    Tailor-made Tours

    The Tailor-made guided tours are ideal if you are organising travel or an event for a small group of people. It’s simple: you tell us where you want to visit, the activities and attractions you would like to experience, and the number of people in your group and how long you have. We then tailor-make a tour that fits your budget and timeframes. Our mini buses cater for up to 10 people and we have access to larger capacity transport when required.

Rugged coastline and windswept cliffs harbour New Zealand Fur Seals, Hookers Sea Lion (among the world’s rarest), Blue Penguin (arguably the world’s cutest), the majestic Royal Albatross (world’s largest wingspan) and the Yellow-Eyed Penguin (the world’s rarest). Choose from one of two combination tours: The Albatross Colony & Argo Wildlife Combo or the new Sheep Shed & Argo Wildlife Combo.

Welcome to Awesome Tours
Southern Pride, Pure Adventure

Awesome Tours takes you to those special places that you’ve always wanted to visit.
Based in New Zealand’s stunning South Island, Awesome Tours introduces you to those out-of-the-way places the locals love and that large coach tours seldom reach.
You can choose one of the many small-group package tours or one of the daily scheduled tours. Even design your own tour, incorporating your list of “must see” places, within your budget and timeframes.
Either way, your driver/guide takes care of everything, so you can relax and make the most of your time in New Zealand.
