This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

A full-day guided adventure ride through Queenstown's iconic backcountry, gravel roads and off-road terrain. Ride with local guides and experience the South Island beyond the tourist roads.

Depending on conditions and rider experience, routes may include Skippers Canyon Road, Nevis Road and Paradise Valley - each chosen to match your level and give the best scenery on the day.

Ideal for first-time adventure riders, confident road riders wanting to try off-road, travellers short on time, couples and small groups. No off-road experience needed, but a valid motorcycle licence is required (not for absolute beginners).

Ride a Yamaha Tenere 700, GasGas 700, CFMoto 450MT or Suzuki DR650. Bike, local guide, fuel, insurance, photos and video, and Queenstown pickup are included.

We're a Queenstown-based motorcycle company, not a generic tour operator: locally scouted routes, properly set-up bikes, and guides who are riders first. Season: October - April.
