About
V8 Trike Tours NZ, based on Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, offers a genuinely thrilling way to experience the Bay of Plenty coastline. These aren't your typical tourist rides—the custom-built V8 trikes deliver genuine performance combined with the freedom of open-air touring, making them stand out among Bay of Plenty attractions. With a perfect 5.0-star rating from 45 verified Google reviews, this locally-run operation has earned serious credibility for delivering unforgettable experiences on some of New Zealand's most scenic coastal roads.
Expect an adrenaline-fuelled adventure that suits everyone from couples seeking something different to solo riders and small groups wanting a break from standard sightseeing. Tours typically last 1–2 hours, and you'll be guided through stunning coastal scenery with stops at key viewpoints. The atmosphere is relaxed but exhilarating—professional guides handle the V8 power while you soak in the Bay of Plenty landscape from a front-row seat. It's worth every dollar for the memory alone, and the 5-star reviews speak to consistent quality and genuine hospitality.
Mount Maunganui itself is the perfect base for this experience, sitting just minutes from Tauranga's CBD and well-positioned for exploring the wider Bay of Plenty. Pair V8 Trike Tours with a visit to Mount Maunganui Summit Walk or a swim at the iconic beach—they complement each other perfectly. The summer months (December–February) are ideal, though the Bay of Plenty's relatively mild winters mean tours run year-round.
