Ride Retreat

Some signs are worth following 😉

The trails might bring you here, but everything else will make you want to stay.

World-class riding, premium accommodation, exceptional food, recovery experiences, cultural experiences, optional add-ons, and every detail thoughtfully considered.

A mountain bike retreat designed around the ride, and everything that comes after.

BROOK'S TRAIL NOTES // 001 📍 Maiden Voyage

If I only had one trail to recommend in Rotorua, Maiden Voyage would be right up there.

I've ridden it more times than I could count, and it never gets old. The flow is unreal, the dirt is at its best after a couple of days of rain, and if you time it for late afternoon, you'll catch some of the best light in the forest.

Meet the people behind Ride Retreat 👋

Different backgrounds but one shared passion for mountain biking and showcasing the very best of Rotorua.

Rotorua has earned its reputation as one of the world's great mountain biking destinations.

With over 220km of purpose-built trails, there's something for every rider. But it's the landscape surrounding those trails, from steaming geothermal valleys to crystal-clear lakes, that makes riding here unlike anywhere else.

Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet. Ride Retreat exists to make sure people actually get to experience it properly.

Coached by one of New Zealand's most successful mountain bike athletes, in his own backyard. Staying in luxury accommodation and eating food that matches the effort you put in on the trails. Wellness experiences built in to help riders recover and come back stronger the next day.

This isn't a guided tour. It's the best version of what Rotorua has to offer, all in one place, and there's nothing else quite like it 🤩
