Discovering the South Island on a

BMW1200RT Motorcycle

With long, open roads and beautiful views, New

Zealand is recognised as one of the best

motorcycling destinations in the world. We take

it one stage further, combining an impeccable

motorcycling tour with some of our unique

activities and people.

The South Island - with more kilometres of roads

and fewer people - is widely recognised as the

best island for motorcycling. But, as always, we

are reluctant to miss out on some of the special

things the North Island offers.

People with limited time are welcome to pick

and choose sections of this itinerary as per their

preference. As motorcyclists tend to go on trips

together, we have costed this itinerary for a group

of 10 motorcyclists on 5 motorcycles together with

a motorcycle guide and a comfortable support

vehicle with trailer driven by a second guide. We

can substitute Goldwings or Harleys. For those

interested in offroad motorcycles, we can put

together on-road, off-road variants in the trip.Th

>> Day 1 ChristchurchArrive in Christchurch and meet your guides/

check your equipment. Spend the evening in the

city centre.

>> Day 2 Heading to MarlboroughDrive three hours north to Marlborough and The

Convent. This is a lovely rolling coastal road

where if you wish you can stop at Kaikoura and

take a plane or helicopter to go whalewatching.

Enjoy a vineyard meal that evening.

>> Day 3 The Winding QueenDrive across the extremely winding Queen

Charlotte road before heading across to Nelson

and south to Motueka River Lodge. We estimate

three to four hours driving today across coastal,

mountain and river roads.

>> Day 4 Along the West CoastHead south along the West Coast. Stop at Punakaiki

for a walk around. End up at Franz Josef Glacier

Country Retreat after a long five hour’s worth of

driving. This is spectacular scenery of mountain

gorges and wild coastline.

>> Day 5 The GlaciersIf the weather is good, take a helicopter up to

see and land on the glaciers and also see Mount

Cook. Then continue south for three hours until

you reach spectacular Silver Pine Lodge.Th

>> Day 6 Helicopter ride into the mountainsTime for a non-motorbike day. Be picked up at the

lodge by helicopter and fly into the mountains for

an hour. Hopefully spot some wild animals as you

helicopter past glaciers and over remote valleys.

Land near the West Coast and transfer to jetboats

for a run out to the coast along a deserted river.

On arrival at the river mouth, meet the helicopter

again, this time bringing back divers with your

lunch of freshly caught crayfish. Have a barbecue

on the beach and then return to Silver Pine.

>> Day 7 Heading to QueenstownDrive two hours to Queenstown, staying in a

modern apartment in the centre with beautiful

lake views.

>> Day 8 The Lord of the Rings PerspectiveFree day - we suggest splitting up and doing

whatever you wish. We can of course put together

a special day for you. Our special days include:

helicopter trip to Milford Sound - possibly with

the pilot who did all the filming for Lord of the
