At our heart, we are adventurers. We explore rugged coastlines, remote wilderness, and iconic landscapes, always with a strong commitment to conservation and responsible travel.
Since 1997, we have earned the trust of our local community and thousands of visitors. As one of Dunedin's longest-standing Department of Conservation concessionaires and holders of a Marine Mammal Permit, we can guide you into some of New Zealand's most pristine and protected places from Dunedin and the Catlins to Stewart Island.
Our philosophy is simple: without conservation, there is no nature. That's why we actively contribute to biodiversity through hands-on projects while delivering exceptional tours that leave you inspired and connected to these special places.
We proudly welcome cruise ship guests with seamless service. With full port security clearance, we offer convenient pick-up and drop-off at Port Chalmers, plus our Worry-Free Guarantee: we'll have you back to your ship well before departure, or we'll fully refund you if your ship cannot dock.
We can't wait to take you Back to Nature.
