Tiaki invites us all to form a deeper connection with Aotearoa, and to reflect this in our attitudes and behaviours. Swipe to learn how you can be a respectful visitor and support the Tiaki Promise while on your Pure Discoveries® tour 🌿

Why is Napier known to many as the Art Deco capital of the world? Following a massive earthquake in 1931, fires destroyed the heart of Napier. The city was rebuilt in fashionable 1930s styles and by the end of the decade Napier was the newest city on the globe!
It's the only place in the world to see such a variety of 1930s architecture - Stripped Classical, Spanish Mission, and above all Art Deco - and we can't wait to show you around!

Did you know all our tours are named after Aotearoa's native plants? 🌴 Our immersive three-week tour is named for the Kauri - one of the world’s mightiest trees! They are one of the longest-living tree species in the world, as well as the largest. Kauri are considered a taonga (treasure) by many New Zealanders, particularly Māori, who see the health of Kauri as reflecting the wellbeing of the ngahere (forest) and the people.

Russell, known as Kororāreka to the original Māori inhabitants, is a seaside town in Aotearoa New Zealand's spectacular Bay of Islands. Russell plays a key role in Aotearoa's history - from prosperous Māori settlements to the first Christian church. Skirmishes, trading and lawlessness have since given way to a relaxed kiwi lifestyle, cafes, and beautiful historical buildings.

Step into the heart of history at the site of Mt. Tarawera's 1886 eruption – a catastrophic event that buried Māori villages and obliterated the world-renowned 'Pink and White' silica terraces, once hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. 🌋
Today, the transformed landscape invites you to wander through a valley, passing boiling craters and jewel-colored lakes. Cruise across Lake Rotomahana to the site of the old silica terraces, hear the story of Guide Sophia and see new silica terraces slowly forming.

Waimangu Volcanic Valley is an Rotorua optional experience on some Pure Discoveries tours. Chat to our friendly team to find out which tour is right for you!

🗓️ Travel Tip: For an unforgettable Fox Glacier experience, consider planning your visit during late summer or winter! 🌞❄️ Winter boasts more reliable weather and frequent clear skies, and is the prime time for witnessing captivating ice sculptures.
