Optional diversions to Goat Island Marine Reserve or the iconic surf haven of Piha add extra allure to this opening leg.
Travel south along the stunning Hauraki Gulf, leaving the city behind as you approach the Coromandel Peninsula for Day 2 — renowned for its relaxed luxury, secluded beaches, and some of New Zealand’s most scenic riding. The winding Kopu-Hikuai Road offers breathtaking coastal views, guiding you into Whitianga, a charming seaside town with a welcoming, easy-going vibe. Don’t miss a stop at Hot Water Beach, where you can dig your own natural spa pool in the sand, or simply enjoy the golden beaches and gentle pace that define this coastal haven.
From Whitianga, head inland through lush farmlands to the thermal heart of the North Island. Rotorua awaits on Day 3 with its bubbling mud pools, steaming vents, and rich Māori culture. En route, consider a detour to the world-famous Hobbiton movie set, nestled in the green hills near Matamata. Spend time soaking in natural hot springs and exploring local attractions, from Whakarewarewa Forest trails to cultural performances at Te Puia.
Ride from Rotorua through King Country, with a stop at the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, an underground wonder of sparkling light. Continue on to New Plymouth, where the majestic Mount Taranaki offers a picture-perfect volcanic backdrop. The next day, conquer the Forgotten World Highway, one of New Zealand’s most iconic touring routes, with its hidden valleys and timeless charm. Pause in the quirky Republic of Whangamōmona for a coffee and passport stamp before continuing to Taupō, nestled beside the country’s largest lake.
Savour a leisurely day in Taupō, where luxury meets adventure. Take a lakeside stroll, indulge in a boutique spa experience, or explore geothermal wonders like Huka Falls and Craters of the Moon. Optional routes reveal hidden gems and scenic backroads. Your final ride takes you through the Waikato region, known for its lush countryside and gentle charm, before concluding your journey in Auckland — the perfect finale to a week of refined exploration and world-class riding.
