Real Life Manifestation of Turning Passion into Reality – “Planet Bike”
Planet Bike has the highest standards in service and safety so you can relax and enjoy your Rotorua bike ride. Our guides are first aid trained, skilled mechanics and love biking! They’ll make sure your ride is what you want.
Planet Bike is a friendly company, based in the action-packed centre of the North Island, New Zealand – Rotorua!
A cycle friendly town famous for it’s geothermal activity from boiling mud pools to huge geysers. Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet, ‘the best single track ever’ is what Gary Fisher had to say. Surrounded by forest we have 140km of purpose built single track on our doorstep, beautiful lakes to cycle to and spectacular rides through thermal areas.
We recommend 3-7 days in Rotorua, the cultural heart of New Zealand – but if you’re a mountain biker you had better make it a couple of weeks! We can arrange all your accommodation, transport and sightseeing requirements.
We are on site at Whakarewarewa Forest where the best trails start. First left off Highway 5 to Taupo after Whakarewarewa thermal area.
No. 8 Waipa Bypass Rd, via Waipa State Mill Rd.

"Brilliant customer service"
For some reason, we made a mistake and used the wrong address using goggle maps. No biggie as Lennore, really went above and beyond with directions over the phone and greeted us like VIPs on arrival. The set up was friendly and welcoming and the bikes we hired were grade A. My two boys 11 and 13 thought the ride was the highlight of the holidays. Well done guys and thank you, we'll be back next time we're in town.
"Highly Recommended"
Having no prior experience (apart from jumping a few kerbs when I was a kid), it was decided we would hire bikes and Casey (our instructor) for an afternoon of fun. Casey was fantastic - he provided heaps of information and demonstrations that I was easily able to use to improve my skills. I was definitely riding better at the end. The trails were amazing, some beautiful scenery, and a gorgeous view out over Rotorua at one point. The bikes were great, Casey was awesome and the hot chocolate when we got back very welcome. Such a fun afternoon - I will definitely be back!
"Mountain biking..just WOW!!"
They provide you a gear cycle good for mounterring with a great map. The map is clear cut so no issues with tracking places in the forest. The forest is really very maintained. They have many difficulty levels of slopes. The best part is the downhill. Will surely visit again.
