An experience that will blow you away

5.00What an unforgettable experience! My Japanese colleague and I had the absolute pleasure of riding with Mark in his incredible V8 three-wheeler motorcycle around Paihia and the wider Bay of Islands, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set off, it was clear this was no ordinary tour. Mark’s machine is an absolute beast — powerful, smooth, and guaranteed to turn heads everywhere it goes. But what truly made the experience special was Mark himself. His passion, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for the region shone through from start to finish. As we cruised through the stunning coastal roads and scenic viewpoints of Paihia and the surrounding Bay of Islands, Mark provided an informative and engaging itinerary. He shared fascinating local history, hidden gems, and insights that you simply wouldn’t get on a standard tour. The combination of breathtaking scenery, the thrill of the ride, and Mark’s storytelling created a perfect balance of excitement and discovery. My colleague, visiting from Japan, was absolutely blown away — not just by the unique vehicle, but by the warm hospitality and the chance to experience this beautiful part of New Zealand in such a memorable way. If you’re looking for something truly different, exhilarating, and personal, this is an experience I would highly recommend. It’s not just a ride — it’s an adventure you won’t forget.

5.00I signed up for the adrenaline junkie tour but when we got there, the lady asked me if we thought we would do better with a scenic tour and boy am I glad we did. They go really really fast. It was amazingly fun but at some point, it was a little scary and I was glad I didn’t do the adrenaline junkie one. Such an amazing way to see the bay of islands. I would strongly recommend it for anybody, such beautiful areas, waterfalls, waterfront, trees, valleys, a definite must do and the drivers were amazing.
Fantastic trip…JUST DO IT!!

5.00This was such good fun. Being motorcyclists and missing our bikes as we toured NZ on a coach, we just had to try out this experience, it was thee best fun! A thrilling ride, an excellent tour professional guide and a marvelous machine. 60 mins of history, off the beaten track and stunning scenery. Thank you Mark for one of the hi lights of our 2 month tour 'down under'.
Fantastic sightseeing trip on 3 seater motorbike!

5.00What a great experience. Bay of Islands is a gorgeous place, our last of 5 stops in New Zealand. Cyril showed us an awesome time going to Hararu Falls, showing us the Russell wharf, and also the Waitangi treaty grounds. Picturesque place at high rates of speed. Highly recommend.

5.00We were off an Oceana cruise ship where we were bored out of our minds. (Needlepoint was a daily activity) This tour was just what we needed! Our driver was fun and informative. He was waiting in the designated area and off we “flew”. We had a blast. We even took his advice about a place to go for oysters. They were some of the best we have ever had. Highly recommend!
