy to Auckland which makes it perfect for a day trip! It's just over an hour south of Auckland, near the small town of Thames on the way to the Coromandel. From there, you can access the stunning Hauraki Rail Trail.

The traditional route takes you from Thames to Waihi, however, there are now five different sections to the trail covering 173km. The path takes you through the stunning Karagahake Gorge, one of New Zealand’s most spectacular sights and is well worth spending a few days exploring.and is well worth spending a few days exploring.

5. Central Otago Rail Trail

For our final biking destination, we have chosen the legendary Central Otago rail trail, which is explored annually by many different cyclists of various experience levels!

Covering 152kms from start to finish, the trail follows the former route of the Otago Central Railway. It was New Zealand’s first off-road cycleway and walking trail and continues to go from strength to strength. The compacted gravel pathway makes for super-easy cycling and there are no real steep hills on the trail making it ideal for beginners and recreational cyclists.
