Saddle up for an epic 8-day ride through New Zealand’s wild South Island—crafted for riders who thrive on dirt, grit, and the open unknown.

​

This adventure throws down over 2,150 kilometers of varied terrain, with more than 60% on dirt and gravel backroads that snake through mountains, valleys, and rugged high country. You’ll tackle over 40 river and water crossings—no two the same—and each one a shot of pure off-road adrenaline.

​

The core route is laid out, but it’s not rigid. We keep it flexible, ready to adapt based on the group’s appetite for challenge and exploration. This isn’t a ride for first-timers—solid off-road skills are essential to truly enjoy what’s ahead.

​

Travel light: your gear will be transported in a support vehicle, so you can focus on the ride. Each night, we’ll roll into remote country towns where a warm shower, a hearty feed, and good banter await.

​

This is more than a ride—it’s a full-throttle escape into the raw heart of Aotearoa. Ready to get dirty?
