ABOUT DIRT BIKE TOURS NZ
DBTNZ started back in 1989 with a pioneering vision of Denis Columb, who had spent his life riding and racing around the South Island of NZ. Over the past 37 years, the entire family have worked within the business, running tours from Bluff to Blenheim, groups of 1 to groups of 20+, while juggling their numerous racing careers in all disciplines of off road motorsports. These days, the baton has been passed down to Denis' son, Scott Columb, who has expanded the business to include an array of offerings due to his unique position to guide, teach and coach in every discipline (Basic riding, MX, SX, Enduro, Trail) - having spent majority of his adult life racing at the highest level in many categories.
Dirt Bike Tours New Zealand continues to be the leading tour operator in the world for genuine life changing adventures.
"for us, it's always come back to the mountains and getting out there and doing it. in a world where everything needs a thousand likes to feel worthwhile, we take a different approach. we don't look for validation — we look for trails. staying out in it, riding and watching, is what keeps us sharp. real inspiration doesn't come from a screen."
