Fly in, gear up, and hit the road — You've spent the day carving through alpine passes and coastal curves, each twist of the throttle revealing another postcard-perfect vista. Now the sun's dropping low, and you pull up to a lakeside lodge where dinner and a room with a view are waiting. Tomorrow, it's a vineyard retreat. The next night, a mountain chalet.
This is just one of the things Wandrith does differently. Every night's stay is hand-selected to match the majesty of the landscape you've just ridden through — luxury that feels earned, comfort that enhances the adventure, hospitality that reminds you why New Zealand is special.
You'll ride the latest BMW and Royal Enfield adventure motorcycles — two of the world's most respected names in long-distance touring — with every route pre-loaded into the exclusive Wandrith Journey App. No tour groups, no compromises. Just you, world-class roads, and accommodation worthy of the journey.

Most motorcycle tour companies focus on offering guided group rides — and they do a fine job. But if riding in a pack isn’t your style, we get it.
Wandrith is different. We focus exclusively on one thing — and we do it exceptionally well: Self-Guided Motorcycle Journeys across Aotearoa New Zealand.
All you need is your riding gear and your spirit of adventure. We’ll take care of the rest.
“…Communication was swift and precise, and we immediately got a warm feeling that Wandrith was the right fit for us… Wandrith worked in conjunction with us to provide a bespoke tour which fitted our needs… If you are looking for a self guided tour with mapping and lodgings provided and which surpasses your expectations, I have no hesitation in recommending Wandrith.”
— Louise & Chris, Spain, 32-day Odyssey
The Wandrith Journey App is built exclusively for Wandrith riders — transforming your self-guided motorcycle journey into a fully connected, seamless experience.

Wandrith is for riders who value a premium experience. But not everyone needs boutique lodges or luxury villas — sometimes, a clean and comfortable bed is all you need. If the same epic roads, with well-kept hotels, motels, or even campgrounds, sound more your style, our adventurous sibling intrepidUs is your match!
(opens in new window)
Same epic country, same freedom, different style.
Absolutely — a Wandrith journey is even better when shared!
There is no extra charge to bring a pillion passenger on any of our journeys.
Expect a mix of luxury hotels and serviced apartments, with occasional specialty accommodation like log cabins (depending on the tour).
We aim for every night to be somewhere special, whether that's the accommodation itself, or the location.
The earlier you book, the better your accommodation options. In most cases we confirm your lodging within two weeks of booking, and if major changes are needed, you’ll be consulted or offered a full deposit refund.
We require that you have at least two years of riding experience on a motorcycle similar to the one you’re booking.
This ensures you’ll be comfortable, confident, and able to enjoy your journey to the fullest.
