Nomad Motorcycle Rental & Adventure Tours
Professional motorcycle rental and guided adventure touring from Napier — explore New Zealand's most spectacular roads on two wheels with expert local guides.
The Ultimate Kiwi Road Trip on Two Wheels
Nomad Motorcycle Rental & Adventure Tours offers riders the chance to experience New Zealand the way it was meant to be seen — from the saddle of a well-maintained motorcycle, with the wind at your back and some of the world's most dramatic landscapes unfolding ahead. Based in Napier, Nomad combines the freedom of self-guided motorcycle rental with the expertise and local knowledge of professionally guided adventure tours through Hawke's Bay, the East Cape, Wairarapa, and beyond.
What They Offer
Motorcycle Rental
Nomad maintains a fleet of quality touring and adventure motorcycles suited to New Zealand's diverse road conditions. Whether you're planning a weekend blast through the Hawke's Bay wine country or a multi-week tour of both islands, Nomad can set you up with the right bike, gear, and route planning to make it happen. Rental includes helmets, luggage systems, and comprehensive insurance options.
Guided Adventure Tours
For riders who want the full package, Nomad's guided tours take the guesswork out of planning while keeping all the thrill of the ride. Expert local guides lead small groups through carefully curated routes that showcase New Zealand's best riding roads — from the sweeping coastal highways of the East Cape to the tight mountain passes of the Ruahine and Tararua ranges. Tours typically include accommodation, meals, and support vehicle backup.
Custom & Private Tours
Nomad also arranges bespoke itineraries for individuals, couples, and private groups. Whether you want a wine-country day ride, a multi-day adventure circuit, or a tailored experience built around a specific region or event, the team works with you to design a ride that fits your skill level, interests, and schedule.
Why Riders Choose Nomad
What sets Nomad apart is the combination of local expertise, quality equipment, and genuine passion for riding. The team knows every back road, every scenic lookout, and every hidden cafe between Napier and the Cape — knowledge that only comes from years of riding these routes. Bikes are meticulously maintained, safety is taken seriously, and the pace is always set to match the group. Nomad isn't a mass-market operation — it's a boutique experience run by riders, for riders.
Based in Napier
Napier is an ideal launching point for motorcycle touring. The city sits at the crossroads of some of New Zealand's finest riding roads: north to the East Cape and Opotiki, south through the Wairarapa to Wellington, west into the ranges and Taihape, and inland to Taupo and the volcanic plateau. Add in the region's famously dry climate, vineyard-lined backroads, and Art Deco charm, and you've got the perfect base for a riding holiday.
