Are you a keen mountain biker looking for an epic ride? Look no further than New Zealand’s private farms! Forget the crowded public trails and embrace the freedom and exclusivity that private land can offer.
With over 50,000 private farms scattered across the country, there are plenty of options for mountain bikers of all skill levels. These farms offer unique tracks and trails that are not available on public land. You could be riding through forests, up hills, along ridges and even on high country stations with stunning views that you won’t find on a tourist map.
But what about accommodation? No worries, many farms offer a range of accommodation options from basic camp sites to comfortable lodges. You can even park your campervan or pitch your tent on some farms and wake up to a stunning view and fresh farm air.
Pedal Your Way Through Paradise, Try Mountain Biking on Private Farms in New Zealand
One of the best things about mountain biking on private farms is the lack of crowds. You won’t have to deal with hordes of tourists or other bikers, so you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. Plus, the farms offer a unique opportunity to experience the farming way of life and learn about rural New Zealand.
But wait, there’s more! Many farms also offer a range of other activities such as hiking, horse trekking, fishing, and hunting. So, you can make a whole adventure out of your trip to a private farm.
This concept of private farm tourism has already become a reality, with over 100 innovative Kiwi farmers offering their land for visitors to enjoy. OutdoorHQ, a platform for New Zealand farmers to safely host visitors and earn additional income, has made it easy for these farmers to showcase their land and offer exclusive experiences to adventure tourists.
So, what are you waiting for? Ditch the crowded public trails and experience the beauty and exclusivity of New Zealand’s private farms. It’s a true Kiwi adventure you won’t want to miss.
