A local, small group way to travel
Pure Discoveries is a small, family run Kiwi business offering a more personal style of guided travel. With a maximum of 16 travellers, tours feel relaxed and flexible, with time to enjoy each place along the way.
Journeys are designed to balance well known destinations with places that are a little less visited, using smaller coaches that can access areas larger groups often miss.
With a focus on service, handpicked accommodation and carefully planned routes, it’s a style of travel that suits those who want a more considered and comfortable experience.

How Pure Discoveries tours work
Pure Discoveries tours follow a planned route, while still allowing flexibility throughout the journey. Travel is by small, comfortable coach, making it easier to access quieter locations and adjust the pace where needed.
The overall pace is more relaxed, with regular stops and time to take in the surroundings. Each day is structured, but not rushed, creating a steady flow between travel, experiences and downtime.

Experiences that add more to the journey
Pure Discoveries includes a “Your Choice” approach on many tours, giving you the option to select between different activities along the way. This allows you to shape parts of the journey to suit your interests, whether that’s choosing a scenic experience, a more active option or something more relaxed. It’s a simple way to add flexibility within a guided itinerary, without needing to plan everything yourself.

These tours are designed to feel unhurried, with a pace that allows you to take in the experience without feeling rushed. Days include frequent stops and time to enjoy each destination, rather than moving quickly between highlights. This makes the journey itself feel more comfortable, especially for those who prefer a slower, more considered way of travelling.
