I have always thought of biking in New Zealand as the ultimate motorcycling road trip, and it turned out to be every bit as true with South Pacific Motorcycle Tours (SPMT). FYI, my partner and I picked the 11-day self guided tour, with 2 additional rest-or-ride days - just to absorb a wee bit more of New Zealand! Booking the... More

Simply, I rented a bike to tour around the South Island of New Zealand for 7 days from South Pacific. They arranged all hotel/ lodging for me. To be precise:- The bike is perfect; the literary is perfect; time traveling each day is perfect (not too long, not too short) so I can enjoy the ride of the best roads... More

This was our dream vacation of a lifetime! We opted for the 14 day self-guided tour and it couldn’t have been better! The Bed and Breakfasts that were arranged for us were exquisite! Our scheduled tours were fantastic! The itinerary and information packet were wonderful! The bikes are in excellent shape and ride beautifully! New Zealand is a perfect vacation... More

Simply put, an incredbly journey through a remarkable land, masterfully lead by Mike and Carole Lester of SPMT. We rode a late model Harley Road King through some of the most beautiful and remarkable landscape we had ever encountered. The bike was in top condition, the route and accomodations maticulously planned, and our guides helped create a family environment amongst... More

We agreed to this trip with our friends without doing any research. Mike, Carole and Simon were amazing. We did a 11 day guided trip with Mike expertly leading the way and Carole driving the support vehicle. It was so nice to have her there bringing our luggage along. We all became good friends, ate great food and stayed in... More

How would you describe the perfect motorcycle ride? Galloping though switchbacks alongside a glacial lake with an endless backdrop of majestic mountains? Climbing the alps looking down on long lazy white clouds ticking the mountain side? Hugging the sea with the ocean licking your boots? Ambling through pristine pastures? All of this and more is waiting for you on the... More

Since our holiday in New Zealand we took part in 2 further "premium" motorcycle-tours: Rajasthan, India and Peru and Chile in South America. Both profiders did not come close to the overall service of South Pacific Motorcycle Tours. The bikes came well maintained with few kilometers and were clean every morning, the guides were knowledgable in reference to the streets,... More
