You've flown seventeen hours to get here.
From now on you don't drive, you don't navigate, and you don't plan.
Where I would take you
One guide
I'm Dale. I guide every journey myself.
No roster, no subcontractor, and no different face on day four. I'll meet you at the airport and I'll be the one who drops you back. In between we go where the day is best, not where the schedule says.
About a hundred and eighty touring days a year, all of them mine. That is the whole business, and it is the reason it stays small.
Meet DaleFour journeys and two days.
Every one has been driven, eaten and slept through more times than I would admit. Take one as it stands, or use it as the starting point and we will move things around.
5 days, Northland, pace 2
The Winterless North
Five days north, ending in the Waipoua Forest under Tāne Mahuta.
3 days, Coromandel, pace 3
Coast & Kauri
Three days of beaches, bush, and a gorge nobody tells you about.
7 days, North Island, pace 1
Vines, Volcanoes & Verse
Seven days for people who would rather eat and look than climb.
10 days, Both islands, pace 3
The Long Way South
The whole country end to end, at the pace the weather allows.
One day, Auckland and Northland, pace 2
A Day North
Out of the city by nine, takahē at Tāwharanui by noon, a long vineyard lunch, back for dinner.
One day, Auckland and Waiheke, pace 1
Waiheke, Properly
Four vineyards, one beach, and no ferry timetable to watch.
Design your journey
Or tell me what you love, and I'll build the days around it.
Nothing here is fixed. Pick the things that make a good day for you, tell me how you like to move, and I will come back with a route that makes sense and a price that doesn't change later.
- 1You tell me about the trip
- 2We talk properly, on your clock
- 3You get a day-by-day plan
- 4Your dates come off the calendar
Pick as many as you like. This is the part that shapes the route.
Tell me about the trip
Four questions, and none of them go to a call centre.
I read every enquiry myself and come back within one business day, from New Zealand.
