ice pack and handy plastic carry bin.
• Perfect for clients from Australia, US, Canada, UK &
Continental Europe. Emerging markets include China,

• Benefits for Travel Trade: excellent alternative to
campervans which can be challenging to book in peak
season and very difficult for some customers to drive;
an environmentally friendly option.
• Benefits for clients: safe, relaxed ‘back-to-nature’
experience away from the campervan convoys.
• Camping in New Zealand: Camping in NZ is very safe
– we have no snakes, no dangerous wild animals, no
malaria, no killer bees or poisonous insects. Tent sites
are often located in more beautiful and more remote
locations than motorhome sites – therefore camping
provides a more natural experience which so many
visitors to NZ seek. Driving a car is easier and more
comfortable than driving a campervan. Car camping
is a more sustainable way to travel New Zealand
– lower fuel consumption, less impact on natural
resources, hireage is a sustainable concept (most
camp gear purchased by tourists in NZ ends up in
the land fill; we reuse and recycle everything we can).
• Camping gear is supplied by Adventure Capital.
