Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Today me and my friend visited Heads up whangarei
Right from the start you are greeted by friendly and helpful staff that make you feel welcomed. After walking up a hill with our bikes we decided to use the shuttle's ( Highly recommend). The mountain bike trails are suited for all levels and offer a right amount of challenge.
5/5 experience
Would Highly recommend and would definitely go again

What a great father & Son adventure! We spent 3 full days here with 5 Dads & 8 fourteen year old boys. Warren was an outstanding host, and the lads enjoyed everything on offer from the monster scooters, paintball, bush survival skills, and more. We will definitely be back for a repeat road trip in the future!

I took my teenage son and his friends (total number 6) on the 2nd February 2025. We had the 12 pm slot. It was a sunny day so was worried about the heat but the course was under trees so perfect. Boys and girls had a blast. Capture the flag, lots to hide behind and lots laughs during and more so after. First time for all and they will definitely give it a go again. Highly recommend and the host was friendly, helpful and went the extra mile. Cant forget the totally amazing view from the top of the hill. Would be awesome for a group function. Thumbs up!

Our group of 3 families spent a beautiful weekend up TutuKaka Coast and decided to stop in on the way home. Totally worth it, drive up was a bit steep to start with but manageable so take your time. Owner/manager/staff are all awesome, very friendly and professional. Kids went for 3 runs, beginners & intermediate with Halloween theme! We ended up staying for over 3 hours, ordered simple lunches/coffee/chips from the small café, served by two hardworking young women...Thank you HeadsUp Adventures!

Total blast for my sons who wanted to ride on the advanced scooter trails while I was happy to cruise on the beginner tracks. The scenery is gorgeous as you ride along.
The owner was amazing- he gave us a ride in from town and offered helpful trail recommendations every time he shuttled us back to the top of the hill.
We felt treated like family and really enjoyed our time. What a great place.

A delightful activity for the family and for just about every age within the family. I am nearer 80 than 70!
First the young staff: could not be more helpful, accommodating and attentive.
Second the activity: a chance to do something challenging, active and safe with a sense of adventure and achievement.
There are all sorts of flexible deals.
Once you are scooting, you get to appreciate iconic views of classic Northland scenery, appreciate the classic vegetation and fresh air of Northland and at the same time challenge your stamina and concentration.
Lovely cafe with equally lovely staff and seating for picnics with amazing views.
Totally and unreservedly recommended.

Such a awesome outdoor activity, from the moment you step into the office you are welcomed with a warm greeting. We decided to do the Monster Scooters. The office staff were friendly and well informed about the overall product they were selling. Straight into it and on the bus we went after been fitted with a safety helmet. A short bus ride and into a safety briefing by our tour guide/ bus driver again well informed and friendly to all. Me being a adrenaline freak I could not wait. the intro and beginners track was so much fun. We only had time to do 3 rides but for the price it’s well worth it. Would highly recommend to all.
Thank you for the great experience team.

What a WICKED place! Adults and kids had an epic time mountain biking down all the trails. Can’t recommend it enough. Warren and staff are amazing and know every inch of the trails. Great coffee and a view to die for! All terrain scooters and paint ball look super fun too! Thanks for a fantastic day out!

What an awesome location. Owner was very nice and also willing to let us do some of our own activities (stag do) while also taking safety seriously. The NZ bush was great fun to play in while also having great obstacles and good cover locations. 10/10, definitely plan on coming back at some point!

Definitely something for everyone at heads up! From the fantastic staff to the well thought out tracks! We’ve been a few times and each time is excellent.
The monster scooters are such great fun, try all tracks - you’ll be a pro by the time you are done.
The cafe is brilliant!! Monster shakes are the best
