Our 10-Day Twin Island Discovery Tour begins in Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital, and finishes in Auckland, the iconic City of Sails. Over 10 incredible days, you’ll ride some of the country’s best motorcycling roads while experiencing the dramatic landscapes of both islands.
In the South Island, enjoy the wild beauty of the rugged West Coast and the thrill of riding over Haast Pass and Lewis Pass. Crossing the Marlborough Sounds, we head north into the North Island, where volcanic peaks, alpine plateaus, and sparkling lakes await. Ride through the dramatic landscapes of Tongariro National Park and alongside the vast waters of Lake Taupo before continuing your journey north.
Each night, unwind in carefully selected hotels where comfort meets character, enjoy warm Kiwi hospitality, and savour delicious Pacific Rim cuisine. This is the perfect blend of exhilarating riding, breathtaking scenery, and first-class relaxation.
