Tour Information
Enduro Touring and Bike Tours NZ have carefully selected the most interesting, scenic routes and included many main attractions and points of interest.
We run motorcycle tours using quality 3-4 star accommodation in nicely situated locations as well as camping tours, both of which offer you the best chance to experience the country. We make a point of avoiding a "cattle drive" by limiting the tour groups to a maximum of 12 and giving each rider sufficient freedom to travel at their own pace. A days ride is usually between 200-400km allowing plenty of time for sightseeing, relaxing or more bike riding.
Our support vehicle transports all your equipment thus enabling you to enjoy your riding to the full. In the mornings we discuss the day's route, attractions on the way and our destination for the day. You are then on your way to enjoy the day.
Our Tour Guides
Our guides live in New Zealand, are active motorbike riders and know the country and it's roads extremely well. They ensure the smooth running of all our tours to maximise your enjoyment of your NZ holiday.
The guides transport your luggage and provide backup on the road, they will give you informative briefings each morning outlining the points of interest. They will help with booking any activities you may like to try as well as being great travel buddies. They will endeavour to help you do the things you want to do on your motorcycle holiday.
