Travel New Zealand on the road less travelled
Getting to New Zealand is very easy, just call the Airlines. However New Zealand Scenic Tours travels to some remote places, which are not easily found on maps and not promoted for profit. If you want to explore the real heart of New Zealand come with us. We know where it is.
Immerse yourself in the amazing variety of New Zealand’s landscape, the fascinating wild life, the vital history and the unique light at the bottom of the world.
Most tours of New Zealand try to cover far too much territory. You hardly get to see, much less actually enjoy the unique and almost unspoiled beauty of most of New Zealand's scenic treasures. After travelling New Zealand far more extensively than most Kiwis for the past dozen years or so, we feel that an intimate, intensive approach offers a far more satisfying and lasting experience than running breathlessly from place to place. If you really want to see all of New Zealand, take a year's sabbatical. Short of that, let us take you to a few places and explore them in detail. I am certain you will feel almost overwhelmed after just 2 or 3 weeks.
Photography a Speciality
A major extra bonus is that one of your guides, daan dehn, is an internationally published photographer who will offer photography tips and instruction so that your holiday pictures really stand out.
