Sustainability and Safety in New Zealand

Sustainability

New Zealand is known for its clean fresh air and pristine landscapes, and we want to help keep it that way. We are the only motorcycle company in New Zealand that is a Qualmark Endorsed Tourism Operator has earned a Qualmark Enviro Award for environmental commitment and is Carbon Positive. Qualmark is the official Tourism New Zealand quality agency that reviews tourism operators and accommodation providers.

Carbon Positive

We are thrilled to be Carbon Positive. After a series of complex calculations by an independent third party to measure our total carbon emissions for scope 1,2and 3 we purchased 160 Native Trees to offset 69.69 tonnes of carbon emissions. We produced 55.55 tonnes of carbon emissions so have purchased enough trees to offset 125% of our carbon emissions, hence Carbon Positive. The trees are planted in Atiu national park near Auckland.

Safety

Safety is paramount, which is a one of the many reasons why Paradise Motorcycles is a Qualmark endorsed activity. Your accommodation on the night before your tour and at the end of the tour is booked as part of the package. So no one has to ride fatigued on the day they fly in. We also provide bike familiarisation and a safety briefing on what to expect on New Zealand roads, before you start your journey.

Our fleet of motorcycles are main dealer maintained to the highest standards. Self-guided motorcycle tour riders are provided with a GPS that has their route pre-programmed. All of our tour guides are fully trained first-aiders who carry a satellite phone for emergencies, and every tour package includes 24-hour roadside assistance and comprehensive motorcycle insurance.

At Paradise Motorcycles, we want to provide you with a safe holiday, with minimum environmental impact, so future generations may enjoy New Zealand as we do.

  • The European alps tour by Paradise Motorcycle Tours was an exciting, amazing, fun time. The scenery is stunning and the roads incredible. Mike and Jo have done a huge amount of research and tweaking to ensure the tour, accommodation and food are all of the highest quality. Mike was an excellent guide and Jo's warm, bubbly personality quickly made us all feel part of a team. Their attitude and personalities make them perfect to run this sort of business. Any issues were quickly sorted and nothing was too much trouble. It's reinvigorated our love of biking. We would definitely recommend!
