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.

I did a solo late winter/ early spring ride for 16 days through the North and South Islands. Initially I was apprehensive of how I would fare alone but the PMT crew's high standards of organization and planning made this a ride I'll remember. Their itinerary plotted long rides through magnificent scenery while still allowing time to rest and experience attractions along the way and also at day's end. Destinations alternated between rural to urban, meandering over the island and thus leaving no chance for boredom to set in and always offering new experiences. Roads from coastal to alpine were always exciting and scenic, more beautiful than online photos can do justice to.
