Coast to Coast

Auckland to Christchurch - Christchurch to Auckland

This tour is a 23 day camp and cabin motorcycle tour giving you a great over-view of the country and taking you through many different climatic and geographical zones of New Zealand.

Since we are camping and cook on the mobile kitchen, we have the benefit of staying at many special locations where hotels are few and far between. As with all our guided tours, your luggage will be transported in the support van so you can enjoy your motorcycle riding to the full.
    
In brief this tour includes Cape Reinga, the northern tip of the North Island, the Kauri forests with its giant trees and the historical grounds of ‘Waitangi’ the country's first capital.


Further south we enjoy the coastal roads of the Coromandel Peninsula, an historic gold mining area, the Bay of Plenty and Rotorua, which is the Maori people’s capital and the largest geothermal area in the country. Further westwards the unique volcanic landscape of King Country to Mt Taranaki and on to Wellington before we cross to the South Island.

In the South Island we stop in Kaikoura for whale watching or to swim with dolphins.
The journey continues over Lewis Pass to the rugged west coast with varied landscapes from sand stone formations, pebble beaches and glaciers.


South of Haast Pass we visit some of the many glacial lakes by the well known travel destinations of Milford Sounds, Queenstown. The last part of the journey goes via Central Otago and Lake Tekapo before we conclude our tour in Christchurch.
