Backyard Roadies

Our small group adventure tours are not only about experiencing the stunning natural beauty of New Zealand, but also about connecting with like-minded individuals, giving back to the community, and learning about the rich Māori culture and history of our country. Our purpose is about connection. Whether that’s connecting with friends – old and new, connecting with the fun and adventurous experiences, connecting with the land and its stories, or even just connecting with yourself, Backyard Roadies will guide you to discover New Zealand all over again. Backyard Roadies is the manifestation of one kiwi man, who after many years of travelling Southeast Asia, having conquered and survived backpacker life – both in work and play, and mastered the art of the ‘road trip’, has returned home to reimagine what it means to explore and experience New Zealand like never before. Travelling with Backyard Roadies means getting amongst an authentic, grass roots trip led by a team of passionate and enthusiastic guides. Jason and the Backyard Roadsters are dedicated to helping other small tourism businesses around the country. In the wake of COVID19 where larger corporates and multinational travel groups have pulled back, we’re diving in headfirst to rediscover and connect with New Zealand – all the people, places, and stories in our own Backyard.
