Guided adventures

Explore New Zealand by Motorcycle

New Zealand is made for adventure motorcycling — and the South Island is where some of the best riding can be found.

At Kohatu Motorcycle Centre, we offer guided adventure motorcycle experiences throughout the South Island, taking you beyond the usual tourist routes and onto the back roads, gravel roads, private farms, trails and spectacular landscapes that make New Zealand such a unique riding destination.

Whether you're visiting from Australia, the USA, or anywhere else in the world, let a local rider show you the best of what New Zealand has to offer.

Ride More. See More. Experience New Zealand.

Our guided adventures are designed for riders who want to experience New Zealand from the seat of a motorcycle, without having to spend months researching routes, permissions, accommodation and logistics.

We'll take care of the planning and navigation while you concentrate on riding and enjoying the experience.

Expect spectacular scenery, challenging but achievable riding, remote back-country roads, great local food and plenty of opportunities to stop, explore and take it all in.

Your Adventure, Your Way

Guided rides can be tailored to suit your experience, available time and interests.

Choose from:

• Day rides exploring the Nelson–Tasman region

• Multi-day adventures throughout the South Island

• Back-country and gravel road adventures

• Scenic touring combined with off-road riding

• Private or small-group guided experiences

• Custom itineraries designed around you and your riding ability

• Motorcycle Hire available with a local motorcycle hire company we work with.

Whether you're an experienced adventure rider looking for challenging terrain or simply want to experience the South Island at a more relaxed pace, we'll build an adventure to suit you.
