Guided Scenic E-Bike Ride – 4 Hours

Discover the beauty of the Bay of Islands at a relaxed, enjoyable pace on our 4-hour Guided Scenic E-Bike Ride. Designed for cruise ship passengers and visitors wanting a stunning, active experience rather than an adrenaline rush, this tour showcases the very best of Paihia, Waitangi, and the surrounding coastline.

Departing the wharf at 10am, we begin with a gentle ride along the peaceful Scenic Drive, following the shoreline as the views open up across sparkling blue waters. We then make our way past the Waitangi Golf Course, where you’ll enjoy elevated panoramas stretching across the Bay of Islands – a perfect spot for photos and a chance to soak in the landscape.

From here, your guide will lead you into the Waitangi Forest, taking you on easy, family-friendly trails that wind through native bush, towering pines, and pockets of serene birdlife. These easy Grade 2 trails are suitable for riders who are confident off-road with the odd root or rock on gently undulating trails, and offer a wonderful way to experience nature without too much technical difficulty. There is always the option to get off and push in the more challenging sections. 

Midway through the ride, we’ll stop at Pikiniki Café, known for its breathtaking views and relaxed outdoor atmosphere. Take 30 minutes to grab a coffee, tea, or a light snack (purchases optional), and enjoy one of the best outlooks in the Bay.

We finish with a scenic cruise back to Paihia, returning to the wharf by 2pm.

A perfect blend of gentle adventure, beauty, and local storytelling.
