Coastal Ecology E-Ride

Coastal Ecology E-Ride

Experience the Bay by e-bike. Join this exclusive event and meet other young people aged 18-35 for a fun and informative ride from Pāpāmoa to Kaituna Spit.

About the event

Explore the treasured landscapes around us, from sand dunes and wetlands to estuaries, and learn why biodiversity matters in each of these environments. Along the way, local experts will share their knowledge and answer your questions.

This is a three-hour ride and a great chance to get outside, meet some like-minded people and explore the coast by e-bike. Lunch will be provided, and there’ll be plenty of time to chat and enjoy the ride. Cycling experience is required, but the trail is not difficult. E-bikes are provided, and there are only 7 places available, so get in quick!
