LITTLE COMPANY, BIG IDEA

TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE BOX

In 1994, we had a big idea to start a little tour company in New Zealand. As our name implies, we wanted to be different—to treat visitors as friends and fellow Kiwis, travelling discreetly and immersing them in our New Zealand, in all its quirky, enchanting, scenic and often hidden glory.

Almost 30 years later, our company and our flock have grown–offering private, self drive, small group, and custom-designed tours all over New Zealand–but we are still just as passionate about sharing our home. Pour a cuppa, have a browse and when you’re ready, give us a call. We’d love to say kia ora and invite you over to our place.

PICK YOUR PASSION

All our tours immerse you in New Zealand’s spectacular scenery, but we know unforgettable moments are enjoyed in different ways. We’ve gathered our trips into common themes to help you select one that fits you best. Select a theme below and see where it might lead you.

Soft Adventure

You’re an active traveller who wants to sail, paddle, fly & float your way around New Zealand.

Walking + Hiking

You find walking in nature even better than a coffee hit (though they needn’t be mutually exclusive).

Family

You look forward to unplugging and reconnecting (and hearing the words Best. Vacation. Ever.).

Learn More

Wildlife

You love wild places and think you do a pretty decent David Attenborough impersonation.
