Experience the Ultimate Triple Treat Private Tour

Get ready for a full day of fun and discovery on the Ultimate Triple Treat Private Tour. Starting from Riverside Adventures, your day begins with a guided walk along the Waikato River Trail, where peaceful bush tracks open up to incredible views of Lake Arapuni. This is the perfect way to soak up the region’s natural beauty while hearing local stories from your friendly guide.

After your walk, your e-bike awaits near the Arapuni Dam for a smooth and scenic ride through the heart of the Waikato countryside. Stop off at Arapuni Village for lunch—either at the charming Rhubarb Café or at a picnic spot by the river. With your energy restored, pedal your way back to Riverside Adventures and enjoy a moment to relax before your evening on the water.

Hike, Bike and Kayak a Riverside Adventures TriVenture

This Triple Treat adventure captures the best of the Waikato River Trail, blending gentle hiking, effortless e-biking, and tranquil kayaking into one unforgettable experience. Each stage reveals a new perspective of the region—from lush forest trails and open farmland to the peaceful flow of the river. As twilight settles in, you’ll glide beneath starry skies and marvel at the magical glow worms lighting up the canyon walls, a true highlight of your Riverside Adventures TriVenture.

The Ultimate Triple Treat Private Tour offers more than just a day of activity—it’s a full sensory journey through one of New Zealand’s most scenic regions. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to enjoy the Waikato, this adventure promises memories that will stay with you long after the paddle rests and the stars fade.
