Welcome – get in early for the 2024/25 season.

Central Otago Motorcycle Hire is set in New Zealand’s best motor cycle riding area – Central Otago and the Queenstown Lakes district.

Central Otago Motorcycle Tours are based near Queenstown New Zealand and offer a variety of motorcycling adventures in the South Island of New Zealand. The South Island of New Zealand has some of the most diverse scenery in the world with mountains, lakes, rain forest, glaciers, coastal areas, farmland, fiords and many attractions and activities to enjoy en route. All our tours are flexible and can be tailored to meet your time, budget and interests – for some of the possible variations see individual tours on the Trail Bike Tours and Road Tours tabs. Tours can be arranged for two or more motorcycles (with or without pillions). A guided tour for a single motorcycle can also be arranged, but carries a surcharge. Note we also hire motorcycles for you to set off on your own journey for 1 or more days. See Tour S3 on Southern Scenic Road Tours to include the Burt Munro Challenge in February. Note tours can be arranged for other rallies including the Vincent County Rally (February), March Hare (March) and Cold Kiwi (ride to the North Island – September). Give us a call to discuss any or all of the foregoing.

Your Motorcycle Tour experience in New Zealand:

We offer to you … personalised motorcycle tours in the south of New Zealand and further if required. With our experience of riding the North and South Islands over many years, and also overseas touring, we are able to help you with all aspects of your local motorcycling adventure. The wide range of bikes available ensures you are able to select the right “tool” for the job, from cruising the scenic highways on a Harley Road King to doing a bit extra on an adventure bike or exploring the golden hills of Central Otago on an easy to ride road legal Honda CRF230, we have the vehicle for you. Overseas ratings of motorcycling destinations continually rate New Zealand as one of the best, and Central Otago and the Queenstown Lakes as the “Jewel in the Crown.” Bookings are heavy during the summer and autumn months so get in early to ensure you get your choice of dates and bike. Don’t forget we have all the gear from helmets to cordura – so if you don’t want to lug your jacket all over the world we have plenty of top quality gear available. For those arriving in Queenstown, we offer a pick-up service from your hotel or the airport. Pick-up is also available from Wanaka, Alexandra and Cromwell. Dave and Janeen
