Colin put together a fantastic tour of the north island of New Zealand. It was a great combination of sweepers, rolling hills, tight twisties, and breathtaking scenery. It was great to have all the hotels, bike rental, and side trips planned by someone who has done it before. Colin was very knowledgeable and made the trip special. Highly recommended!
The 18-day South Island tour in New Zealand was awesome. My son & I really enjoyed the sceneries, histories and the vibes of all the places we visited. Colin was flexible to our suggestions to make certain changes or ideas along the way. We had fun and laughters everyday riding as if we were best buddies riding on weekends. Great to have known you, Colin.
The 18-day North Island tour of New Zealand was very well laid out. Far better than I could have hoped for. Colin our guide knows the island and its history so well. We all learned a lot and had a great time. Money well spent. I have done a lot of motorcycle trips this one tops them all. I will look into doing the South Island of New Zealand with Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours.
Pohutukawa Tours
My wife and I booked an 18 day tour to explore both islands of New Zealand with Pohutukawa Tours. We had initially planned on a guided tour but decided to do a self guided tour instead. Colin and Lynette made all the arrangements from airport transfers, hotel rooms and ferry boat tickets. We arrived a few days early to get acclimated to New Zealand time and Colin was able to get our bike 3 days early so we could have a 19 day adventure. We were given a wonderful itinerary that outlined each day’s ride and restaurant recommendations and places to stop and explore on each day. We were advised of which attractions we would need to make reservations at so we would be able to get the most out of our trip. The roads he mapped out gave us a thrilling ride and beautiful scenery every day. The trip was definitely a once in a lifetime adventure.
Todd and Donna.
Just back from an amazing 13-day self-guided Canadian Rockies tour with Pohutukawa motorcycle tours. So well organized and planned for us by Colin. The best bike, the best routes and best hotels. Cannot recommend them enough for your next tours. Thanks very much Colin.
My wife and I rode the 27-day 2 Island New Zealand unguided tour in February 2024. Wow! We’ve toured much of the western US and Canada during our 40 years of riding together and this was like all the best parts of that rolled together. The riding was spectacular.
Colin was there (virtually) throughout and jumped right on a last-minute arrival change we had to make. The entire trip went as planned, in 27 days we had only one 10-minute delay that occurred at a hotel check in, that’s it! Amazing.
We might have been a bit nervous about riding a used rental bike but the professionals at Te Waipounamu had the bike well tuned and with shops on both islands it was nice knowing a repair or replacement were only a few hours away.
One of the things that made this trip so special was how every day's experience was excellent. The planning was spot on with lots of ideas for activities and recommended eating spots included in our personal travel guidebook.
Serious Rides for Serious Riders. Indeed!
I enjoyed riding with Colin & Lynette. Both are great people, so much fun!!
They are very knowledgeable about their tours; they are very safe and plan an excellent itinerary. I highly recommend Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours.
Excellent tour. Reccomend them to anyone. Great riding good company.
Thankyou Colin and Lynette for two very enjoyable Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours. Each tour has given us great rides and scenery, something different with each tour. Great adventures and lots of fun.
Looking forward to our next tour hopefully in 2024.
A big thanks to the team at Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours. Another gre...at trip organized to the South Island of New Zealand. Weather at times was challenging but the organizing of accommodation and riding times was excellent. A great bunch of riders and many laughs had by all. Seen some of New Zealand's great sights. Looking forward to another trip with them. Thanks again.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime excellent adventure! I had a great time with Colin and Lynette, they really made me feel comfortable on my bike and I learned a lot. Wonderful camaraderie! Couldn’t ask for nicer people. All the mountain passes and the switchbacks were really great. I am a much better rider now after this adventure. Saw many amazing lands- rolling fields, landmarks (Devil’s Tower, Mount Rushmore, Black Hills, Yellowstone...). Animals too! Buffalo, deer, antelope, elk, bear, moose... Thank you for a great adventure!!
This company does an amazing tours and everything they set up such as hotels , restaurants, the roads they travel are just great. We highly recommend using them any chance you get
Positive
Responsiveness, Professionalism, Value
I opted for the self-guided 18-day tour of both islands and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour. It was well-organized and, although everything didn't go according to plan, it was like Colin was with me every kilometre of the trip. A last minute change of motels in one place, a change in scheduling for the ferry crossing are examples of how Pohutukawa took care of me from beginning to end and made my adventure memorable and completely enjoyable. I highly recommend New Zealand as a travel destination. It is beyond a doubt a motorcyclist's paradise!
First, we are so grateful to Colin and Lynette for putting together such a wonderful trip. They really did their best to share the best of the North Island with us: great roads and scenery and sightseeing, fascinating museums and cultural displays and the glowworm cave, terrific food, and -most of all- wonderful people. We enjoyed it all more than we can say.
Our stay at the sheep station was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable of the trip.
What a gem of a country! I especially appreciated the fact that you can still find good roads that go right along the water's edge, so you can actually see the ocean, and pause at a beach or a bay to enjoy the sand and surf and wildlife without having to dodge high-risers or go in and out and back and forth. And the Southern Alps - wow!
Our time on New Zealand's North Island was very well planned by Colin and Lynette, so there wasn't much more that we could have hoped for.
Did a tour around the North Island (Te Ika a Maui) of New Zealand (Aotearoa) with Colin & Lynette on a Pohutukawa Tours Motorcycle Tour.
Had an absolute blast. Great Company. Great accommodation. Great scenery.
I did the North Island, New Zealand tour in November 2011 with the team from Pohutukawa Motorcycle tours. Colin and Lynette were great tour guides, their organization was impeccable and the accommodation was comfortable and affordable. Their route took in some of New Zealand's most scenic sights and the roads were some of the best in the world to ride on. Looking forward to joining the 2016 tour.
Fantastic roads, beautiful scenery and terrific tour guides. Colin & Lynette showed us some of the most enjoyable countryside we have ridden through. Native bush, sandy beaches, fantastic hills made for motorcycling, wonderful people and some of the best food we’ve ever eaten. New Zealand is a motorcyclist dream and Pohutukawa Motorcycle Tours did a terrific job of showing it to us.
Rain forests, rugged mountains, thermal areas, a fantastic show by the native Maoris, wonderful accommodations (I’m torn between the 200 year old hotel with the most amazing chef or the boots on the ground stay on a working sheep farm [station] to decide which was the best), Pohutukawa Tours lived up to their claim of at least one wow factor a day and gave us the tour of a life time.
This was my first organized tour and my first-time riding in New Zealand, and it was amazing. The scenery was great, and the roads were terrific. Colin and Lynette were fantastic tour guides and provided lots of interesting information about the countryside we rode through; this made the tour really interesting.
Pohutukawa Tours did a wonderful job and provided me with a well-planned and organized tour. I will be going on another of their tours in New Zealand.
Great rides lined up and could not ask for a better Road Captain and Staff.
