What makes Education Tours New Zealand different?

​

Our humble beginnings have provided Education Tours NZ and the wider Tohu Experiences group with a unique approach to business and providing unforgettable experiences. That approach focuses on three elements to ensure the best outcome for everyone; The People, The Environment and The Experience.

The People - Tohu Experiences is a Māori owned and operated company and with that comes a responsibility to uphold the beliefs and traditions. There is a commonly used saying in Māori known throughout the various tribes; "He aha mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata". What is the most important thing in the world? The people, the people, the people. This ideology is what both motivates our crew and ensures that everyone who travels with us receives a genuine, heartfelt and fun experience that will remembered for a lifetime.

The Environment - Kaitiakitanga - Guardianship of the land is the role we play and given the fragile nature of our environment, it is our belief that we impart our knowledge of Aotearoa, New Zealand, to all that travel with us. This includes instilling an idea of ownership of our whenua (land) and that its protection is the responsibility of all. We are proud to be awarded the Gold standard for Quality Assurance.

​

The Experience - Tohu Experiences has a unique offering that is largely inaccessible to overseas visitors. With over three decades of operating and relationships that extend nation wide, we have the ability to provide itineraries that are seamless and take you further off the beaten track. From staying on our guides own family marae (traditional Māori village) to taking on a myriad of adventures, many of which we provide in house.

 

We challenge you to find any other operator who can combine both the adventure and cultural elements like Tohu Experiences can. We are also one of the few educational tour providers who is Qualmarked, Adventure Activity Regulations Audited and Registered, Transport Service Licence Approved, a New Zealand Māori Tourism Member and a Tourism Industry Aotearoa Member.
