Mountain Bike @ Kaitoke plus shuttle from Cross Creek 2pm or Featherston 2.15pm

Experience the entire Remutaka Incline from Kaitoke to the Wairarapa, then take our shuttle back to the start. Start anytime between 10am and 12pm (though the earlier you start, the more time you'll have on the trail), then bike through to Cross Creek for 2pm pickup or Featherston 2.15pm (returns approx 2.45).

Simply make your way to our base at the Kaitoke carpark (it's about a 45 minute drive from Wellington). We'll set you up with capable and comfortable mountain bikes, then give you a quick briefing on what to expect for the day. You'll start your adventure with a very gradual incline through beautiful native bush. Pass through tunnels (headlights provided!) and over bridges, while checking out information boards detailing the enormous task of constructing the old fell railway system. Reach the summit - a large grassy plateau perfect for a picnic or cold drink - then enjoy a fun (but easily controllable!) descent to Cross Creek for a 2pm pickup or Featherston for a 2.15pm pickup, from where we'll take you back to Kaitoke.

We buy our bikes specifically for local trail conditions, and only use modern mountain bikes, complete with comfy gel seats, front suspension, and quality components. All bikes are then customised to rider height and preferences. In short, our equipment won't let you down.
