At Magellan we offer three ways to experience the world on two wheels. Whether you choose Guided, Self Guided or a Private/Custom trip, Magellan are here to make your trip one to remember.
We do things differently to most and one of the biggest examples of this is our FreeRide system. We produce hyper detailed tour packs for all of our riders with a glossy tour itinerary document that goes out in the post as well as in digital format. All of our routes are provided in Garmin, TomTom and Google map formats split into numerous daily waypoints with morning and afternoon coffee stops, lunch stops and various points of interest.
You don’t just get given a track or a list of hotels to aim for each night. Doing it this way means that on our Guided Tours people are free to have their own adventures on their own terms. Our riders usually break off into smaller groups of 2 or 3 choosing to ride with others that go at a similar pace. We don’t force you to ride in one big group so no one has to ride slower or faster than they want, our guides “lead from the back” and so are always there if people have a problem during the day. You can ride with others on trip, with one of our guides or on your own and chop and change each day depending on what you fancy.The level of detail we provide is unique in the industry with packs taking over 100 hours to produce for each rider, and we provide exactly the same service on our Self Guided Tours just with remote support from the office as opposed to from a guide on the ground.
Our experienced and passionate guides take you to see incredible places on fantastic roads. Ride your own bike or we can arrange bike hire. We sort the transport, hotels, stops, and navigation to save you the hassle.
Join a group of like minded people from all walks of life and make friends that last a lifetime.
Ride the finest roads, stay in great hotels and eat wonderful food with everything taken care of.
All trips are fully supported by a Magellan guide making your holiday totally hassle free whether you’re a new rider or a seasoned tourer.
We send out the most in depth tour pack in the business meaning you just have to add fuel and go.
Self Guided
Self Guided tours in destinations across the world…
Use our proven routes and tour packs to guide yourselves on a date which is convenient to you. For trips in far flung destinations we include bike hire, and for European tours we can arrange bike hire too, in addition to arranging all the transport, hotels, stops, and local knowledge. Plus we’re just a phone call away if needed.
Dates of the Guided tours don’t fit? Let us plan your trip on a date to suit you.
Hire bikes available on all tours with full insurance cover, luggage and more provided as standard.
Maybe it’s just you and a friend or your entire bike club, we plan trips for all group sizes.
You receive the same detailed tour pack and stay in the same hotels as the Guided tours, plus self guided tours are fully customisable.
PRIVATE & CUSTOM
Private & Custom tours made just for you and your needs…
If you’ve got an idea for a dream tour then Magellan can make it happen. Bespoke tours made just for you and your party. Either with a Magellan guide or as a self guided tour.
Since Magellan’s inception, we’ve been honing our own routes through some of the locations featured in each of these four brilliant series. Here, we’re offering you the chance to relive iconic moments on your own bike, write your own story into motorcycle lore, and hit the open road with a team who’ve been journeying on two wheels for decades.
After 10 years we’ve gone back to where our journey first began, we have remastered some of our inaugural trips to form the beginnings of the Classic Tour range. For those who crave the Magellan experience on a tighter schedule or budget our Magellan Classic Tour range focuses on the essentials of great motorcycle travel: expertly crafted routes, hand picked hotels, trained guides, and the freedom of our signature free-ride system.
We’ve partnered up with the organisers of the BMW Motorrad Int. GS Trophy to offer a range of BMW off-road training and tours in Southern Spain over the winter months. Staying in authentic, quality hotels with fantastic local cuisine there really is no better place to get a dose of adventure.
For too long, the end of summer has signalled a sombre ritual for motorcycle enthusiasts: covering our bikes and shelving our helmets, resigned to waiting out the winter months. Yet, somewhere out there, perfect riding conditions await—reachable by just a short ferry or flight. These havens not only promise an ideal riding climate but also immerse you in fascinating cultures, historic landmarks, and tantalising local cuisine.
Motorcycling for all
Whether you’re a rookie rider or a seasoned motorcycle adventurer Magellan caters for all. Solo riders, female riders and couples travelling as pillion all enjoy our friendly, approachable trips. Discover more reasons to choose Magellan.
