About
Dirt Bike Tours New Zealand on Shotover Street is Queenstown's premier destination for adrenaline-fuelled off-road riding experiences. Whether you're a seasoned rider or picking up a bike for the first time, this outfit specialises in guided tours across some of the South Island's most dramatic terrain—think high-country valleys, backcountry trails, and ridgelines with views that'll take your breath away (if the riding hasn't already). Their 4.9-star rating from 77 Google reviews speaks volumes about the quality of instruction, well-maintained bikes, and genuinely unforgettable days out.
Expect a full-day or half-day adventure depending on your choice, with rides typically running 3–5 hours of active riding. The team caters to everyone from complete beginners to advanced riders, so don't worry if you've never thrown a leg over a dirt bike before—they'll get you comfortable quickly. Tours are small-group affairs, which means personalised attention and a genuine backcountry vibe rather than a conveyor-belt experience. You'll be fitted with proper protective gear (helmet, goggles, gloves) and given a thorough safety briefing. It suits solo adventurers, couples looking for something different, and groups wanting a proper shared memory. The physical demand is real, so reasonable fitness helps, but enthusiasm matters more.
This fits perfectly into an active Queenstown itinerary alongside bungy jumping, rafting, or jet-boating—it's the kind of adventure that defines a South Island trip. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) offer the best weather and trail conditions, though summer rides are possible if you don't mind heat and dust. Winter can be muddy or occasionally inaccessible depending on snow. Book ahead, especially during peak season; the operation fills up quickly because word-of-mouth is strong here.
