What we do
Every journey comes with the bike you choose, every night’s accommodation, the route in your app and, where you cross it, the Cook Strait ferry.
Each route is our starting point: we shape it around what you’d like to see and where there’s room to stay.
Somewhere special every night
Hotels and serviced apartments, chosen for the setting as much as the room, such as The Hermitage at Aoraki / Mount Cook.
Your route, your call
Every day’s route, turn by turn on the bike’s own screen. Review tomorrow’s ride from your room and choose side quests or alternate routes with a single tap.
The details taken care of
The exact bike you booked, with panniers, top box and a CarPlay and Android Auto screen. Roadside assistance from the AA and a satellite beacon on every bike.
What riders say
“...Communication was swift and precise, and we immediately got a warm feeling that Wandrith was the right fit for us...”
“The Wandrith app is brilliant, it is very intuitive...”

Two ways to ride. Our sister brand, intrepidUs, rides the same roads on the same bikes, with simpler stays. How they compare
Rather talk it through?
A 30-minute discovery call, or a message on WhatsApp or Messenger.
Book a discovery callQuestions riders ask
What motorcycling experience do I need?
We ask for at least two years of riding experience on a motorcycle similar to the one you book.
That way the bike feels familiar from the first morning, and the road gets your full attention.
Every rider must also be at least 25, with a full motorcycle licence.
Can I bring my partner, son, daughter or friend as a passenger?
Yes. Pillions ride free. Two people on one bike pay the price of the bike and share the room, with no extra charge on any of our journeys. It’s our standard price, not an offer.
Your pillion brings their own helmet and riding gear, as you do.
What is the accommodation like?
A mix of hotels and serviced apartments, with the occasional speciality stay, such as a log cabin, depending on the journey. We choose somewhere special every night, for the stay itself or for the setting.
The earlier you book, the wider the choice. We don’t wait to book your accommodation: we book every night as soon as your deposit is paid. We have to get in quick, because many of the special places we use take only one booking at a time. If we ever need to make a major change to your nights, we talk to you first, and if you’d rather not go ahead, we treat it as our cancellation and refund your deposit in full.
What do I need for my Wandrith journey?
You’ll need:
- Your full motorcycle licence: the original, physical licence, with an International Driving Permit or an approved English translation if it isn’t in English.
- An NZeTA before you fly (or a visa, if you’re not from a visa waiver country); Australian citizens need neither.
- Travel insurance, which is essential.
- Your own riding gear: helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves and boots.
- A hotel stay before and after your journey (we can suggest one), with at least one full day of rest after you arrive, to adjust to New Zealand time before you ride.
On the road, you pay for fuel after the first tank, lunches and dinners, and any activities. More in our guide: what to pack for a New Zealand motorcycle tour.
Are you a licensed operator?
Yes. We hold a government Transport Service Licence (TSL), and every motorcycle carries a current Certificate of Fitness (CoF), the safety and roadworthiness standard for commercial vehicles in New Zealand.
We are listed in the Tourism New Zealand operator database, and we are members of Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA), the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).
