Once you reach the top, you’ll find a series of hand-built descents, including a continuous single-track route that spans 9km. If you’re looking for a grade 5 descent, the Aorere Trail is a true enduro trail guaranteed to get the heart pumping.
Waitarake is owned by Ngāti Koata. Dogs are permitted, but they must be kept under control at all times.
