Discover the real New Zealand

Boomerang Tours is offering travellers a chance to experience a small group tour with its new local operator MoaTrek. The operator is not only a new addition to this year’s line-up, but also available exclusively from Boomerang. David Boign, vice-president of Boomerang Tours, explained that each MoaTrek group has a maximum of 18 guests. Small and personal groups offer opportunities to meet the locals — farmers, winemakers, gardeners and chefs. There are special occasion lunches and dinners in wonderful locations with warm hosts and fine wine and food included in the tour cost. As well, there are also a range of outdoor and cultural activities included in the tour cost, such as cruising and swimming with dolphins in the Bay of Islands, visiting a glow worm cave, experiencing a Maori hangi and cultural evening, cruising across a Rotorua lake to dip in hot pools, albatross watching and a glacier lake trip at Aoraki/Mt Cook. MoaTrek guests also experience the best vistas of Milford Sound, driving the scenic road to Milford,cruising on the Sound and returning by plane over the Southern Alps to Queenstown.
