Why New Zealand?

We have carefully planned and researched our New Zealand motorcycle tours so that you have time to 'see and do' whilst on tour, so it's not all rush, rush, rush. All you have to do is let us know what you're interested in when you book up with us and we'll arrange everything for you.

Our unique location also gives you the opportunity to chill out and stay at our luxury Country Lodge, Mandeville Lodge, in Canterbury, near Christchurch, either before, during or after your tour, for as long as you wish.  Breakfast is included in the overnight tariff, and evening meals can be arranged.

Whatever your passion (apart from motorcycling that is) you can 'do it all' here. New Zealand, home of the famous A J Hackett bungy jump.  NZ has a reputation as the destination for quality and value-packed adventure-fun, so, go on, why not unleash the adventurer in you while you're here!

Just have a peak below at some of the amazing things you can do. When you book your motorbike tour or motorcycle rental hire with us, we'll ask you what you're interested in and pre-book these for you completely free of charge at the normal going rate. We then just add the price to your tour bill. Prices aren't 'loaded' and you are welcome to check any pricesyourself by going to the appropriate tour operator websites.

Remember that during peak season activities get booked up extremely fast, so please let us help you make the most of your vacation by organising these events for you.

We specialise in tailoring your holiday to guarantee you real value for money - see what you fancy and we'll discuss it with you when you book.  We have marked South Pacific recommended activities in bold.
