Tourleader New Zealand

About us E-mail

We want to serve travellers to New Zealand in three ways:

  1. With interesting and uncomplicated tours through our favourite region of New Zealand: Whangarei Tours Limited
  2. With ideal traveller accommodation and information in our Whangarei accommodation
  3. With reliable travel information on the web: www.tourleader.co.nz - New Zealand Tour & Travel Information

There’s no corporate ownership behind our scenes, we are real travellers who came to New Zealand because this is where we wanted to live and set up our little tourism business. We simply do what we love most, writing about travelling and what makes New Zealand so special. Also all the photos on the website were taken by us.

Wendy from England has always been a passionate traveller. After travelling extensively in South America for 10 months, New Zealand for a total of 14 months and Australia for 5 months, she went to work for a New Zealand company as an eco tour leader based in India for two years. She was her best guiding travellers through the public transport system (or on camels) and chaos of India. She came to live in Switzerland with Urbi where good paying jobs allowed us to save up for our dream.

Totally in love with New Zealand, now living in the land of her dreams, passionate for all details in plant, animal life, Maori culture and what is uniquely New Zealand, she is very proud to run her own tours and Bed & Breakfast in Whangarei.

Urbi is from Switzerland and spent over 2 years backpacking the hard way through 25 countries (meeting Wendy in Bolivia in 1995) and has travelled many others since. Now fascinated by Maori culture he loves to live in a part of Polynesia. He takes care of web design, documentation, presentations and research - with Swiss precision of course.
