The UAMNZ Difference...
Adventure Riding Isn't Something We Offer... It's What We Do.
Ultimate Adventure Moto NZ is a dedicated adventure motorcycle tour operation, built from the ground up specifically for this style of riding.
As New Zealand's original dedicated adventure motorcycle tour operator, we've spent years exploring the country and refining routes that connect some of the best riding New Zealand has to offer.
​
We're also proud to be the only KTM Factory Authorised Adventure Tour Operator in New Zealand.
​
That partnership gives our riders access to a premium fleet of current-generation KTM adventure motorcycles — high-performance machines engineered for exactly the terrain we ride.
From the lightweight and agile KTM 390 Adventure R, to the incredibly versatile KTM 690 Enduro R, and the seriously high-performance KTM 890 Adventure R, our premium fleet gives every rider the choice of the perfect machine for their experience, riding style and adventure ahead.
World-class bikes. World-class riding. One extraordinary country. One Ultimate Team!​
More Than a Tour Company
​
Behind every UAMNZ tour is a substantial professional operation.
​
Our tours are supported by a large dedicated motorcycle fleet, professional guides, operations and logistics staff, support vehicles, workshop facilities and our flagship Christchurch adventure motorcycle depot. That scale matters.
​​
It means motorcycles are professionally prepared. Routes are thoroughly researched. Logistics are organised. Luggage moves when it needs to. Support is available when it's needed. And there is an experienced team behind every tour from the moment you arrive until the final bike is parked.
​​
For our riders, that means less time worrying about logistics and more time doing what you travelled halfway around the world to do: RIDE.
Small Groups. Big Adventures.
While our operation is large, our tour groups deliberately aren't.
We keep rider numbers limited to create a better experience on the trail — less waiting, easier logistics, more flexibility and a genuine connection between riders and guides.
You'll ride with experienced local guides who know these routes, understand the terrain and, most importantly, love riding motorcycles.
Our routes link together gravel roads, high-country stations, mountain passes, remote back-country tracks, river crossings and spectacular landscapes that most visitors to New Zealand will never see.
This isn't about ticking off tourist attractions. It's about the ride between them. ​
Your New Zealand Adventure Starts Here
Places are deliberately limited and many UAMNZ departures sell out well in advance.
Explore our Adventure Tour Calendar, choose your adventure and select any departure to see full tour details, available motorcycles, pricing and booking options.

NEW ZEALAND IS WAITING... We'll show you the best bits...
