The White Herons were magnificent on our recent tour at Whataroa thanks to Dion and Adel for showing us your special part of the West Coast. Hokitika at sunset was beautiful too, and fresh snow on the Southern Alps all made for a lovely time for everyone. New dates for 2025 are coming soon. Don't miss out.

Wishing a Happy Father's Day to all the outstanding people out there.

We have been operating tours for over 28 years. We have grown our business to include a lot of the best attractions and locations in the South Island.​

Being Kiwis we both grew up in Canterbury, Lee was a city girl and Geoff a farm boy Lee was working as a nurse and Geoff was working as an aircraft engineer in the Royal NZ Airforce when we met. We married in Christchurch in 1980 and moved to Marlborough for what we thought was a three month stint, however it turned into 38 years. We brought up our four fabulous children on an orchard in the Awatere Valley which later became a vineyard, we later sold the property to concentrate on the tour company in Blenheim.

“We love our business and love sharing our knowledge of the South Island with people”
