This trail starts from the Railway Station, National Park Village and after a short 3km uphill, then descends for over 10km giving you stunning views and quality downhill mountain biking. The final 14km of this trail takes you past Retaruke Station and finishes on the Upper Retaruke Road and Oio Road intersection where toilets are available. There is also an old monument at this intersection!
We recommend you leave your vehicle at the Monument and we will shuttle you to the start the track.(preferred option due to lack of shelter and cellphone coverage at the monument) or transport from the Monument back to National Park Village at pre arranged time subject to our availability. Note additional surcharge maybe applied due to availability.
Please allow 2-3 hours to complete this trail.
Terms and Conditions
We suggest you send us a text or call before you turn off of State Highway 4 to the Kaitieke memorial which is our pick up point, due to limited and loss of cellphone signal within a couple kms the junction. Otherwise there is no signal and no way to notify us or notify you of any delays. If you requested a shuttle and we are waiting beyond the agreed time a late service levy will be applied.
