Heaphy Track Mountain Biking
The Heaphy Track is open to mountain biking from the 1st of May to the 30th of November. It is a 2 or 3 day ride requiring a good level of fitness, self reliance and an intermediate level of skills.
Length
78.4 km one way. It is a further 28 km by road from Brown Hut to Collingwood and 15 km by road from the track end at Kohaihai to Karamea.
Times
Fit, experienced riders should plan for two full days, staying overnight in a hut or designated campsite. Less experienced riders should anticipate a 3 day, two night trip. While day trips from both track ends are possible, the full Heaphy Track experience requires at least one overnight stay to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
Heli Options Although we cannot drop off your packs or food at the huts on the Heaphy track we can drop you at the very start of the track at Browns Hut or pick you up from Kohaihai.
