A Classic Ride Akaroa

A Classic Ride operates the only Honda Goldwing & Sidecar tour in New Zealand alongside a rental car and tours and a vintage wedding car.

The rental car is a Nissan Murano with leather seats, 4WD, automatic, sunroof and stability control. It can e hired with or without a driver.

We have a Model A 1928 Ford for weddings complete with driver in period suit right down to the silver fob watch!

From a half hour Akaroa township overview & photo stop to a full day tour the Honda Goldwing & driver are licensed to thrill. The immensity of the open sky with no roof over your head is breathtaking. The side car is extra wide. Two smaller people or one larger person can fit in the sidecar with another on the back of the bike.Ideal for photographers and sightseeing.
Whether you are staying at Matua Gardens Retreat or a visitor to Akaroa & Banks Peninsula this unique way of experiencing the breathtaking beauty of the extinct volcanic crater is available for short or long tours. Nowhere else in NZ can you sightsee like this.
If you are looking for a spectacular way to see Akaroa you can find Richard down at the taxi stand at the end of the Main Wharf near the Akaroa Village Inn on the days cruise ships are in. If he isn't there check the board for the time he'll be back or email sue@matuagardens.co.nz to pre-book to make sure you don't miss out.
