The Rideabikenz Difference
Local Knowledge. Personal Service. Unforgettable Riding.
We're not a large international tour operator offering the same itinerary to everyone. Rideabikenz is a boutique, family-run New Zealand motorcycle business, passionate about sharing the incredible riding opportunities our country has to offer.
Based near Christchurch, the gateway to the South Island, we know the roads, the hidden gems and the places that make a motorcycle holiday truly memorable.
Here's what makes us different:
Personally designed adventures – Every tour is created around you, your riding ability, interests and travel preferences. No generic itineraries.
Real local riding knowledge – From the spectacular West Coast and Southern Alps to scenic gravel roads and remote back-country routes, we'll help you discover the best of New Zealand.
Quality motorcycles – A carefully maintained fleet of adventure and road-touring motorcycles, prepared for New Zealand conditions.
Freedom and flexibility – Travel independently, stop for that perfect photograph, enjoy a longer lunch or spend extra time somewhere special.
Personal service from start to finish – You'll deal directly with our experienced Rideabikenz team, not an overseas booking agency.
The little extras – Local recommendations, hidden attractions and thoughtful touches that turn a good motorcycle holiday into a great one.
Our goal is simple: to create the kind of New Zealand motorcycle adventure we'd love to experience ourselves.
