Welcome to New Zealand at its Best


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.

Full Description

From the rippling waters of the Waimata River to the expansive Pacific Ocean, Walk Gisborne has it all and encompasses all that is best about the Gisborne region
 
Experience spectacular farm and expansive coastal scenery - beside rivers and streams, over open hill country reaching vantage points of up to 323m, through pockets of puriri-rich native bush, stands of kanuka and valleys of toitoi to the famed white sands of Makorori Beach. It passes historic kumara pits and ancient mud volcanoes and affords simply stunning views of this edge-of-the-earth paradise.
 
Located on the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island, Walk Gisborne begins just 15 minutes’ drive from Gisborne city and 20 minutes from the airport.
 
Each day’s walk on well marked trails takes between three and six hours depending on speed and fitness levels. Moderate fitness is advised.

Both sleep 12 with fresh crisp linen provided. Enhance your stay with delicious meals made from fresh local produce by one of Gisbornes’ leading chefs, delivered to the Lodges daily.
