The Whaka Forest Loop
This exciting new development is part of the Nga Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trail system, and it is already very popular. The trail gives just about anybody a chance to sample the best of the Whakarewarewa Forest, on trails circumnavigating the entire park.
The 35 kilometre route takes in views of three lakes, many different types of forest, and can be completed in a day or two, in various sections, or used to create loops of your own.
