TOUR OVERVIEW

Four hours of Nelson’s best singletrack, guided by locals who know every trail.

Nelson is one of New Zealand’s great mountain bike destinations, and this private guided ride takes you straight to the heart of it. Over four hours, your professional guide will lead your group across the Nelson MTB Park network, linking the best trails at Codgers Mountain Bike Park, the Maitai Valley and Silvan Forest into one unforgettable ride.

Expect flowing forest singletrack, sweeping berms and native bush, with glimpses of Nelson city and Tasman Bay from the higher trails. With hundreds of kilometres of trails to choose from, there’s riding here for everyone, and your guide will pick the right ones for your group.

Tailored to your crew

Every ride is shaped around the skills, confidence and fitness of your group. New to mountain biking? Your guide will start you on friendly, confidence-building trails and share tips along the way. Experienced rider? Step it up with faster, flowing descents and more technical options where suitable. Your guide will adapt the route as the ride unfolds, so everyone finishes with a big smile.
