We’ll start our engines and cruise through town toward the iconic Tutukaka Coast. Enjoy a scenic coffee stop, followed by a relaxed lunch overlooking the harbour. After lunch, we’ll wind our way inland via rural roads before reconnecting with State Highway 1 and heading north along one of Northland’s most stunning coastal stretches. Arrive in Russell for your first overnight stay, either at a historic waterside hotel or a secluded bushland Airbnb with spa facilities. It’s your choice.
Spend the morning at your own pace. Explore the marine reserve on a cruise to the Hole in the Rock, relax on secluded beaches, or just soak up the views. After a ferry ride to Paihia and lunch in town, we ride the scenic inland road to Kerikeri and visit the historic Stone Store, sample local chocolate, or enjoy a drink at the old pub. Then we head north via the stunning Matai Bay route to Whangaroa. Tonight’s stay offers more options: a harbourside lodge or a peaceful B&B with elevated views.
We’ll start the day with coffee in Mangonui before heading north to Cape Reinga or west to Ahipara, depending on tide conditions. Whether coming or going, you’ll experience the legendary Ninety Mile Beach where we’ll set up a good old Kiwi BBQ in the middle of nowhere. Swim, surf cast, crack a beer and enjoy the freedom. Finish the day with a coastal cruise to Opononi for the night, staying at the iconic Sands Hotel.
We begin with a visit to the mighty Waipoua Forest to see the giant kauri trees, then cruise past stunning dune lakes to Baylys Beach for a laid-back lunch at a funky local pub. From there, wind through Dargaville and down the coast to Mangawhai, with stops at Waipu and Langs Beach. You’ll spend your final night at a comfortable local B&B, where a hosted dinner wraps up the journey. The next morning, we’ll see you off to the airport, or back on the road.
Join Hog Tours for 6 nights and 5 unforgettable days on a Harley, exploring the full stretch of Northland and beyond. Each night you’ll stay in handpicked Airbnb’s and boutique hotels set in some of the most picturesque and memorable spots the region has to offer.
This extended ride lets you dive deeper into Northland’s stunning landscapes to enjoy rolling bush, white-sand beaches and hidden coastal roads. You’ll head north to the tip of the country and then trace a different route back, looping through scenic east coast roads and the Matakana wine region.
Every leg of the ride brings new views, local stories, and the chance to discover places most travellers never see. It’s a relaxed, fully guided experience built for riders who want more time on the road, more stops to explore, and the freedom to make it their own.
All other meals are self-catered, so you can choose where and when to refuel at a local pub, with fresh fish and chips or fine regional dining.
We’ll collect you from the airport and bring you north to your first night’s stay in a locally hosted B&B. Settle in, meet your hosts, and enjoy a catered evening meal to kick things off.
The ride begins! Head through rolling countryside to the stunning Tutukaka Coast. Grab coffee with a view and enjoy lunch overlooking the harbour. Then twist inland along quiet, winding roads back to State Highway 1 before taking the scenic route north to Russell. You’ll stay either waterside in the historic township or tucked into native bush just out of town.
Enjoy a relaxed morning with time to explore the Bay of Islands: take a boat trip, go diving or snorkelling, or just enjoy the beaches. After a ferry hop to Paihia and lunch in town, ride to Kerikeri to explore historic sites and artisan food spots. Then head up the east coast past stunning bays and beaches to Whangaroa Harbour for the night.
Today’s ride heads as far north as the road will take us: Cape Reinga. Depending on tides, you’ll ride along the sands of Ninety Mile Beach or take the inland route. Somewhere in the wild north, we’ll fire up a BBQ for lunch and have a cold drink, a swim, and maybe cast the fishing rod. That night you’ll stay in Ahipara or nearby.
Cruise down through the wild west coast to Opononi via Kaitaia. There’s time to explore local sights, relax by the water, or even go sandboarding on the dunes. You’ll stay at the famous Sands Hotel or similar, right by the harbour.
Ride through the heart of the Waipoua Forest, where the ancient kauri trees can be found. From there, we’ll head to Baylys Beach for a pub lunch. Wind your way back to the east coast through Dargaville, then enjoy a coastal detour to Leigh and stay the night near Warkworth or Matakana. It’s perfect wine country cruising.
We’ll take the long way home and ride the coastal backroads past Langs Beach, Mangawhai and Waipu. Stop for a final lunch by the sea and return to your base for a farewell dinner.
One last night to unwind before your airport drop-off the next morning.
