What South Pacific Motorcycle Tours Customers say:

A bucket list tour for the best motorcycling riding ever with the best people ever! We had 9 bikes on the 12 Day Southern Alps Spectacular. I was concerned that joining a group of strangers for 12 days could be a real hit or miss experience, but it was of course a huge hit! Mike (tour leader/rider) and Kim and Mikey (chase van) were our constant companions throughout the trip and did a fantastic job. Carole, Hayley and David were at HQ backstopping all the details. The bikes all performed flawlessly with no mishaps or breakdowns at all. Whether you just hire, want to ride on a tour or do self-guided, you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended.

We are Harley Davidson lovers. SPMT have an amazing passion to organise our ride on a Harley during 9 days through the South Island: 2,700 kms of pure happiness that we will never forget! We warmly recommend all Harley Davidson lovers to ride in New Zealand with South Pacific Motorcycle Tours.

Utterly Fantastic! The tour was so well organized, from the moment of inquiry until the flight out of Christchurch. The whole crew was gracious, accommodating, resourceful, with over the top customer service. We experienced New Zealand from the tops of 2 BMW 800's. It was phenomenal, to say the least. Even with 6 out of 12 days with rain, it didn't matter, we were in NZ! The self guided GPS tour was amazingly accurate and the excursions, plus places to stop and eat, well, there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. Highly recommended to all who ride.

Trip of a lifetime!
When talking with a former work colleague about my intention to do a motorbike tour in New Zealand he did not hesitate to recommend South Pacific Motorcycles. Carole, Kim and Hayley were so responsive to my every need and request when planning my trip and the itinerary. Upon arrival at SPM I was up and on my bike within an hour and on the road, after bike checks and safety briefings. The BMW GS F700 was fantastic and perfect for the roads.
It really makes a huge difference to be able to personalize a trip and be actively involved in all the options and it makes things so easy to pay once for bike, B&Bs and activities up front.
SPMT checked up every couple of days to ensure everything was to my satisfaction and also to inform of ant weather warnings or re-rerouting that might be required.
A fantastic 2,700km tour of the South Island and many memories to take home with me.

Well, all you folks looking around now for the right motorcycle touring outfit in NZ can just sign on with SPMT. We were there last Jan-Feb and the folks at SPMT are the best. They do what they promise and provided excellent 1200RTs. Our trip of a lifetime was a success in a large part due to these great folks. We just rented and rode our own tour with their advice. PS Mike and Carole thanks for what you do!
