Details

Explore the Eastwoodhill Express: From Garden Trails to Vineyard Rides

Start your supported adventure in Tairāwhiti Gisborne with a scenic shuttle ride to Eastwoodhill Arboretum, a stunning 131-hectare wonderland of native and exotic flora. Known as the largest Northern Hemisphere tree collection south of the equator, Eastwoodhill is a botanical paradise. Whether you're meandering along flat, leafy trails or tackling the climb to Mt Arateitei, there's a walk for every pace.

Once you've soaked in the views, it’s time to switch gears—literally. Grab your bike and coast down Ngatapa Hill, an epic descent that leads to the vibrant Poverty Bay Flats. With easy riding and around 35 kilometres of ground to cover, the route wraps up with a well-earned vineyard platter and a local wine tasting at a charming Gisborne cellar door.
