The Waihaha Trail offers an exciting Grade 3 mountain biking experience that takes riders through some of the most scenic and remote parts of the Western Bays. Because this trail requires solid riding skills and confidence, it is highly recommended to call ahead when planning your water taxi transfer so you can get the latest trail and weather updates. After completing the trail and arriving at Waihora, the Taxicat will take you on a short and scenic cruise, giving you the chance to enjoy a few hidden gems along the northern end of the Western Bays before continuing on toward Kinloch township. The combination of rugged terrain, peaceful waters, and dramatic landscapes makes this journey an unforgettable way to explore the region.
For those who want to continue their adventure, the crew can drop you off at Kawakawa Bay on the way past, allowing you to ride the Kawakawa Bay to Kinloch section and complete the full journey by bike. The Great Lake Supervolcanic Trails are celebrated as one of New Zealand’s 22 Great Rides and form part of the Nga Haerenga national cycle trail network. These all-season routes offer a diverse backdrop of lush forest, quiet wetlands, tumbling waterfalls, sheltered beaches, volcanic gorges, and panoramic viewpoints. Riders can find more details and make further arrangements through the partner links provided.
