About us
Hi! We’re Kathryn and Nigel, the proud owners of V8 Trike Tours NZ, and we’re all about making your time in the Bay of Plenty unforgettable!
In 2015, we packed up our lives in the UK, brought along our two awesome kids (Stephanie, who's now awesome teacher, and Daniel, a top-notch RNZAF pilot), and jumped into a brand-new adventure here in New Zealand. We traded in our big coach business for something a little more… revved up — three incredible V8 Chevrolet Trikes!
And let’s just say, we’re totally hooked! V8 Trike Tours has quickly become a must-do for tourists and locals alike, and there’s nothing better than hearing, “Wow, that was the highlight of my holiday” or “That’s the best thing we’ve ever done!”
With over 35 years of experience in the tourism industry, we know how to do things right. We're a Gold Qualmark accredited business, and we live by the motto "personal service, professional pride." We pass that vibe on to our awesome team, so everyone gets an unforgettable experience. Plus, we love seeing our guests leave with big smiles and even bigger stories to tell!
We’re also super proud of our annual TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Awards — a huge 'shout-out' to our amazing team for making it all happen, thank you!
