Tākaro means play…
In this crazy world, it can be the simple things that we appreciate, like a bike ride. Owners Karen & Roger believe life is better on a bike. That’s why they are in this business – we help visitors get on a bike and visit some unforgettable places in Hawke’s Bay.
Tākaro Trails delivers unforgettable cycling experiences in one of the New Zealand’s most acclaimed wine regions. Award-winning Tākaro Trails Cycle Tours have been welcoming cyclists to Hawke’s Bay since 2010 and working alongside others to offer amazing visitor experiences.
The Tākaro Trails team will give you a personalised service and get you into the heart of the Hawke’s Bay Trails, whether that involves a multi day tour where you ride around Hawke’s Bay visiting all the highlights over 2-4 days or a one day ride to visit just one of the best bits (with a couple of wineries along the way). We operate with a total commitment to customer needs and provide flexible tours and rides to suit all itineraries – self-guided or guided, one day or multi-days.
Our mission is to get you on a bike, set you off onto the trails and catch up with you a few hours/days later to share your stories, big smiles and glowing happiness.
In Hawke’s Bay, the off-road cycling trails are wide, smooth and mostly flat, perfect for enjoying the mini Mediterranean climate with some of the finest food and wine to be found anywhere in the world……it is the perfect indulgent experience!
Tākaro Trails operate under the Tiaki Promise – number one to us is a total commitment to people and place. Our world renowned Takaro trails service is a real thing – customers continuously tell us how much they loved their cycling tour, it is the highlight of their holiday. Our staff provide everything needed so you can relax and enjoy the ride – trail briefings, maps, top quality bikes and e-bikes, helmets, carrier bags etc.
