Impressive work

Everyone loves a before & after shot 🙌

We’ve been loving the progress Logan Jensen] has been making on the DH Track and seeing our local Groms showing us how to ride it!

Huge kudos goes to Logan for establishing a solid relationship with key stakeholders in the forest, including & Timberlands and making this refurbishment a possibility! Some epic mahi has been put in behind the scenes for sure.

There are loads of new features so what do they say? Pre-Ride, Re-Ride & Free-Ride 🤘

Little before and after.
Huge shout out to our Rotorua Council for making this happen.

I've got heaps of photos I need to get through but here's the dirty dingo road crossing jump.

The rest of the trail is still closed due to branches needing to be moved off. But due to open again soon

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to live the dream with a trout fishing trip at the Fidgety Fantail Lake Tarawera l to shake their covid blues away .... ( remember you can fish from the shoreline ..)

From NZ fish and game ...

Opening dates set to change for lakes Tarawera, Rotoiti and Okataina

The traditional opening dates for lakes Tarawera, Rotoiti and Okataina are set to change for the new season. While the new fishing season will commence on the 1st of October as always, lakes Tarawera, Rotoiti and Okataina won’t be open until the Saturday following, which this year will be Saturday the 2nd. This regulation excludes the winter shoreline areas which remain open all year to shore based fly and spin fishing.

The Eastern Fish and Game Council has introduced the change so that anglers who normally work weekdays will be able to enjoy the opening more often, and by having it on the weekend hope that it will create more of a carnival atmosphere for all.

The rest of the Rotorua lakes will open on the 1st (Friday) as normal, as will many of the rivers and streams throughout the country. Anglers are reminded to check their new season regulation guides provided with their licence or available on-line from the Fish & Game web page.

Also one more thing Rotorua is springing back into life just had this through from Mountain Bike Rotorua ....

WE'RE BACK!!!

Gosh it's been a long two months and we just have to say that we are proud as punch of what has been achieved in smashing Covid-19. There's still a little more to go yet but play our cards right and we may very well kick this thing out of the country completely... only time will tell.


We are super stoked to announce we will be back up and running with all services on Saturday. However there are a number of changes we have had to make to both give us the best chance of making it through the Covid-19 Crisis with all of our whanau and to comply with the Ministry of Health rules and guidelines;

Redwoods and Waipa Cafes
Redwoods - 10am - 3pm 7 days
Waipa - 9am - 4pm 7 days

All takeaway as per our standard operations. We will have contact tracing methods in place which all visitors to site must adhere to. There will likely be a QR Code scanning option at point of sale or doorways and a manual sign in sheet with hand sanitiser for protection after using the pen and paper.

Skyline Bike Hire
Skyline Opens Saturday and bookings MUST be made in advance as bikes will only be available on demand. Email [email protected]

Waipa Bike Hire

As with the cafes, contact tracing systems will be in place.

Public Shuttles

Contact tracing systems, like the cafe, will be in place.
Social distancing of 1m between groups is required.
In line with the transport industry, we will operate window seats only which means effective half capacity.
We will run a trust based system where clients will clip their own tickets. Please be honest.
Vehicles are sanitised daily.

Private Shuttle Charters
Available 24/7

Contact tracing systems in place.
Only single groups as per usual.
We will not be allowing front seat passengers until further notice. This is over and above standard practice and will be reviewed regularly.
Battle Waka will have a maximum 3 people
Squad Waka will still have a maximum 7 people, all will be seated in the rear.
Bookings can be made from now via email only; [email protected]

Bike Servicing

All Tours and Skills Sessions
On demand based on availability 7 days.

This includes bike tours, hiking tours, rafting, kayaking and more!
To enquire or book please email [email protected]

We are super stoked to get rolling again and are very hopeful it will be enough to keep our entire team on.

We will be reviewing all operations weekly and if the demand dictates, we will increase services in those areas. On the flip side, if there isn't demand, we will have to reduce hours.

We hope to see as many of you out there as possible and wish everyone all the best as we all try and get back to as normal a life as possible.
