Riding to the End of New Zealand… and We Couldn’t Believe What We Saw

The Road Ends Here in Bluff, New Zealand RTW S6 EP13 In this episode of our round-the-world motorcycle journey we ride to Bluff, the southernmost town in New Zealand, where the road quite literally runs out at the edge of the South Island. The ride takes us along the wild southern coastline of Southland, stopping at quiet places like Cozy Cove and Howells Point, where the ocean delivered something we never expected. Standing above the sea we spotted Hector’s dolphins, one of the rarest dolphins in the world and found only in the coastal waters of New Zealand. Reaching Bluff is one of those moments on a long journey where the map simply runs out of road. Standing beside the famous Bluff signpost pointing to cities around the world, it feels like a true turning point on our adventure. For anyone planning a New Zealand South Island road trip, campervan journey, or motorcycle tour, this remote corner of the country is well worth the ride. We left the UK with everything we own strapped to one motorcycle to ride around the world, travelling two-up on our BMW R1300 GSA and documenting the roads, landscapes, and unexpected moments along the way. Our route has already taken us through Europe, Central Asia, China, Southeast Asia, and now New Zealand, but standing here at the southern edge of the country raises a simple question. When the road ends, where do we go next? 🛒 Our Travel Shop: Explore our travel-tested gear & stickers: https://seanandemilytravels.com/shop 🗺️ Navigation App – calimoto: Get a 30-day free trial ➤ Use code: S&E30 Get 10% off yearly plans ➤ Use code: S&E10 Start here: https://linktr.ee/calimoto_SeanandEmily 🛟 Travel Safety – Protected by Global Rescue: Worldwide emergency rescue, evacuation, and medical support for overlanders: https://www.globalrescue.com/lp/sean-... 🚀 What’s Coming: We’re riding around the world on our BMW R1300 GSA — a 2-year global expedition across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
