From NZD $720.00
  • Duration: 1 Days (approx.)
  • Product code: AATT

A genuine off-the-beaten-track adventure, deep in the forested heart of the North Island. Quickly establishing itself as one of the most highly rated 2-day rides in New Zealand, the Timber Trail is a superb blend of exciting biking along a purpose built track and ease of use. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but you can enjoy very comfortable accommodation and great dining, and we organise all your transportation too!


  • 2 nights cosy lodge accommodation on trail in en-suite room plus dinners, breakfasts and packed lunches included. 
  • Luggage transfers included. 
  • Transportation included.
  • Standard or Electric Mountain bike hire available.

Day One: Shuttle to Timber Trail Lodge. Park your vehicle at Ongarue (the end of the trail) in the late afternoon, pick up rental bikes if necessary. A shuttle will then take you out your accomodation in the forest at Timber Trail Lodge where you can enjoy some great food and relaxation time - a perfect preparation for hitting the trail the next day!

Day Two: Pureora to Piropiro Flats (40km). After breakfast a shuttle takes you to the start of the trail at Pureora. From here you wind your way through the bird-filled, virgin forest and start the gradual climb up the flanks of Mt Pureora to the trail’s highpoint, 971m above sea level. It’s then predominantly downhill for the rest of the day as the trail winds down the southern side of the mountain. This is also where you first encounter the trail’s amazing suspension bridges. At Piropiro Flats you reach Timber Trail Lodge for your second night.

Day Three: Piropiro Flats to Ongarue (45km). Your second day on the trail heads off on a logging road before re-entering native forest on a flowing section of mostly uphill singletrack. Shortly you will reach the Maramataha Suspension Bridge: At 141m long and 53m high it’s the biggest of the trail and also a jolt of adrenaline as you sway across the tumbling gorge. A bit more steady climbing brings you to the Ongarue Tramway terminus and from here the trail follows the old tramway in a generally downhill direction and along the way you’ll see remnants of the area’s logging past, including that amazing Ongarue Spiral. At the end of the trail you can collect your luggage, drop off rental bikes if you have them, and your vehicle will be waiting for you.
