This is the ultimate tour of the Twin Coast Cycle Trail - with Standard Bike

A total of 87 kms from the Bay of Islands in the east to the Hokianga harbour on the west coast.

Moderate fitness is needed as the section from Okaihau to Maungunu Mission is a grade 3 trail but the rest is grade 1-2

It follows both historic rail and walking pathways through the estuary, bush, towns, and rural settings and includes a boardwalk over wetlands.

Arrive in Kaikohe both mornings to start your cycle and you will be picked up  each afternoon by shuttle and returned to Kaikohe - one day from the Eastern side and the other day from Western side  Horeke / Mangungu

We recommend cycling the trail this way as Kaikohe, in the centre of the track, is the highest point and so the majority of your cycle is downhill

Meet at our base 39 Rankin Street Kaikohe to pick up your bike 9-10 am. Let us know on the first morning whether you will be bringing your bike back to the depot overnight or keeping it with you in a secure place.
