Christchurch to Auckland - Auckland to Christchurch

This 23 day camping and cabin motorcycle tour goes through many of the South Island passes and the more untouched areas of the North Island such as East Cape. The north island offers many camping opportunities along the coast enabling you to enjoy many smaller coastal places en-route.
   

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.

During this tour you will be visiting In the North island the caves in Waitomo, Rotorua, which is the Maori people’s capital and the largest geothermal area in the country. Further eastwards deserted winding roads around the East Cape lead us to Gisborne and the famous Art Deco town of Napier. The trip continues to the unique landscape of Tongariro on the volcanic plateau before heading south to Wellington.

In the South Island we stay in Abel Tasman region ride through the Buller Gorge to the West Coast region before we cross Arthurs Pass and head for the central lakes around Tekapo. Milford is next on the itinerary before we head to Queenstown for some action activities. Following the greenstone (Jade) trail through Haast Pass we head north along the remote west coast to the glaciers. The last part of the trip continues over Lewis Pass to Christchurch.
