Te Wai Pounamu Tour
Dream up your perfect New Zealand adventure into the top of the beautifully wild South Island.
No two adventurers are the same, so why would all trips be the same? You choose your adventures and locations and we will craft a once in a life-time trip for you. Everything will be taken care of, up to the smallest detail. Bring your chek-lists boxes and your mustdos and tell us about what inspires and moves you so we can infuse it into your trip.
Traveling with Orca Nu is choosing peace of mind. Our experienced guides will bring you everywhere you need to be, have every unique stay ready for your arrival and provide you with the best local meals. They will arrange and come along with you in your chosen adventures, be it surfing in glacier-blue water embraced by snow-topped mountains, hiking wild mountain ranges over pristine lakes, or flying over whales and dolphins, they will be there to create a life-lasting memory you will always carry with you. Our trips are comfort and luxury. No buses, no crowds, no waiting lines. You will have your own chauffeur in a luxury car, take scenic trains and fly over the mountains on a helicopter. Transportation is not a must-do burden to get to the new place, but it becomes a joyful part of the travel experience.
We bring you only to the local and the authentic. No mass tourism. We show you a part of New Zealand that is under the radar. Raw nature, authentic locations, local cuisine, unique local experiences. That’s what OrcaNu is all about.
It is not a vacation if there is rushing. We do not rush your escape. We make sure you spend quality time in each location so you can fully immerse yourself in the area and get to experience everything the location has to offer.
We stay felxible during the trip. Weather is very changeable in the South Island and we plan accordingly. We may move activities around to ensure every activity is enjoyed at the best time.
Tell us what excites you. We will take care of the rest.
