NORTHLAND BICYCLE & WALKING TOURS

THE HISTORY OF COOK TO KUPE

Northland is the birthplace of New Zealand. We visit iconic sites critical to early New Zealand history including the Award Winning Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where Te Tiriti O Waitangi, New Zealand’s founding document, was signed. Our Cook to Kupe bicycle tour honours Captain James Cook who charted New Zealand, and Kupe, the legendary Polynesian explorer, who made first New Zealand landfall on the Hokianga Harbour shores.

Northland is fortunate to have a dense Maori population and there are many opportunities to learn about and experience local Maori culture. Be captivated by the stories on your guided tour tracing the footsteps of explorers and our ancestors. The Cook to Kupe bicycle tour reaches capacity quickly in high season – but the beauty of Northland is you can cycle all year round and the slightly milder climate in winter makes perfect pedalling. Book now for the Northland biking experience that will keep you coming back time and again. It really is unbeatable.

We follow Pou Herenga Tai, the Twin Coast Cycle Trail, except we ride further east and west to include Northland’s finest scenery and destinations.
