Bike Rotorua – Planet Bike
Bike Hire – Mountain Bike Tours
Real Life Manifestation of Turning Passion into Reality – “Planet Bike”
Planet Bike has the highest standards in service and safety so you can relax and enjoy your Rotorua bike ride. Our guides are first aid trained, skilled mechanics and love biking! They’ll make sure your ride is what you want.
Planet Bike is a friendly company, based in the action-packed centre of the North Island, New Zealand – Rotorua!
A cycle friendly town famous for it’s geothermal activity from boiling mud pools to huge geysers. Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet, ‘the best single track ever’ is what Gary Fisher had to say. Surrounded by forest we have 140km of purpose built single track on our doorstep, beautiful lakes to cycle to and spectacular rides through thermal areas.
We recommend 3-7 days in Rotorua, the cultural heart of New Zealand – but if you’re a mountain biker you had better make it a couple of weeks! We can arrange all your accommodation, transport and sightseeing requirements.
We are on site at Whakarewarewa Forest where the best trails start. First left off Highway 5 to Taupo after Whakarewarewa thermal area.
No. 8 Waipa Bypass Rd, via Waipa State Mill Rd.

What do others think of us?
We think we’re pretty special, but don’t take our word for it, read what many of our customers think of us.
"Great bikes, great service, great coffee"
Head here to rent your bike to explore the forests. The people are so helpful, know bikes and tracks well and will *give* you a map (the competition will charge you $5 for the privilege). They have a coffee van, fantastic coffee. Fab bikes, set up for you. Highly recommended.
"Brilliant customer service"
For some reason, we made a mistake and used the wrong address using goggle maps. No biggie as Lennore, really went above and beyond with directions over the phone and greeted us like VIPs on arrival. The set up was friendly and welcoming and the bikes we hired were grade A. My two boys 11 and 13 thought the ride was the highlight of the holidays. Well done guys and thank you, we'll be back next time we're in town.
"Friendly staff, fair rates, good location."
Friendly, helpful staff, well-maintained bikes, fair rates, easily accessible with plenty of parking. We turned up out of the blue, hired the bikes quickly and were on our way bouncing through the forest in no time. We had a great day and would recommend this to anyone, no matter how little mountain biking they have done previously.
