Tasting Tours & Charters
A Great Way to Savour the Bay!

Unfortunately, owing to the world-wide pandemic & resultant government requirements, we have ceased providing tours for the forseeable future. We look forward to seeing you all again & resuming normal service once the present situation improves.

Take in award-winning wineries & local sights.
Come on a delectable tasting tour, a Sunday Lunch or a mid-week tour.

Experience the thermal wonders of Rotorua and the subterranean spectacle of the Waitomo Caves.

Or plan your own customised tour to anywhere in NZ, for tourism, social, cultural or sporting activities.

We go anywhere, any time!

Waitomo

Discover an underground labyrinth of ancient limestone caverns and formations.

Expert guides will give you interesting and informative details on the historic and geological aspects of the caves. In the Glow-worm Grotto, you will see Arachnocampa Luminosa, which is unique to New Zealand.

Celebration

Let us supply transport & arrange venues for your family celebration, your Hens' Party, your business Social Club outing.

It's always enjoyable to celebrate together as a group in a relaxed & convivial atmosphere. We can ensure that your outing is tailored to your specific requirements, relating to venue, time & budget.

Rotorua

Experience indigenous culture with a Maori Welcome and concert, crafts

With its thermal springs, boiling mud pools, steaming fissures and geysers, Rotorua, nestled among crater lakes of crystalline colour and clarity is a 'must see'!

Winery Tours

NZ wines are stunning, and it's well-worth travelling to experience & savour them.

There's something really special about visiting the terroir where grapes are grown & hearing the passion in the wine-maker's voice as he explains the special characteristics of his wines.
