About this activity

Embark on a captivating e-bike journey that takes you from near the world-renowned Waitomo Caves to either past the Hobitt Film Location – Hairy Feet, a magical location that served as a backdrop for scenes in the “Hobbit” film trilogy, or take a slightly longer route continuing along quiet back-country roads.

Both routes culminate at the charming Fat Pigeon Cafe in the quaint village of Piopio. This ride offers an extraordinary blend of scenery alive with sounds and sights, cinematic wonders, and culinary delights.

The well-maintained back-country gravel roads ensure a smooth ride, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquil environment. Along the way, you might spot native birdlife and vibrant wildflowers, adding bursts of colour to the lush greenery.

Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, film buff, or foodie, this adventure will leave you with cherished memories and a deeper connection to the heart of Aotearoa-New Zealand.
