The Twin Coast Cycle Trail provides over eighty kilometres of easy cycling from the Hokianga Harbour on the west coast through to Opua/Russell on the east coast.

The trail will pass through eleven towns and settlements. The first section to be completed will be 12 kilometres of an old rail corridor between Kaikohe and Okaihau. The trail is steeped in historical significance of early New Zealand history dating from before the New Zealand land wars, and in parts follows ancient Maori trails between the west and east coasts.
