ABOUT

Ahipara Travel is an award winning New Zealand luxury tourism company which prides itself on putting together the most varied and exciting itineraries and experiences. We have satisfied grandparents, parents, young couples, teenagers, children, VIPs and corporates. We have put together New Zealand vacation packages focused on sightseeing, on adrenaline, on discovery, on sport, on food and wine, on hunting and fishing, on helicopter touring, and so on. A key aspect of our operation is that we incorporate fundamental Maori values. Values based on honesty, openness, and a recognition of our responsibility to the planet, to this country, and to its tangata whenua (original inhabitants), to our partners, to our staff, and of course to our clients. Our clients benefit from this mindful and respectful approach and often comment on the respect shown to us by our suppliers. It of course goes both ways :)
