Qualmark is the official Tourism New Zealand quality agency that reviews tourism operators and accommodation providers.
We are also the only motorcycle tourism operator that is carbon neutral. To support eco-tourism, we plant twice the amount of trees each year than is necessary to offset our carbon emissions. We carry containers for recyclable materials in our tour support vehicle and use environmentally friendly products to clean our motorcycles and mini-bus.

Safety is paramount, which is a one of the many reasons why Paradise Motorcycles is a Qualmark endorsed activity.

We also provide bike familiarisation and a safety briefing on what to expect on New Zealand roads, before you start your journey.

I was a passenger with [my husband].The tour is designed, of course, for lots of riding through amazingly stunning landscapes but also builds in time to allow the exploration of the local area. For example we visited wineries, botanical gardens and brewery to name a few. However getting onto the bike and hitting the roads was our greatest desire. Mike, the tour leader, sets a practical pace that is inclusive for everyone's skill level. We gained so much appreciation for his leadership. Nonetheless, Jo whom drove the support van managed to meet us at stops along the way. She is truly an extraordinary Paradise Associate who has the best interest in all of the riders.
