About
Situated deep in the Wairoa Valley, The Gorge is home to over 70km of hand-built mountain bike trails that run through a lush native and beech forest environment. The trails in The Gorge are sublime and have to be experienced to be fully appreciated. The grades run from three right up to six and there is more riding than anyone can handle in a day.

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.

We are so lucky to have this right on our door step. Very well managed and always a great day no matter what the weather is doing.

This is the 4th year I have visited this place and it just keeps getting better. At first it can be intimidating but the more you ride the better it gets and all else pales by comparison. Highly recommended.

I've been to The Gorge multiple times and look forward to going back whenever I have a chance. It's always an epic day of riding. Took my teenage son on most recent visit, he really enjoyed it and want's to go back as soon as he can. Highly recommended!!!

My 13 year old son and I were a little apprehensive as the grade 5 trails in Nelson were stretching us.
We stayed on Advanced tracks with one black track and had a ball, words not enough and picture not justice.CANT WAIT TO RETURN.

By far the best technical hand built trails I've ever ridden, and the shuttle set up and access is super efficient and effective. The staff were epic, very helpful and worked hard to make sure we had a good time. Highly recommend as a must do for upper level intermediate and advanced riders, The Gorge is where it's at! Also it's pretty good value for how much riding you get, we hit it twice in a month and will hit it every time we go to Nelson in the future.

This is hands down the best riding in New Zealand. It probably equals that of Canada. It is amazing no matter what the weather. With limited numbers, it feels like a private park for the day. The shuttles, drivers, lunch hut, and vibe are all incredible. The trails are just EPIC! Full faith in the builders that blind drops and corners are all rollable in the wet and dry, and you just have to trust their skill and your ability to stay off the brakes. Unreal.

Awesome riding with greats hand built trails, friendly and helpful shuttle drivers that give good advice on which trail will suit riders abilities best. We had 3 dads with 3 thirteen year olds and the kids developed skills during the day; starting with intermediate flowing tracks to more technical tracks later in the day. Beautiful native bush and even saw a native morepork bird during the morning (nocturnal).

Amazing, unique NZ riding experience
Huge number of trails to choose from, all hand crafted and world-class.
Downhill runs that last for 40 minutes or more.
Beautiful bush and mountain scenery.
Great staff.
Can't wait to return.
