Bike Rotorua – Planet Bike

Bike Hire – Mountain Bike Tours

Real Life Manifestation of Turning Passion into Reality – “Planet Bike”

Planet Bike has the highest standards in service and safety so you can relax and enjoy your Rotorua bike ride. Our guides are first aid trained, skilled mechanics and love biking! They’ll make sure your ride is what you want.

Planet Bike is a friendly company, based in the action-packed centre of the North Island, New Zealand – Rotorua!

A cycle friendly town famous for it’s geothermal activity from boiling mud pools to huge geysers. Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet, ‘the best single track ever’ is what Gary Fisher had to say. Surrounded by forest we have 140km of purpose built single track on our doorstep, beautiful lakes to cycle to and spectacular rides through thermal areas.

We recommend 3-7 days in Rotorua, the cultural heart of New Zealand – but if you’re a mountain biker you had better make it a couple of weeks! We can arrange all your accommodation, transport and sightseeing requirements.

We are on site at Whakarewarewa Forest where the best trails start. First left off Highway 5 to Taupo after Whakarewarewa thermal area.
No. 8 Waipa Bypass Rd, via Waipa State Mill Rd.

If it’s not chocolate brown, it’s not us!

"From Paris"

You kindly repaired some tubeless wheels for me in Rotorua last time I was there... You recommended a specific sealant that worked better for side walls, having a similar problem with ardent on a roval.... Can you tell me what the sealant was? Also I live in Europe, Paris at the moment. And the coffee here is pretty crap ! Can you give me instructions on how to make a good roast, what mix of beans do you prefer , so i can make a deal with a local roaster to 'cook me some beans'! Wettest summer in history so far but early days. Hope all is good in the forest !

"Brilliant customer service"

For some reason, we made a mistake and used the wrong address using goggle maps. No biggie as Lennore, really went above and beyond with directions over the phone and greeted us like VIPs on arrival. The set up was friendly and welcoming and the bikes we hired were grade A. My two boys 11 and 13 thought the ride was the highlight of the holidays. Well done guys and thank you, we'll be back next time we're in town.

"Awesome Service"

We spent the morning at Planet Bike, very chilled out vibe. Lennore was super helpful with everything. Huge range of bikes, nice snacks and coffee. Highly recommend, great service. We will be back!
