Northern Explorer Adventure Rdie

Leave the everyday behind and join us at the top of the South Island for the fifth edition of the Honda True Adventure Series. With Nelson and Hanmer Springs as our bases, we’re heading out for three days of gravel roads, farmland, and forest sections. Expect more than 350km each day, with spectacular scenery and plenty of variety along the way.

From the CT125 Hunter Cub to the Africa Twin, all road-registered Honda adventure bikes are welcome. You don’t need the biggest bike to join the adventure, but you’ll need some adventure or off-road riding experience.

Get ready for full days on the bike, views worth stopping for and good company when the helmets come off. This is your chance to explore, enjoy your Honda and share a proper Kiwi adventure with fellow riders.
