Paradise Motorcycle Tours New Zealand

19/06/2026

Somewhere between where you started and where you're heading, you spot a road like this and think, "Yep, this'll do."

A bike loaded up, nowhere you urgently need to be, and another few hundred kilometres of New Zealand still waiting ahead. That's a pretty good day by our standards 🏍️🇳🇿

One of the things overseas visitors often mention is how much variety New Zealand packs into a relatively small country.

Coastlines, mountains, wildlife, vineyards, tiny towns and roads that keep you looking for excuses to stay out a little longer.

That's why a motorcycle works so well here. You're part of the landscape instead of just passing through it 🏍️🇳🇿 https://bit.ly/4weuTn5

One minute you're out riding some of New Zealand's best roads, the next you're underground looking at something that's been forming for thousands of years.

The glowworms get most of the attention, but the caves themselves are pretty spectacular too 🐛✨

Some people collect souvenirs.
Our lot collect kilometres 🏍️

A few days into a tour and everyone settles into the rhythm. Ride, stop, coffee, laugh, ride again. Before long, a group of strangers starts feeling like a bunch of mates out for a very long ride.

Most visitors have Milford Sound, Queenstown and Aoraki circled before they even land.
Then there are the places you discover once you start wandering a bit further.
Nelson Tasman is one of them. Quiet roads, coastline for days, small towns, good food and plenty of reasons to stay longer than planned 🇳🇿🏍️

That's one of the best things about travelling New Zealand by motorcycle. The places between the famous places often end up being the highlight.

Mount Cook doesn't really need a caption.

You spend hours getting there, round one last corner, and suddenly it's right in front of you. Bigger than expected, steeper than expected, and somehow still better than the photos 🏔️🇳🇿

This is more like it. When you arrive at that small-town bakery trying to decide whether one pie is enough. Chances are it isn't 🏍️🥧

These are the stops people remember. Not because they're famous, but because they end up being part of a bloody good day on the bike. This is New Zealand.

Some bikes are built to ride.

Some bikes are built because somebody in Munich thought, "let's make something insane." 🏍️
BMW's new M 1000 RR Isle of Man TT Edition is limited to just 115 bikes worldwide, celebrating the 115th running of the legendary TT. British Racing Green, TT course details worked into the design, and enough exclusivity to make collectors start checking their bank accounts.

We'll stick to touring bikes... but we definitely wouldn't mind a look 😎 https://bit.ly/4x5z45A

The thing about riding around New Zealand is that sometimes the day's best moment has nothing to do with the road. You finish the ride, look up, and the sky decides to put on a show 🌅🇳🇿

The Parliamentary Library has been part of New Zealand’s story for well over a century.

Places like this are a reminder that some of the country's most interesting landmarks aren’t found at the end of a hiking trail. They’re woven into the history, architecture and character of the places we ride through 🇳🇿
