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.
Where each journey goes
“The Wandrith app is brilliant, it is very intuitive...”
“...Communication was swift and precise, and we immediately got a warm feeling that Wandrith was the right fit for us...”
Your whole journey, in one app
On your phone or tablet, and on the bike’s own screen. About 60 days before you ride, your journey arrives in it, day by day.
- Every day’s route, where you stay and the highlights along the way
- Side quests and alternate roads you choose for yourself
- Turn by turn on the bike’s own screen, through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
- The day’s weather and road information, and the days you’ve opened ready with no signal
Prices and what’s included
Pillions ride free · No surprises pricing
- Each price is per bike: one rider, or a rider and a pillion, who rides free.
- On the smaller bikes, the F900GS Adventure costs about 5% less and the Himalayan 10% less.
- Each day of your journey is priced at the season it falls in, so a journey that runs from one season into the next costs a mix of the two.
- All prices include GST. No card surcharges, and nothing is added to your journey price later, apart from any activities you add.
- Travelling with a pair of bikes? Talk to us, as some accommodation may be able to be combined to reduce the cost.

Every bike’s price, journey by journey
Deposit and bond
A refundable 20% deposit secures your booking and locks your price. 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. The balance is due 60 days before you start, and we invoice the refundable security bond alongside the balance; the bond’s amount is in our terms.
