A motorcycle tour of South Island is a must for your bucket list!! Neil and I experienced 14 days, self guided tour of this beautiful island. For starters, the customer service received was paramount. Brenda made our selection easy and nothing was ever a problem! She helped customise our tour as we wanted to add a couple more attractions we wanted to visit. The 2 BMW GS's were the perfect bikes for this trip yet riding South Island was much much more than the marketing predicts .. We were in awe of its beauty. Locals were so friendly, cafes & eateries, no shortage and all very good! You must try the pies!!! Accommodation was comfortable & GPS included with our bikes. Do yourself a favor, ride South Island NZ with Paradise ... it's the best!! Thank you Brenda, Wayne and the Team at Paradise ...you Guys Rock!!…

We have been traveling from Auckland to Christchurch between November 2019. Thanks to Brenda from Paradise Motorcycle / "PMC" as he was more than supportive in helping us to organize our trip which included not only the directions but also areas which are a must to visit. After arriving on South Island, very far away from PMC's service station, I realized that I damaged the front wheel of my bike and I thought this is the end for tour. It has been most impressive how quickly PMC solved my problem in changing the damaged bike over night !!!! Special thanks again to Wayne from PMC…

I loved this trip. There are so few places in the world where you can travel without being crowded by hundreds of other tourists, and if that’s what you want, you won’t do much better than south NZ. The tour is arranged perfectly, and leaves enough room for you to explore on your own if you want. The entire country is amazing, so you don’t need to worry about going out of your way to find the stuff you saw in LOTR, that’s just what it looks like everywhere. Staff was excellent and gave me everything I needed to have a perfect trip, routes were well planned and every destination was amazing. Can’t speak highly enough of this tour company. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s worth it. When was the last time you could say you rode 300 miles without seeing another person? I was there in December, peak travel season, and that was a near daily experience. Fair warning, the route can be challenging and is best suited to more experienced riders.…

From the time the bike (a BMW R1200GS) was handed over until it was dropped off after 4600km and three weeks all that Paradise set up for us was excellent! We opted for the self -guided option and it worked really well for us. The motels were great (some superb!) and the routes loaded into the satnav were all great - this was no doubt assisted by the awesome New Zealand scenery and the great weather we had! Both my wife and myself could not recommend enough and we visited some wonderful places and were amazed how clean NZ is - it puts the UK to shame. The people we met were just so friendly and went out of their way to be welcoming - this was in all places and facilities The motels booked were all of a great standard and the guide showed us some superb restaurant recommendations - which we used many times! The bike was excellent and in great order and we had no issues (apart from the fact I got on so well with it I have now ordered one!) Would not hesitate to recommend for the holiday of a lifetime!…

It is hard to pick a favorite part of our tour. It was all great. We were lucking enough to have great weather the whole trip. I would have to pick the west coast ride to the pancake rocks. Lots of different scenery. The whole trip was very well planned right down to the accommodations. The GPS took us right to the motel every night. The bike was super. We decided to go with very little planning but Paradise set us up with a great bike on short notice. Our self guided tour was perfect for us.…
