THE ULTIMATE EPIC MOTORCYCLING ESCAPE
# MalaysianGP
For motorcyclists, Aotearoa New Zealand remains one of the world’ s great undiscovered playgrounds. In a single journey you can move from city streets to alpine passes, trace the edge of glaciers, ride past rolling green farmland, weave through native forest, stop for lunch in the actual Shire, and finish the day on a golden beach with warm coastal water.
It’ s a rare combination: variety on a scale usually spread across a continent, delivered in a place that feels completely safe and self-contained. Set apart at the bottom of our planet, New Zealand offers all of the conveniences of a modern first-world country, and yet is quietly removed from the noise of the wider world. New Zealand gives you adventure without anxiety. That combination of contrasts and security is what makes it the perfect home for Wandrith Motorcycle Journeys— a company that treats motorcycling as more than transport. Wandrith’ s founders are riders themselves, and it shows in the details. The fleet is built entirely around late-model BMW GS machines, each one obsessively maintained and fitted with every practical extra: panniers with liners, heated seats, bar-risers, phone mount, tie-downs, even an emergency beacon. When you collect the keys, the bike feels as if it’ s been prepared for you personally. Accommodation follows the same philosophy. Expect boutique hotels, high-country lodges, and coastal retreats chosen for comfort and character rather than capacity. You finish the day with good food, good linen, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing everything simply works. The difference between a tour and a Wandrith Journey becomes clear within the first few miles. A tour tells you where to be and when to stop. A Wandrith Journey gives you the plan, the support, and then the freedom to make it your own. You ride your own pace, choose your own detours, and find your own moments. It feels personal because it is. Wandrith’ s approach to detail extends beyond the saddle. The company’ s Journey App provides navigation, route notes, and local recommendations, syncing seamlessly with phone and bike. It’ s practical rather than showy, a guide that fades into the background once you’ re moving. Sustainability is taken seriously too. Every kilometre ridden, every hotel stay is offset twice over, meaning each journey gives back more to the environment than it takes. In a destination where nature is the main attraction, that feels less like marketing and more like respect. The result is travel stripped of the noise that usually surrounds it. No convoys, no forced socialising. Just you, the machine, and a country that rewards curiosity. A Wandrith Journey is the kind of experience that reminds you why you started riding in the first place.
