Shore Tours

Our specialty is “bespoke private tours”.

 

“Bespoke” tours give you the opportunity to take your time visiting the Nelson region.   The itinerary is yours to discuss with your Driver.   The time and vehicle are yours exclusively allowing you  to spend longer visiting a gallery, winery, craft brewery, having a lunch in a fabulous restaurant, or stopping for picnic platter lunch beside a river or on a beach.  We will arrange it.

 

 

Have a short time in Nelson then select one of our three Shore tours.

Option One

Tour through the Waimea and the Golden Downs forest (Pine and Douglas Fir) to the Nelson Lakes district. Take time for a short walk on the foreshore of Lake Rotoiti before heading to the second of these two beautiful lakes Lake Rotoroa.
