Rental Motorcycles and Motorcycle Tours in New Zealand have been our business since 1987 when Te Waipounamu Motorcycle Tours was established. The popularity of New Zealand as a motorcycle destination is well justified and the isolation from the rest of the world means either motorcycle rental or guided tours are the only realistic options. We can help you like we have helped hundreds of others.

The reason for this is we offer the greatest range of motorcycles, many different styles of tours and the choice of locations. We are a specialist in this field. It's all we do, its not a part time money maker or a tag-on to a motorcycle shop with a few extra motorcycles to spare. Our prices are reasonable and our service first class. We have many repeat customers who appreciate this and what the country has to offer.

New Zealand is the way life in the rest of the world used to be. Or, perhaps more precisely, the way life was meant to be. It is a place where people remember you, where tips are unexpected, smog is unheard of and a place where you will be listened to and cared about.

From the beauty of the harbours and seashore to the awesome snow capped Southern Alps, New Zealand offers one delightful surprise after another. One of the biggest surprises is that the country is not swamped with tourists, and that the citizens treat a traveller with friendly generosity often lacking in other parts of the world.

Add to that excellent, traffic-free roads, ever-changing scenery and you have the ideal location for a wonderful motorcycle holiday.

We hope after reading our prospectus you will find something that suits you. Some flexibility can often be built into our arrangements. Don't hesitate to contact us or any of our overseas agents. They have all been here more than once so there is not much they don't know. We also have a long list of satisfied customers if you want to get an independent opinion, one will live close by. We look forward to seeing you.
