Off-the-Beaten-Path
For you, what makes a trip unique is above all the magic of the unexpected and the surprises that arise along the way. You like to think outside the box, to be where everyone else is not, and you trust the experts because they have the key to these unexplored worlds: Great Barrier Island – a small island feeling like a wild and condensed North Island –; Taranaki and its many walks, often ignored by tourists; Golden Bay and its end-of-the-world atmosphere; Maniototo for a trip back in time… these are just a few examples among many others. Whatever your preferences, we will make sure you live a truly unique experience.
