Heli-bike
The Kaimanawa Descent is a 23km downhill mountain biking experience built for confident riders (Grade 3 intermediate–advanced).
Your adventure kicks off with a spectacular helicopter lift from Kaimanawa Alpine Adventures base to the trail start high on the Patutu Tops at 1673m. The first stretch — around 15km — sweeps across open alpine tussock terrain, with wide-open views stretching over the Central Plateau and the volcanic peaks of Tongariro National Park. The final 8km drops you into untouched native mountain beech forest, twisting down the trail all the way back to our base on Waipakihi Road.
