3 Days of Active Exploring
By foot, by bike or by Railbike, the land of the first light holds a treasure trove of landscapes to explore
Saddle up - Tairāwhiti will get your legs moving, from forest tracks and farm roads to beachside boardwalks and coastal curves. Cruise Gisborne’s riverside boardwalk at sunset, or cycle from the city to Wainui Beach on dedicated bike lanes. Families can hit the local pump track for laps and laughs, while those keen to explore further can link up native bush, backroads, and sections of the renowned Motu Trails - part of New Zealand’s official Great Rides.
Out on the 35, long straights, golden bays, and East Coast air make the ride just as rewarding as the destination. Whether you're riding for fun, fitness, or fresh air, there’s a trail, track, or tour to suit your pace. Check out the Tapuwae Tairāwhiti trail network, hire a bike in town, or link up with a local guide - and let the East Coast roll out beneath you.
