Great Lake Trail Luxury Packages

Experience the scenic and remote Great Lake Trail then relax in luxury at the end of the day, letting us take care of everything for you. Whakaipo Lodge is just a short ride from Whakaipo Bay, at the eastern end of the Great Lake Trail.

This 72km mountain bike ride lets you experience stunning landscapes and scenery, native bush and birdlife, not to mention some of the best riding in New Zealand. The trail can be completed in 2-3 days and riding is fast and dry on well formed pumice trails. Then chill out and relax in Taupo, the North Island’s Adventure Capital.
