One could spend years taking in the epic scenery of New Zealand on foot, but why not speed things up a little bit by hopping on the back of a dirt bike instead? Numerous companies throughout the country offer off-road dirt bike adventures that’ll not only give you a thrill but also let you explore the views as you ride.
Off-Road Adventures in Queenstown has tailor-made tours that cover an expansive 11,000 acres across stunning hills and mountain vistas. They also offer quad tours for those who would rather be on four wheels.
Adventure Trailrides in Christchurch has dirt bikes, quads and enduro motorcycles for you to choose from and multi-day tours of the surrounding countryside. They operate year-round and the tours are one of the best ways to explore South Island.
Dirt Bike Tours NZ also has trails running throughout South Island, but might be a little more geared toward adventurous riders. They ride across hill climbs and river crossings and even give you the option of bringing your own bike and gear if you’ve got it.
No matter which outfit you choose, it’s definitely a unique way to explore the country and you’ll end up with quite the story to tell all of your friends.
