Mountain Biking the Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park

What a spectacular way to mountain bike the Heaphy Track!

Karamea Helicopter Charter have a specially designed helicopter bike rack to safely transport you and your bikes to the other end of the Heaphy Track.

The helicopter comfortably seats three passengers and bikes, and can transport you to Browns Hut at 'the Collingwood end' of the Heaphy Track- no need for shuttles or extra biking! The helicopter trip takes less than 1/2 an hour.

Heaphy Track Mountain Biking Trip

The Heaphy Track is a 2 or 3 day ride, requiring a good level of fitness, self reliance and an intermediate level of skills, to ride in a backcountry environment across a variety of landscapes. The Heaphy Track is also a multi-day tramping track and is managed as a Great Walk.

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.
