Planet Bike is a small, friendly company, based in the action packed center of the North Island - Rotorua! A cycle friendly town famous for its geothermal activity from boiling mud pools to huge geysers. Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet... 'the best single track ever' is what Gary Fisher had to say. Surrounded by forest, there are 40 kilometers of purpose-built single track on your doorstep, beautiful lakes to cycle to and spectacular rides through thermal areas.
Planet Bike has the highest standards in service and safety so you can relax and enjoy your ride. Guides are first-aid trained, skilled mechanics and love biking! They'll make sure your ride is what you want.
At least three to seven days is recommended in Rotorua, the cultural heart of New Zealand - but if you're a mountain biker you had better make it a couple of weeks! Planet Bike can arrange all your accommodations, transport and sightseeing requirements. They are on site at Whakarewarewa Forest where the best trails start.
Rotorua is the largest town on what has become known in recent years as the Adventure Plateau. It's the action-packed center of the North Island, where everything is possible! Activities range from bungy jumping to jet boating, sky diving to white water rafting. It has some of the best trout fishing in the world, and of course fabulous all year mountain biking to die for. Whakarewarewa Forest, within walking distance from town, has 40km of purpose-built single track, spectacular native and exotic forest, views and much more. Rotorua is also home to the Te Arawa tribe, and Maori make up almost 50% of the population and own much of the land in the surrounding area. Being a truly bicultural town makes this a very special and fascinating place to visit.
You can combine mountain biking with any sport or adventure that Rotorua offers. There are so many exciting activities available, it would be impossible to list them all. Suffice to say you could do anything, from white water rafting to horse riding; kayaking to indoor climbing; sledging to tandem sky diving - the choice is yours!
