Craters Mountain Bike Park
Taupō's purpose build Mountain bike park right on our doorstep with 55 kilometers of single track there is something for everyone.
Craters Mountain Bike Park is directly opposite our shop.
Craters Mountain Bike Park is a purpose-built mountain bike park with trails ranging from children’s entry level to technical cross country and downhill trails. With around 50km of bike trails to suit all abilities, there are plenty of options to choose from, allowing you to escape for just an hour or two or have a full day on the trails.
The Trails
The park has about 55km (34 miles) of trails to suit all skill levels with about 400m elevation from top to bottom. The trails are through pine and eucalyptus plantations. The volcanic pumice soils allow for year round riding as it quickly drains away any water.
The trails are maintained by a not-for-profit trust called Bike Taupo and you have to pay to ride the park. However, all of our hire bikes include this fee and you can ride in the park for free. The entry is at our shop, just ride through the underpass and excess the park.
Book a guided tour or hire a bike and make your own way around the park.
“Lovely people, great service and a hugely fun day out. The location was perfect for riding at Craters MTB Park. I hired a hardtail MTB for half a day, and it did the job perfectly. Seemed very affordable to me - a fair bit cheaper than renting from Taupo.”
