“If you are considering an adventurous tour of the South Island then you must check out Adventure Guide. This is the site I used to plan my journey, the most comprehensive site of its type I have ever seen and well and truly gets my vote. Everything from easy gravel tracks to real challenging terrain all for the taking. Highly recommend”

“Adventure Guide NZ was an essential tool for planning my one-month motorcycle trip across New Zealand, and the South Island in particular. The detailed route descriptions paired with pictures of what the roads look like made it a whole lot easier to plan my route, and also helped me discover incredible tracks and hidden campsites I might have missed otherwise. It's the perfect resource for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure!”
