Cycling and Walking Tours – NORTH ISLAND NEW ZEALAND - CYCLING AND HIKING EXPERIENCES

Northland Experiences provides fully supported cycling and walking tours.  We cater to virtually every ability range with quality e-bikes to give easy comfortable rides.  Our tour leaders are extremely knowledgeable and will ensure you have an amazing trip.

We utilise many of the beautiful walks in Northland and one of NZ’s Great Rides the Pou Herenga Tai Twin Coast Cycle Trail.  We have built into the tours our favourite spots and experiences, there will be plenty of views and experiences not available to mainstream travellers.   

Owners, Dave & Anita Woodfield moved to Northland in 2016 and have made Russell/Kororareka their home after a lifetime of family holidays and other visits to the area.

Following some extended overseas travel in 2022 & 2023 where they used e-bikes extensively, Dave & Anita discovered the joy of touring on two wheels.  After returning to NZ, Dave joined Northland Experiences as a guide, combining his passion for history with a love of cycling.  Dave & Anita acquired the business from Mike & Lynn Simm, the founders, in November 2024.

While Dave is immersed in all things cycling and e-bikes, Anita enjoys her role as CFO at Waitangi Treaty Grounds.  They also own a small tourist accommodation business in Russell, Kokomo Retreat.

Dave & Anita love working in the tourism industry and are passionate about sharing the beauty of Northland with other kiwis and international visitors alike.  We hope to welcome you on one of our tours soon!

Our Tour Leaders are from Northland and share a wealth of knowledge, history, and culture. They ensure you are looked after every step of the way.  The reviews speak volumes about their professionalism, fun-loving natures, and local knowledge. They really make these tours into something extraordinary.

Our office and marketing crew have all been in Northland for over 18 years working in the Tourism Industry.  They love creating new products and developing bespoke tours.

The owners and all the staff are passionate about the company, the tours they provide, and the experiences you have.  Wanting to go that extra mile is just the norm for all of them. 

Our tours are much more than just a cycle tour.
