There are several walks where it's possible to enjoy native bush with sweeping panoramic views (notably the fabulous Tarawera Trail), but another way of doing this which I (Mick) tried recently was quad biking with Quad Bikes Rotorua. After 30 minutes training to minimise the risk of ending up underneath the bike or flying off a precipice, we embarked on a steep and twisty climg up Mount Ngongotaha. Whilst the weather wasn't the best, the experience was exhilarating, and definitely one we would be happy to recommend to our guests.
