We love food here in Aotearoa New Zealand 😋 New Zealand's diverse and multicultural culinary scene means your clients are well-catered for, no matter their dietary needs. Cafes and restaurants across the motu (country) offer gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with menus often highlighting tailored dishes. For self-catering, ethnic grocers, specialty food stores and weekend farmers’ markets are widely available. #experttip suggest a foodie tour with Matakana Tours from Auckland to explore boutique wineries, gourmet producers and an oyster farm tour. Big Foody Tours are another great option with tours in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.

Are your clients' keen hikers, interested in exploring national parks? Or perhaps they want to relax on beautiful beaches and encounter unique wildlife? 🥾🐬 If the answer is “yes” to any of these activities, recommend they walk the Abel Tasman Coast Track in Nelson Tasman, a year-round multi-day adventure that captures New Zealand’s pristine natural highlights in one spectacular trip. Book your clients on a three-to-five-day guided hiking or kayaking trip with Wilsons Abel Tasman – boutique beachfront accommodation and seasonal cuisine included in the rates. Friendly guides and hosts ensure your clients are cared for throughout their trip. Watch our latest video to learn more ▶️
