Created by riders, for riders.
Ride Retreat is a premium experience designed for those who crave the thrill of the trails and the calm of connection. Guided by professional downhill rider and Rotorua local Brook Macdonald, this is mountain biking reimagined, equal parts adventure, luxury, and wellbeing.
Over four unforgettable days, you’ll ride world-class trails, unwind in boutique accommodation, share chef-crafted meals, and recover in nature’s embrace. It’s a chance to pause, reconnect, and rediscover why you ride, surrounded by good company, great food, and even better views.
The experience
Ride Retreat is built for every kind of rider, from those chasing flow to those rediscovering their love for the trails. Whether you’ve been riding for years or you’re new to mountain biking, every retreat is designed to meet you where you’re at.
Over the retreat, you’ll explore Rotorua’s world-renowned trail network, guided by locals who know every line, lookout, and hidden gem. Each ride is thoughtfully tailored to the group, focused on fun, confidence, and connection.
Beyond the bike, Ride Retreat is about slowing down, sharing stories, and experiencing all of Rotorua.
