What To Expect

During this full-day private shuttle experience, you'll explore the legendary Wairoa Gorge—a mountain biker's paradise originally built by American billionaire Ken Dart. You'll conquer up to 5 full-sized runs on this exclusive 70km network of meticulously hand-crafted singletrack, with each top-to-bottom run offering a thrilling 1000m descent through pristine native bush.

Unlike rigid public shuttle schedules, your private driver waits for you—allowing time to session features, take photos, and ride at your own pace. You'll benefit from expert trail recommendations tailored to your ability level, with strategic run planning to experience the park's best offerings across its diverse range of trails (21% Grade 3, 52% Grade 4, 23% Grade 5, and 4% Grade 6).

Your day includes door-to-door transportation from Nelson, comfortable shuttle service throughout the gorge, and the flexibility to mix half and full runs to maximize your vertical descent. Whether you're a first-timer or returning for a second conquest, this premium experience delivers the ultimate day of world-class mountain biking.
