Whether it's the wide open spaces or lush forest tracks, cycling is a great way to get close to nature and explore New Zealand's richly varied countryside, as this cyclist is doing while exploring the Redwood forest in Whakarewarewa.

This is just a 10-minute ride from Rotorua's city centre and covers more than 30 kilometres of cycle trails.

Cycle touring is becoming increasingly popular with visitors to New Zealand.
