100% recommend! I’ve always wanted to explore Northland but never knew where to start so I was extremely lucky to have come across Jason and this amazing trip! Great itinerary, accommodation and delicious food.

Don’t think about it, JUST DO IT ! The guides Jason & Isaac were so humble, knowledgeable and accommodating. 100% recommend the tour, can’t wait for the South Island Tour ! Let’s goooo
Fantastic experience and worth every cent. Jason has very in depth knowledge on all the spots and will take you to a number of different locations you probably wouldn’t normally go to. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone considering it!
Amazing experience! I was hesitant at first and nervous to go on my own but I don’t regret it for a second. I’ve met some awesome people and created unforgettable memories. Would definitely do this again in a heartbeat!

One of our tour leaders @thetravellingmill taking a moment to reflect and be present at the Cape ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Te Rerenga Wairua is highly significant for Māori. Legends say as Māori pass, their wairua (spirits) sweep down the roots of the pohutukawa and into the water where the Tasman sea and Pacific Ocean meet. The spirits then return to their ancestral homeland of Hawaiki. The Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean represent the masculine and feminine energy pushing against each other to keep balance and combine as one 💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cape Reinga is one our favourite places to visit as the energy up there is unlike any other😇🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you experienced this beautiful place before?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The weather today represents exactly how the whole of New Zealand feels about being back in red light😟🌧👎
Like most people and most businesses, the tourism industry has taken MANY hits over the past couple of years. For a new business especially, it has been, and still is a VERY wild ride😅
Although we were hoping for the borders to be open by now and for travellers to be coming into NZ, its important that we stay hopeful and focus on all the amazing things that we can still achieve during this weird time🙏💫
With that being said…we are extremely thankful and excited to announce that WE CAN still operate during the red light system!! This means that ALL of our Far North Escapes and Abel Tasman Getaways will still go ahead as planned!🤩🥳
So…if you are looking for something to make your red light A LOT more enjoyable, surely check out our website for more information on our tours and availability!🤞🤗
Sending love and goooood vibes to everyone!! WE GOT THIS 💙🙌

Our most recent crew exploring the Te Waikoropupū Springs 🤩🤞
As some of the clearest water in the world these springs are extremely tapu, and therefore not allowed to be swam in💫
It is very hard to not want to touch this beautiful water 😅 but it is still incredible admiring New Zealands largest freshwater springs from above 😍🙏
