< SEE ALL TRAILS

Recommended duration for hire: 2 - 4 hours

DISTANCE: 50km of trails to choose from

ABILITY: Intermediate - Advanced Level

Craters Of The Moon Mountain Bike Park is directly opposite our shop and can be accessed through a tunnel under the main road. This is the main Mountain Bike Park in Taupo and is renowned as one of the best Mountain Bike Parks in New Zealand. The park has about 50km (30 miles) of trails to suit all skill levels with about 400m elevation from top to bottom. The trails are through pine and eucalyptus plantations. The volcanic pumice soils allow for year round riding as it quickly drains away any water.

The trails are maintained by a not-for-profit trust called Bike Taupo and you have to pay to ride the park. However, all of our hire bikes include this fee.
