Hawke’s Bay is a region made for cycling. Kilometres of well-maintained trails, gorgeous landscapes and plenty of opportunities to stop and refuel make cycling the ultimate way to get around! Take a gentle half-hour spin along the coast, or a four-day exploration of our back-country roads, or something in between. The climate is ideal for year-round exploring, and almost any type of bike can be hired. There is also a cellar door at nearly every destination, should your ride leave you a little parched!
The Hawke’s Bay Trails
The Hawke’s Bay Trails – one of New Zealand’s official Great Rides – connects award-winning wineries, unique cafés, quaint country pubs and artisan outlets. The trails boast 200km of flat, easy-riding cycle trails across Napier and Hastings District, connecting local delights with expansive views and landscapes. Not to be outdone, both Central Hawke’s Bay and Wairoa have their own network of easy-riding cycle trails as well.
