Waddle into something unforgettable 🐧✨
Every evening in Ōamaru, the world’s smallest penguins make their way from sea to shore — a heartwarming sight you won’t want to miss. Nestled on the South Island’s east coast, this unique wildlife experience brings you closer to nature, right at twilight.

Stoked to be bringing another Rogue to the trails of Aotearoa!

It all kicked off with my good friend Sophie Morgan , whose trip to Aotearoa last summer led to connections with Ahipara Luxury Travel and the incredible Conscious Travel Foundation

Thanks to these introductions, Makingtrax was selected from a group of amazing international initiatives doing powerful work for people and place—and we’ve been awarded a game-changing grant from the Conscious Travel Foundation

This is all part of our mission to Adapt Aotearoa—bringing world-class adaptive mountain biking to epic destinations across the country.

The latest in adaptive e-assist technology—the Bowhead Rogue —has just landed and is heading to Arrowtown, right in the heart of the Queenstown Trail network. It’ll be hosted and managed by the awesome crew at Better by bike

This marks our second Rogue in the country, with the first already shredding trails in Nelson thanks to the legends at The Gentle Cycling Company

Grab your mates and your whānau—adventure biking just got a whole lot more inclusive. There’s no better way to explore!

For two weeks, this awesome group of friends and family explored the best of New Zealand — from Hobbiton to Doubtful Sound, glowworm caves, starry skies, thermal pools, and plenty of exciting surprises along the way.

"They were so knowledgeable about their country, understood how to deal with me, my wheelchair how to give us flexibility."

There were laughs, last-minute detours, and unforgettable views — the kind of memories that only come from saying yes to adventure. We’re so glad we got to plan this thrilling trip and to be part of the adventure.
