Twin Coast Bike Hike and Splash

Discover the history and beauty that surrounds the Twin Coast Cycle Trail between Pahia & the Pacific Ocean on the east, & the Hokianga Harbour on the west. 

The 87km trail follows the path of long-gone railways, logging trams & water races from the mining days, weaving its way through estuarys edged with mangroves, across graceful suspension bridges & rolling farmland. 
In true Northland style, the trail is scattered with hidden gems, including the famous mosaic Huntervasser toilets, an 80m tunnel & classic Kiwi pubs. 

Our expert guides will show you the best highlights on and off the trail including a ferry to Russel & walk up Flagstaff Hill, a visit to the Te Rito Marae & the opportunity to explore the Bay of Islands by kayak, paddleboard or jet ski. 

Character-filled towns, atmospheric accommodation and friendly welcomes are all part of the package, as is the passion and local knowledge of our crew. Being invited onto a marae is always a special experience and our visit to Te Rito Marae gives us the opportunity to meet the local Hapu and learn about their history, place and people through evocative stories.
