OVERVIEW
For those of you that don't want to start from New Zealands busiest city, Auckland, but still want to experience the North Island, this 11 day New Zealand motorcycle tour takes you from the peaceful City of Christchurch to the hustle and bustle of Auckland with great rides and locations in between. This Supreme motorcycle tour will include superior accommodation, so at the end of each day you know you will have somewhere of high quality to relax after a great day in the saddle. Our 11 day tour allows you to experience Christchurch, Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura in the South Island before the beautiful water crossing to the North Island via the Marlborough Sounds.

Working your way from Wellington, New Zealands capital city, you will travel to the amazing art deco city of Napier. We then whisk you away to the town of Rotorua, known for it's Maori cultural heritage and geothermal activity.

From Rotorua you'll ride The Coromandel which is one of the great motorcycle hot spots of the North Island. From here you'll be travelling to Auckland, NZs largest city, but you won't be in the hustle and bustle for long as the Bay of Islands awaits with a day off to enjoy more local rides, history, culture, relaxation and water activities.

Ending in Auckland you'll be glad you chose South Pacific Motorcycle Tours, you'll feel relaxed and refreshed, wondering how you can stay that little bit longer.
