Transport Options

It’s an approximately 40-minute drive to Poronui station from Taupo.

Drive yourself
You are most welcome to drive your own vehicle. There is plenty of off-road (farmland) parking just a few minutes walk from the event base (the Stables).

Take the free shuttle
Alternatively, we are offering coach transport to/from Poronui from Taupo CBD on event day. This option will get you to Poronui in plenty of time to do whatever you need to do before you head off on your adventure!

If you booked MTB transport, all MTB’s will need to be dropped off at the same location where you will board the bus.

Shuttle will depart from the Car Park opposite the Fire station - Rifle Range Road, Taupo

You must book the bus and cannot just turn up on the day for the shuttle

I was keen to see if the event would provide enough value to warrant the $395 entry fee!
It did. Everything was the next level compared to a standard event.

If you saw it this year and thought "hmm 🤔, maybe". I recommend committing next year.
