Eastwoodhill to Gisborne Ride Showcases Nature, Scenic Cycling and Local Wine
A guided day experience in Tairāwhiti Gisborne is giving visitors the chance to combine nature, cycling and regional food and wine in one memorable journey. The adventure begins with a scenic transfer to Eastwoodhill Arboretum, where guests can explore more than 131 hectares of diverse landscapes and discover the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees in the Southern Hemisphere, established through the vision of Douglas Cook.
Visitors are free to explore the arboretum at their own pace, choosing from gentle tree-lined walking trails or the more demanding climb to the summit of Mt Arateitei. Those reaching the top are rewarded with sweeping panoramic views across the arboretum and the surrounding countryside, making it one of the region’s most picturesque vantage points. The peaceful setting provides a relaxing start before the day shifts into a more active adventure.
The return journey to Gisborne covers approximately 35 kilometres by bicycle, beginning with an exhilarating descent down Ngatapa Hill. Riders enjoy a fast-flowing downhill section before continuing across the scenic Poverty Bay Flats, an area renowned for its fertile farmland, open landscapes and thriving vineyards. The route combines rewarding cycling with constantly changing rural scenery.
The experience concludes with a visit to one of the region’s welcoming vineyard cellar doors, where participants can unwind with a guided wine tasting and a delicious vineyard platter. Blending outdoor recreation, natural beauty and local hospitality, the tour offers a well-rounded introduction to the landscapes and flavours that define the Tairāwhiti Gisborne region.
