Itinerary

Tour requirements & important information

Licence required

Full license

Experience needed

These roads are challenging and technical and this motorcycle tour is not for the faint hearted, novice, nervous, infrequent or inexperienced rider or if you are scared of heights. Please also note, while this is not a particularly 'fast-paced' ride, we do need to make progress and often keeping up with the speed limits of the road. Riding in a group can be a challenge - all staying together. We are not able to stop at every junction to wait for slow riders to catch up. It is unfair for other riders, breaks up the momentum of the ride and spoils the fun for everyone. Therefore, if you are a super slow rider, this may not be ride for you. Please think hard before booking this tour.
