This Road Was Closed… But We Rode It Anyway

Skippers Canyon | Motorcycle Touring New Zealand | BMW R1300 GSA | RTW S6 EP25 Riding New Zealand’s most dangerous road, Skippers Canyon Road, as part of our round-the-world motorcycle tour on our BMW Motorrad R1300 GSA. In this episode, we take on one of the best and most challenging roads in New Zealand, a narrow gravel canyon track carved high above the Shotover River, with sheer drops, tight corners, and no room for error. As we continue riding around the world on one motorcycle two-up, this is real motorcycle travel at its most demanding, pushing both us and the bike on terrain that’s as beautiful as it is unforgiving. Skippers Canyon is often called New Zealand’s most dangerous road and one of the most iconic adventure riding routes in the world, and it quickly shows us why. If you’re searching for motorcycle touring in New Zealand, world motorcycle travel, the best roads in New Zealand, or what it’s like riding a BMW R1300 GS Adventure off-road, this is exactly that.
