    Very nice

    We did the countryside tour, we saw 2 very nice places with waterfalls, also a coffee bean and brown sugar plantation! The roads were varied, straight, up and down a few times, bumped. The tour guide was very friendly and happy to explain everything. Had occasional breaks to have a drink and take pictures!

    A must do when in Moshi

    We had the best bike & hike tour thanks to our guide Roger. The E bikes are great to go up hill to the Materuni waterfall. The hike was amazing through the forest. The local lunch was amazing and the coffee tour was a great experience for our family of 4. One Bike Tanzania is a great company which a mission. Check it out, you will not regret it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ride, hike, lunch, and coffee tour. Roger will be happy to hear your kind words. Thanks for supporting our mission—hope to see you again soon!

    Breathtaking Trails, a Waterfall, and an Incredible Guide!

    We had an unforgettable mountain biking adventure in Moshi, Tanzania, guided by the exceptional Roger. The quality of the mountain bikes exceeded our expectations, providing both comfort and performance throughout the ride. Roger maintained a perfectly balanced pace, tailored to our level, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey from start to finish. We truly appreciated the time he allowed us to soak in the breathtaking surroundings, and his knowledge of the area added depth to the experience. One of the highlights was reaching a stunning waterfall, where Roger kindly captured some beautiful photos of us. To top it all off, the lunch provided was absolutely delicious — far beyond what we anticipated. All in all, a truly memorable day that we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic and well-organized MTB experience in Tanzania.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had an unforgettable adventure with Roger. It’s great to know the bikes, the ride, the scenery, and the lunch all exceeded your expectations. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Roger. Thanks for recommending us—we’d love to ride with you again someday!

    An amazing cycling experience

    A very nice one-day excursion from moshi village! We cycled from moshi village to the materuni waterfalls, which was a physical, but rewarding experience. After the ride, we explored the surroundings of the waterfalls and swum at the bottom of the waterfall, which was more than welcome after sweating to reach the top! The tour was perfectly organized by our guide Said and the bicycles were from high quality. I definitively recommend the excursion if you spend a few days in Moshi.

    Response from the operator: Hello Matthieu, Thank you for choosing One Bike Tanzania. we are so greatful that we explore and show you Moshi and countryside on a bike. when you in Tanzania don't hesitate to come for more adventure. Kind regards, One Bike Team

    Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.

    How much does Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.

    Is Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Moshi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Moshi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Moshi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Packed lunch & bottled mineral water; English speaking guide(s); Mountain bike & helmet; and Village fees + Coffee tour. Not included: Tips to the guide(s). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Materuni Waterfall E-Bike Day Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 34 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    +
