Message from Tourism NZ

Organic Explorer has carved out a name for itself as a comprehensive resource for travellers seeking eco-friendly experiences in New Zealand. Through its website and travel guides, it has provided travellers with an abundance of information about everything from organic cafe's and eco-lodges to nature tourism and Maori cultural experiences.

But Organic Explorer’s efforts have gone further than just informing travellers about the variety of eco-friendly experiences available in New Zealand. It has also helped raise international awareness of New Zealand as a visitor destination.

Eco-tourism experiences feature on many international visitors’ holiday plans and that will only increase Organic Explorer’s relevance to visitors and local eco-tourism businesses.

I hope to see more of OEs in other countries in the future!"

East Coast/Hawkes Bay

Empty Beaches of Golden Sand and a Rugged Hinterland ...

The East Coast of the North Island was one of the last places to be colonised and settled by Europeans and as a consequence retains much of its pre-European culture and language. It is a wild and beautiful place, with long, empty beaches of golden sand and a rugged hinterland, denuded now of its original bush by generations of sheep farming.
