Hi! I just wanted to share the experience I had with Circle NZ last November: it was awesome! I'm really glad I chose to rent one of Clive's bikes. It was almost new, perfect to cruise around the nice NZ roads and it was super reliable even under tough conditions. But most importantly, the service offered by Clive was top notch; he really gets out of his way to make sure you're gonna enjoy your trip. It was a pleasure to get recommendations from someone who not only knows the best NZ routes but is also a fellow motorcycle enthusiast, passionate about his work.

Thanks Clive, for helping make our trip such a success. The V-Stroms were the perfect bike for exploring the South Island and ran flawlessly. The info on the Circle NZ site as well as your route suggestions helped us plan a great week. Planning for the next adventure already to catch all the roads we missed.

Clive answered several emails with a wealth of local motorcycle knowledge, gave us tips on places to stay and routes to take, personally picked us up from the airport (on Christmas Day!), and provided truly “over the top” hospitality in his own home. The two DL650 motorcycles were provided fully outfitted for sport-touring and we were sent on our way with the request to bring them back dirty and used and to have as much fun as possible. Upon return of two very filthy bikes, some minor scuffs added along the way were ignored and instead the tires were “fun inspected” to ensure no chicken-strips remained. The whole experience could not have been more pleasant!

"Great experience with CircleNZ!
We rented three bikes for 10 days and had a fantastic time! All of the bikes were in mint condition and well serviced. They were perfectly equipped with top of the range soft and hard panniers, wind screens and almost new tyres for a hassle-free ride. I totally had a blast on the Suzuki VStrom during the whole trip. Clive collected us form the airport and gave us very useful tips about places to visit, roads, events and general information, responding patiently to all of our questions! Totally recommended!"

My experience with CircleNZ and Clive were everything I could’ve asked for and more. Excellent customer service and flexibility, Clive even brought me to and from the airport both ways. Even after I had a mishap on the first day of my week long ride, Clive rode out more than an hour into the country to help me get back on the road again. I cannot recommend highly enough Circle NZ, I’ll be back!

Towards the later half of 2017, my son had the bright idea of renting a motorbike and riding round the South Island during the short break he was getting from work over Christmas. He also thought his old man could perhaps join him. So, of course, that is exactly what we have just done. Such a great experience was shared as we toured on and off the beaten track. Due, in a very large part, to the seamless, easy communication with Clive in getting the bikes organised and the paperwork handled. Then the delight of finding two immaculately turned out machines kitted out with panniers, waterproof bags, maps etc. waiting for us on our arrival. The team at Circle NZ really knows the highways and byways of their country and are more than delighted to add their experience and love of the sport in guidance while you map out your own custom made adventure in a country just designed for touring. Actually more suited to bikes than cars and vans, we reckon.
Again, I cannot thank Clive personally and the team at Circle NZ enough for their help in providing one of the best holidays ever.
Altogether: an excellent choice when deciding on the details of your next bike tour in a very beautiful New Zealand. Enjoy and Happy Trails.
