Discover Nz's Secrets With JustMTB

We’re all in love with mountain bikes, and that’s quite likely the initial reason people will be looking at coming to the glorious paradise of New Zealand for a mountain bike holiday. At JustMTB, all their trips revolve around the main element of riding mountain bikes on the epic single-track and trails of North and South Islands. However, at JustMTB, they like to go one step further and show visitors more than just New Zealand’s famous trails.

Over an 8 or 12 day tour, it is impossible to ride 8 – 10 hours every day. The JustMTB team and their clients have tried and it’s just not that enjoyable. There comes a point where people no longer want to ride, totally the opposite of why they came to New Zealand with their mountain bike.  Indulging in other activities and exploring the country by other means is something JustMTB have developed over years of living here – discovering all the local spots, and unique experiences, so here are a few of their tour favourites:

The natural thermal hotpools, located in a slither of native bush sit right at the bottom of one of JustMTB’s favourite trails.  There’s no better way to unwind after a ride, relax and soothe your body than with a cool beverage in warm bubbling water.  For those who fancy a spa style treatment, the mud found to the side of the pools is perfect for a mud pack.  There’s even a waterfall to complete the natural spa feel.

Hobbiton is a firm favourite among JustMTB’s mountain biking visitors, and with The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit gaining such a huge following, it is no surprise the opportunity to visit the Hobbit shire is so great. A guided tour through the hobbit holes and the set itself, learning a few little film secrets is a great way to end a warm summer evening. Take a drink at the Green Dragon pub from the movie for a unique experience.

Swapping land for water always yields unique experiences.  Whether it’s a thrill seeking jet boat experience, a scenic evening cruise to the unique cultural carvings cut into the lakeside cliffs or rafting the white water rapids of New Zealand’s many rivers – there’s a unique experience to be had. A great way to wind down and use some other muscles, whether it be those to lift that champagne glass on the cruise or paddling on the river, visitors will find themselves with that happy holiday feeling and ready to get back on the bike the next day.
