You push through a fringe of rimu and tōtara and the forest opens to packed dirt, roots skimming past like the ribs of the land. The Redwoods' trails rise and fall in quick, surf-like sections; the e‑bike gives you the power to climb without losing momentum, and the forest seems to lean in, daring you to ride faster.

You push through a fringe of rimu and tōtara and the forest opens to packed dirt, roots skimming past like the ribs of the land. The Redwoods' trails rise and fall in quick, surf-like sections; the e‑bike gives you the power to climb without losing momentum, and the forest seems to lean in, daring you to ride faster.
The Whakarewarewa Forest (often called the Redwoods) grew as a state plantation in the early 20th century and carries an imprint of commercial forestry lines turned into trail arteries. Geologically, the Rotorua basin is young—volcanic soils and pumice overlie much of the area—so drainage is quick and the trails have a springy, grippy feel. Culturally, the forest sits beside geothermal settlements and Māori land, and visitors often pass interpretive signs about local iwi history near trailheads.
On this semi‑guided experience you’ll get fitted, ride with guides to local favorites, then explore independently within a supervised area; expect loop options from roughly 3–12 km and short climbs of 50–200 m. Terrain ranges from firm singletrack and bermed flow sections to rooty technical pitches; full‑suspension e‑bikes smooth the descents but require attention on switchbacks.
Practicalities: dress in layers, wear closed‑toe shoes, and bring a hydration pack—battery range is finite, and guides advise route choices to match charge and skill. The tour runs in most weather; mud and rain change braking and traction, so allow extra time. Leave no trace, stick to marked trails, and follow the guides’ safety briefings to make the most of a fast, accessible forest ride.
Riders must be at least 15 with a guardian or 18+ and 160 cm or taller due to e‑bike frame sizing.
You should be able to comfortably ride a bike and handle basic off‑road terrain; guides tailor route choices to skill level.
The tour operates in most conditions; heavy weather that makes trails unsafe may prompt changes, but standard cancellation is only within the provider's policy window.
Yes—helmets and the full‑suspension e‑bike are provided; bring your own gloves and shoes for best fit.
