Overview
The “Go South” tour sees you depart from Auckland and head to the East Cape for some truly awesome rides and a step back in time. Then zig-zag to Lake Taupo, travel the desert road and famous Forgotten World Highway, and down to Wellington. You’ll take the ferry across Cook Strait and start the southern leg of this journey. You’ll see 5 different countries all rolled into one here: curvy hill rides, ancient forests crowding the road, glaciers, mountains, lakes, wild seas, vineyards, superb mountain passes—the list goes on and on and on… great food and great people.
