We Rode To The Edge Of New Zealand’s South Island 🇳🇿

South Island Motorcycle Touring | RTW S6 EP12 In this episode of our round-the-world motorcycle adventure, we continue our search for the best roads in New Zealand’s South Island. Riding our BMW R1300 GSA, we leave Cromwell and head deep into the southern landscapes of the South Island, passing through the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown before following one of the most scenic roads in New Zealand along the edge of Lake Wakatipu. This region is famous for some of the best driving and riding roads in New Zealand, making it a dream destination not just for motorcyclists but also for campervan travellers, vanlife explorers and road-trip lovers planning a South Island itinerary. The winding road between Queenstown and the southern coast offers endless mountain views, lake scenery and quiet stretches of road that make New Zealand one of the world’s great road trip destinations. Our journey continues south toward Tuatapere, often called the gateway to the famous Southern Scenic Route. This part of the South Island is perfect for anyone planning a New Zealand road trip, whether travelling by motorcycle, car, or camper van. From alpine lakes and historic towns to remote coastal roads, this ride shows exactly why so many travellers come to New Zealand in search of the ultimate driving and touring experience. We are Sean and Emily, currently riding around the world on a single BMW R1300 GSA. Our journey has already taken us through dozens of countries and tens of thousands of kilometres, and New Zealand has quickly become one of the most spectacular places we have ever ridden.
