Eco Tours in New Zealand 2024/2025

From the beautiful Franz Josef Glacier to the stunning beaches and national parks of Abel Tasman, eco tours in New Zealand are gaining traction. New Zealand eco tours are designed for travelers looking to explore the country’s abundance of natural beauty all while leaving minimal impact behind, in part by offsetting the carbon impacts as part of the tour package. If you’re looking for a New Zealand eco-adventure tour, you might go white water rafting around Taupo, or surf on the Raglan coast with a local, giving back to the community and staying in a sustainable surf lodge. Whether you’re looking for New Zealand group tours or New Zealand guided tours, there are plenty of options for travelers looking to explore in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.

New Zealand Eco Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 51 customer reviews
Highly Recommended
5 - Excellent
  • Abilash Nair
“We have just come back from one of the best holidays we’ve had! After 3 years of no travel due to Covid, my family wanted to go out and explore great outdoors. What better country to do that than New Zealand! Booking our custom itinerary with Geoff was our best decision. To be honest there are many options when booking a tour in New Zealand, but these are mostly larger operators with no personal touch and purely business. This operator was the exception for us. We always prefer the personal touch and Geoff and his wife Libby definitely lived up to it! When they say they are the real deal Kiwi, they surely are. From our first contact, Geoff made us feel so comfortable and even provided his personal contact 24/7 if we needed anything. When you speak to Geoff, you can also feel his passion for New Zealand and for meeting new people. We went through several rounds of itinerary planning and Geoff was patient and ever accommodating, providing us with some great suggestions as well. It was a long itinerary almost 20 days covering North and South Islands. When we arrived in New Zealand, everything worked like clockwork. All the bookings were well organised, pickups, transfers, hotels and activities. It was a fuss free and stress free holiday for my family which culminated in Christchurch when we finally got to see Geoff and his wife Libby. We had a very personal tour of Christchurch and went off the beaten track to see the many natural marvels of New Zealand. All good things must eventually come to an end, and we left New Zealand with a heavy heart, having one of the best holidays ever. We arrived as strangers but left meeting so many nice people and made a good family friend in both Geoff and his wife Libby.”
For the true snow junkie
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This tour is one for the true snow junkie. The snow fields visited on this trip are smaller, off-the-beaten-path club fields. Although these fields have some of the best powder in all of New Zealand, most of them only provide nutcracker rope-tow access to the sites. Learning the technique to using nutcrackers and rope-tows was not easy or straightforward, but our guide Morgs was very patient and stayed with us until we could master the technique enough to make it up the mountain. Morgs was also very knowledgeable about each snow field and about New Zealand sites, history, and culture. All accommodation, transport, and some meals are provided on tour, so there is little to worry about while on tour besides perfecting the nutcracker technique. Overall, I would recommend this trip to any experienced skier or snowboarder who is in great physical shape and is willing to put in some work to discover some amazing powder.”
Fabulous!
