To us, tourism is more than travel. We see tourism as an opportunity to integrate and immerse tourists in a new and unforgettable reality. The travel experience we seek is not just unique; it's exclusive, including our cultures, ideologies, and customs. We strive to deliver profound experiences you will treasure for the rest of your life. Your journey with us stands out because you are exposed to the essence of New Zealand culture—polite, informal, and informative.
We provide handpicked accommodations and work with selected local operators. Over the years, we have developed excellent relationships with wonderful people around New Zealand - hosts and guides. Our clients benefit from this mindful and respectful approach and often comment on the respect shown to us by our local partners.
Many of our experiences are privately guided by our network of guides, who are handpicked for their qualifications and expertise. They are known for their wit, wisdom, unflappability, and ability to make diverse groups of people feel comfortable, welcomed, and engaged. With backgrounds in history, ecology, and cultural studies, our guides are well-equipped to provide in-depth insights into the places you visit.
At our core, we value our guests. We don't just want you to feel heard and understood; we want you to feel valued and special. That's why we engage with all our guests, getting to know your preferences, prerogatives, and personality. This allows us to craft a fully personalized and bespoke tour, ensuring your trip is not just a once-in-a-lifetime experience but a journey explicitly tailored for you.
Sustainability is integral to us. We ensure that our business operations align with our sustainable commitments. We endeavour to make our business carbon-neutral by 2030. Since 2018, several sustainable initiatives have been launched, including waste reduction programs, energy-efficient practices, and support for local conservation projects. These initiatives ensure we do our part for a sustainable future.
We deeply respect the uniqueness of Aotearoa's indigenous Māori heritage. As the only place in the world blessed with this culture, we are not just committed but dedicated to highlighting it respectfully and not exploitatively. By integrating Māori ethics and values, we promote long-term sustainable outcomes, allowing the Taonga to flourish rather than degenerate at the hands of tourism. We bring discerning guests to New Zealand. Thanks to our commitment to sustainable practices, our guests leave a minimal footprint. From using eco-friendly transportation to supporting local businesses, we strive to minimize our environmental impact.
Our visitors almost always suggest our company to friends and family, so they, too, have the pleasure of experiencing the same as they did. Many have returned over the years!
