A stunning 12 day tour in Northern Thailand where you can rent a Tiger 660 or 850 Sport to ride the stunning roads through lush green forests that twist and turn at every opportunity. Ride the famous Road of 1864 Bends and up the highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Inthanon, 2,565 meters. Then let’s explore the Golden Triangle made infamous by Khun Sa, once one of the world’s most infamous drug kings! Here, you’ve time to visit the Opium Museum or take a boat trip across the Mekong River to visit the markets in Laos. There’s also plenty of the ancient ruins and ornate temples that pepper our journey, including the UNESCO listed Sukhothai.
The beauty of Africa is seemingly never-ending. You’ll ride to the Equator, traverse the width of Africa from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and reach the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas - with all its frustrations “This is Africa!”, natural wonders, wildlife and tribes. Amidst the emptiness of the Skeleton Coast, the thunder of Victoria Falls, the roar from the National Parks, the scent of Zanzibar spices or playing football on the shores of Lake Malawi, African roads will be as unpredictable, inspiring and challenging as African life itself.
You can fly into Malaga and collect a Triumph Tiger rental motorcycle. Alternatively, you can ride your own bike down to Malaga and meet us at the group hotel there. The following day we take the ferry to Tangier for our incredible Moroccan route! We take you to the Sahara, high into the Atlas Mountains, with the famous Todra & Dades Gorges and the Tizi n’Test and Tizi n’Tichka Passes, along the magnificent Atlantic Coast, and as far south as the walled Berber town of Taroudant. We also visit the vibrant, colourful medieval cities of Marrakech, Meknes and the ancient Ait Ben Haddou, backdrop for many a Hollywood movie!
From the dynamic heart of Bogota, Colombia to the remote high altitude salt flats in the Andes, from the white washed adobe churches to crossing the Equator, this is quintessential South America. You can climb the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, take a reed boat out on Lake Titicaca and visit the vineyards of Mendoza. Watch out for guanaco or rhea on the gravel roads of Patagonia and reach the very end of the road in Tierra del Fuego. And don’t forget to spend the evenings tasting incredible wines and eating the best steaks in the world!
Iceland is an otherworldly place of fire and ice, marooned near the top of the globe, where the mighty forces of nature have created a volatile playground, perfect for a unique adventure riding experience.

This Iceland Motorcycle Tour features a mix of paved and unpaved roads.
This Patagonia Motorcycle Tour takes you to a remote, but incredibly beautiful part of the world, at the most southern tip of South America.

This is the perfect terrain for riding your Tiger 900 Rally rental bike!
Our routes zig-zag through the incredible national parks of Torres del Paine, Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego. Look out for penguins and puma! Our ultimate destination the “End of the Road” in Bahia Lapataia – the most southern place on the planet reachable by road. Patagonia is one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet, so getting away from it all and having the ride of your life is easy!
This ultimate motorcycle tour of North America, shows you some of the best riding, without touching Interstates and the big cities. Starting from Anchorage Alaska, we ride north on the infamous Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay, before turning south to Canada, the Yukon Territory and British Columbia.

This tour also includes two game drives to spot rhino, cheetah, water buffalo, warthog and giraffe. One is in Addo Elephant Park and the other at an exclusive private reserve at Mount Camdeboo.
