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.

Check out some of our favorite New Zealand eco tours below.

New Zealand Eco Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 60 customer reviews
Really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“New Zealand is AWESOME! clean, pristine lots of H2O and lushly beautiful landscape. I'm glad to be with Si group, with his vast knowledge and experience about NZ. He is a mans man and will say things as is, at times funny, he is attentive, well do the extra mile to make sure everyone is OK and safe, and having a great time. Aside from my sunburnt face? I really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation.”
Absolutely recommendable despite extra expenditures
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“Overall the trip was amazing and with Vaughan we also had a great guide From a fitness level it is absolutely for beginners or intermediate level as only 1 walk was above 12 km The only criticism we're the many motels where no real breakfast is available so you need to calculate for extra expenditures as this will not be sufficient given you will be travelling the whole day Also in the hotels don't expect to much of variety re breakfast And you one note re the itinerary- maybe having the last night in Christchurch rather than akaroa might make sense”
A must-visit
5 - Excellent
  • Wolf
“Never been at that side of the world before, but it blew my mind. What an experience, what a nature, and what a wonder tour. Thank you so much to our guide who made everything as smooth as silk. Our group was great, and new friends have been made. This trip can be summarized in one german word: Wunderbar.”
