The Mountains to Sea cycle trail uses a combination of local mountain biking trails, public roads and a jetboat to take riders from the mountains of the Central Volcanic Plateau to the sea in Whanganui. 

Riders will traverse two national parks that are rich in natural and cultural heritage, enjoying stunning scenery along the way.

The Mountains to Sea cycle trail is a joint initiative involving the Ruapehu District Council, Whanganui Iwi, Wanganui District Council, Waitomo District Council, Department of Conservation and the New Zealand Cycle Trail project.
