Your Tour, Your Way

Custom Private Tour

Full-day Private Tour

Create your perfect day — a fully private, tailor-made tour designed around your interests, timing, and pace.

Our custom tours are designed around you — your interests, your pace, and the places you’ve always wanted to see. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, craving wine country, or eager to experience one of New Zealand’s iconic natural wonders, we’ll help you make the most of your time in the upper North Island.

From geothermal valleys to ancient forests, from golden beaches to glowworm-lit caves — the options are as varied as the landscape itself. All custom tours are private and fully guided, with a flexible approach that allows for stops, detours, and spontaneous moments along the way.

Here are just a few guest favourites:

Waitomo Caves – glowworms, limestone formations, and underground rivers (8–10 hrs)
Coromandel Peninsula – Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove, and coastal gems (8–10 hrs)
Rotorua – geothermal wonders, bubbling mud pools, and spa retreats (12 hrs)
Matakana Coast – vineyards, sculpture parks, and farmers’ markets (4–8 hrs)
Hobbiton™ Movie Set – step into Middle-earth (subject to ticket availability, 8–10 hrs)

We’ll work with you to build the perfect itinerary — just let us know your must-sees, how long you’d like to be out (up to 12 hours), and if there’s anything you’d like us to arrange in advance.
