In Aotearoa New Zealand, Tiaki means to care for people and places. The Tiaki promise is a commitment to care for New Zealand for now and for future generations and by joining the Wild Kiwi family you are a part of what Tiaki means.
From the outset, our mission has been to nurture both our communities and the environment, aligning with and advocating for The Tiaki Promise.
We are committed to continuous improvements in environmental, economic & social sustainability and want to make sure we all travel more responsibly.
While on your Wild Kiwi adventure, we ask that you make a commitment to New Zealand by following the Tiaki promise. To act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.
There are some outstanding places to stay in Auckland if you are planning a couple of days exploring before or after your tour.
We recommend the Sudima Auckland City Hotel in the CBD as an affordable option. Other options include the QT Auckland, Rydges Auckland or Ramada Suites By Wyndham.
As you travel around New Zealand there will be heaps to see and do. You will also have the choice of a variety of optional activities. Don’t feel limited to these options, just chat with your Guide and they will be happy to make recommendations and get you booked into any activity you are interested in!
All activities are optional. What's wonderful about this is that it puts you in the driver's seat to craft your own adventure. You get to choose which activities you'd like to include in your tour, or perhaps opt for some free time to explore the area at your own pace, like embarking on a scenic hike.
As part of making the tour zero-stress, your guide will handle the bookings of all of your activities for you whilst on the road, so all you have to do is decide what to tick off your bucket list first.
We hold allocations on the most popular activities to ensure that you don’t miss out on anything whilst on tour or to pre-book your activities.
If you have any further questions about your tour, please email [email protected] or book in a call with one of our team. If you or anyone you are travelling with has any particular health needs or allergies let us know.
