Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before deciding if this adventure is right for you.

How experienced do I need to be?

This ride is best suited to intermediate-level riders. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable riding over longer distances and handling a mix of sealed roads, gravel, and off-road terrain.

If you’re not quite at that level yet, we offer training courses, including a Level 1 program, to help build your skills and confidence before the trip.

What is included in the trip?

The trip is designed to remove the stress of planning so you can focus on riding.

Included:

Curated daily routes across South Island terrain

A fully structured 6-day itinerary

Organised accommodation throughout the trip

Group riding experience with like-minded riders

Pre-planned logistics so you don’t need to organise anything

A full breakdown is available inside the info kit.

Do I bring my own bike or hire one?

We recommend hiring a bike for this trip.

For Australian riders, transporting your own bike to New Zealand can be time-consuming and complicated, so hiring is usually the easiest and most practical option. We can connect you with a trusted local hire company to organise this.

If you’re based in New Zealand, you’re welcome to bring your own bike.

Hire bikes are limited, so it’s important to organise early.

Can my partner come?

Yes.

Your partner can:

- Join as a pillion passenger, or

- Travel alongside in a 4WD support vehicle, experiencing the same locations and stops as the riders

This allows them to be part of the full experience, even if they’re not riding.

What happens if something goes wrong with my bike?

You’re not on your own.
We have support vehicles and mechanical backup throughout the trip, so if anything happens, we’ll get you sorted and back riding.

How many riders are on the trip?

We keep groups limited (max 50 riders) to ensure a better experience, smoother logistics, and a more enjoyable ride for everyone.

Who is this ride NOT for?

This isn’t for complete beginners or riders who prefer short, easy weekend rides.
It’s built for riders who want something bigger, longer, and more rewarding.

What happens after I get the info kit?

You’ll get full details on the trip, pricing, and options. From there, you can decide if it’s right for you and secure your spot when you’re ready.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You keep talking about doing a big trip… but it never actually happens

  • You’re not sure where the best riding actually is

  • Planning routes, accommodation and logistics feels like too much effort

Don't worry, we can help!
