I had Paradise Motorcycle Tours set me up on a 12-day solo trip around the South Island of New Zealand in November of 2017 and I had wonderful experience all around. Everything about my trip exceeded my expectations. I rode a nice BMW GS1200, my daily route was fantastic - there was just the right amount of road time and they recommended plenty of things to see and do each day as well. My accommodations each night were excellent. I had an amazing time thanks to Paradise and I'm ready to return already. There are just not enough superlatives to describe it! New Zealand didn't disappoint me in the least and Wayne from Paradise epitomizes the great Kiwi hospitality and friendliness of New Zealand.
