Connections to Other Regions

Rotorua itself isn’t that big, and while Whakarewarewa Forest is a fantastic resource, for bikepacking you’ll want to go further afield. Also, people often want to cycle into Rotorua from somewhere else, possibly passing through on a longer ride.

The main roads into and out of Rotorua aren’t particularly safe for cyclists, but there are lots of alternatives. On this page you’ll find information on safe (and legal) cycling routes into and out of Rotorua.
