Log on to Air New Zealand's US website at www.airnewzealand.com (make sure you choose the US site in the drop down country selector) and on the home page you'll see specials showing from US$799 return.

With a friend I just chose flights that would connect with our November Best of The Best Tour (commencing Oct 30). Departure city was Seattle, and we chose Nelson as the NZ destination. A return fare of U$1012 including taxes was returned. I think you'll agree that's a bargain in anyone's terms.

Save big $$$$'s on your NZ vacation - The NZ$ takes a big dive against the US$

If you're touring New Zealand with us this year, or if you're thinking of touring New Zealand with us this year, pay attention! There's a silver lining to every cloud...

The ructions going on in the financial markets have caused the NZ$ to drop dramatically against the US$. In early October 2008, the NZ$ was worth US$0.67... (or to put it the other way around, US$1.00 bought NZ$1.49. Today, on Oct 8th, US$1.00 buys NZ$1.69. That's a change of 14% in the favour of the US$.

If you are thinking of booking a vacation in New Zealand, or you are booked to come and tour with us and have paid a deposit, it really would be worth considering paying the full amount now and taking advantage of the drop in the value of the NZ Dollar. By way of example, if you and your partner are booked on one of our 14 days Best of The Best Guided Tours, the saving is equivalent to the cost of a free return international flight from the US to NZ for one person.

Get that mouse clicking... :-)

Cheers for now. Safe riding..

Now you can tour New Zealand with GoTourNZ.com on BMW's new 800GS twin

For the upcoming 2008-09 touring season we've added BMW's new capable middleweight twins, the 800cc 2008 F650GS and F800GS models. The F800 has received great reviews by the motorcycling press, and we were impressed with them when we saw them at the 2008 BMWMOA Rally in Gillette, Wyoming. We were particularly impressed with the low seat height on the low frame F650GS model(remember this is still an 800cc model). Even if you have Duck's Disease like me (I'm only 5'6") you'll be able to get both feet down easily. Demand is strong for these new models so be quick and book if you want to tour on one. Get your skates on..

See you DownUnder...

A busy season ahead!!

As the new tour season in New Zealand shapes up, it looks like beiing a busy one, even if all the talk of high fuel prices is on everyones lips!-
Many of our tours already have heavy bookings and if you are thinking of coming, which is hard to do when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, then you need to get some plans in place soon-
Our "Special 10 day packages" are closing on July 31, so if you have your sights set on one of those fantastic priced tours, you only have a few days left, dont forget special conditions apply to those few tours....
We hope we will see some of you at the BMWMOA rally at Gillette in Wyoming in July - we will be there as usual and have two free tours to give away for anyone attending the seminars at the rally.
Please email me with any questions you have about our tour packages, I am always online

Which shall I choose - a Self-Guided or a Guided tour?

The 2008/2009 season is shaping up to be another very busy year for tourism in New Zealand - our Guided tour packages are proving to be very popular with many clients booking now for the coming season.

I regularly am answering questions from people planning to visit New Zealand about whether a Guided tour can offer them what they want, or if they should choose our Self-Guided option....or even just go for a straight rental.

Many people have a misconception about what a Guided tour really means or offers, and it often conjures up pictures in their minds of a coach tour with hoards of people, an over-bearing guide, and being herded around like sheep with people they may not really like...

We can understand this being a worry, and we would like to put any fears to rest. Our Guided tours are vastly different from the picture above. Through feedback from our clients we have created a Guided tour package that is light in structure, small groups ( around 10 people) and guided by us unobtrusively but attentively. In fact many of our clients tell us to stop referring to these packages as " Guided" as they feel this steers people away from what they experience as the holiday of a lifetime and richly rewarding. Te energy and friendships that are generated on these tours is incredible - and quite a surprise to people when they realise their tours is far more than just a motorcycle tour.

The Self-Guided package offers flexibility and many options, and for people who just want to go it alone, this is an excellent alternative. However, you must be a self-starter and able to follow our detailed guide booklet so your tour unfolds seamlessly...and be able to pack for your journey in the panniers the bike provides! ( some people are just not able to do this..)

If you haven't been to New Zealand before, and are considering a straight rental to save money and research the journey on the internet, be aware that the services we offer to stitch your itinerary together utilising our up-to-date knowledge and network of relationships, will ensure a hassle free holiday for you. You can "turn your brain off and concentrate on enjoying your vacation, without all the worries about timing, accommodation and missing things through 'just not knowing' . We recommend that you don't try this the first time you visit New Zealand. If you have doubts, ask yourself this: Could we come to your area of the world and find the best restaurants,cafes and lodging (and avoid the horror stories), the most interesting roads, views etc, by reading a guide book?

Come and enjoy beautiful New Zealand now! We will help you create the vacation of a lifetime.

Safe riding, and Best Regards,

John, Ian, and Ian Jnr
