Our aim is to make lifelong memories while on tour.
We also work alongside, other local operators, to provide unique, tour opportunities that are not only scenic but, cultural and educational for those visiting our region of the West Coast. This includes highlighting the untamed natural wilderness with informative history and stories of 18th century Maori and European settlement in the 1860s to the present day.
Where we visit
We visit rivers, lakes, native rainforests, mountains, gorges that connect with the original Greenstone trails of the Maori people. This being amongst the most stunning scenery New Zealand has to offer.

Eco friendly & Responsibly green

This is my home - I was lucky enough to raise a family here on the West Coast. We always encouraged our children and now our grandchildren to appreciate our beautiful surroundings and to know how lucky we are to live in such a unique and special part of the world. To leave only our footprints when we explore our scenic wonderland and to respect and care for the environment always. Here's to the next generation may you be as lucky as us!
'From the mountains to the sea, I am the river, the river is me'.
