Puketapu Loop, Otatara Maori Pa & Silky Oaks Chocolate Bike Ride

This loop from the suburb of Taradale in Napier, brings you to a pub, Pa, and chocolate factory on the Puketapu Loop, Otatara Maori Pa & Silky Oaks Chocolate Bike Ride. Bring the whole family and have loads of fun!

Cycle the round trip route spanning Taradale and the rural settlement of Puketapu, riding the stop-banks of the Tutaekuri River, with a recommended lunch stop at the iconic Puketapu Pub. Then take in the ever-changing scenery of vineyards, orchards and farmland as you go back cycling on the opposite side of the river.

The easy climb to the historic Otatara Maori Pa is rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding region. Round it all off with chocolate overload at the Silky Oaks Chocolate Factory and Café before finishing off your cycling adventure back in Taradale.
