We loved our one hour side car trip around Akaroa.
It was a surprise present for my husband. We both enjoyed it. A unique way to see Akaroa and enjoy a side car experience.
Trip can be tailor made to suit your interests and time available. We chose a one hour trip around the nearby hills. Great view of the...

Owner description:
The only Honda Goldwing & Sidecar Tours in New Zealand. This truly unique classic motorcycle experience is based in Akaroa, Canterbury’s only seaside resort. From a 30 minute overview of the town with photos stops to full day excursions to Canterbury it’s the perfect way to appreciate the magnificent beauty of the extinct volcanic crater of Akaroa Harbour. Take it easy with a fully registered driver who is licensed to thrill.

When we walked off the pier at Akaroa we found Richard and his...

We found ourselves in Akaroa with an hour to kill before our organised tour began. My 11 year son and I took a half hour ride on the Goldwing. It was a great way to explore this piece of paradise and Richard was generous with both his time and his local insights.

My husband and I stepped off the tender (we were passengers on the Radiance of the Seas) with just a "plan" to wander around the town for a while and see what happens. My husband spotted Richard with his Honda Goldwing and the sidecar, not far from the wharf. We thought the fees were quite reasonable (you have choices of...
