The trails of Hawkes Bay are as simple to explore through bike as they are to discover by horse or foot. The region is considerably spacious making it an immense playground for bike lovers. Both expert and amateur bikers will find trails to fit their biking needs, from a few hours to a few days. You can check out Te Mata Peak for a real downhill challenge.
Horse trek through the rolling hills:
Hawke’s Bay is a wonderful backyard if you love horse riding. The stretching paths through the wineries & the rolling hills are an ideal playground for horse riders of any skill level – not too easy; not too challenging; just how you like it.
