Bike Wanaka

Lake Wanaka’s Mountain Bike Club

Lake Wanaka’s situation in the Southern Lakes of New Zealand gives it an unfair advantage.  Soaring mountains yet trails that are well drained and rarely wet.  A thriving mountain town, but with wilderness on its doorstep.

Mountain Biking families, enthusiasts or even professionals – we have them all and we’ve got trails to keep you happy!

Bike Wanaka Inc has been in existence since the early 90’s developing and growing Mountain Biking (MTB) in the Upper Clutha region. We have a membership base of over 500 and an active committee. Our priorities as a club are to:

  • Ensure Sticky Forest becomes a community asset
  • Build new tracks
  • Maintain the existing track network
  • Hold MTB events throughout each year
  • Access great discounts and deals for our members
  • Advocate for broader biking issues in Wanaka
  • Develop riders and coaches in the region
  • Build strong relationships with other organisations - DOC, Lake Wanaka Tourism and Upper Clutha Tracks Trust.

Hunting in New Zealand with Simon from Cardrona Outfitters truly was a hunt of a lifetime, from hunting Fallow bucks in the beautiful Cardrona Valley, to hunting Chamois and Tahr up in the majestic Alps of the west coast!

The food and lodgings were first class, and Simon is an amazing guide. His knowledge and experience hunting world class trophies is second to none!

Thanks again mate for the incredible experience you provided, it was a hunt I will remember and talk about forever - I'm already getting excited planning my trip back with Cardrona Outfitters next year!
