We Rode To The End Of New Zealand… And Found This

The Catlins Coastal Ride | RTW S6 EP16 In this episode of our round-the-world motorcycle journey we ride to Slope Point, the southernmost point of New Zealand’s South Island. Hidden away in the rugged Catlins region, this windswept corner of the country faces directly into the Southern Ocean, where powerful winds have shaped the landscape and even bent the trees permanently inland. A quiet country road leads to a short walk across farmland before reaching the famous Slope Point signpost, which marks the distance to the South Pole and the Equator. Standing here on the cliffs at the bottom of New Zealand really does feel like reaching the edge of the map. The ride through The Catlins is one of the most underrated journeys in New Zealand’s South Island. Remote coastal roads, dramatic cliffs, and huge open landscapes make this part of the country perfect for a New Zealand road trip or a motorcycle adventure exploring the southern coast. We arrive here riding two-up on our BMW R1300 GSA as part of our round-the-world motorcycle journey, travelling across New Zealand’s South Island and discovering some of the most beautiful and lesser-known places in the country. From winding coastal roads to the wild southern edge of the island, this ride shows why motorcycle touring in New Zealand is considered some of the best riding anywhere in the world. 🛒 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.
