Highlights

- Make Travel Matter
- Hear from the founder about the work being done to address biodiversity needs in the Kaikōura region, by developing a wildlife hospital and conservation centre. Help protect native birds on Pomona Island through a community-based conservation project.
- Local Connection
- Enjoy an exclusive Be My Guest lunch at the Red Barn, a Waikato working dairy farm.
- World Class Nature

Customer Reviews
- Kathleen· March 3rd, 2025Optional activities should be scheduled in advance and not as the tour progresses. That way we can know whether or not we can get the activity. If not, it can be scheduled online. I had no access to these activities from Tour Radars website and didn’t know they existed. Luckily I scheduled on my own and got to see what I wanted. Others did not.Show more
- Lorne· February 25th, 2025Excellent, guide and driver were exceptional.Show more
