 Indigenous Trails has a proven track record of providing quality and affordable Cruise Ship day excursions of distinction in multiple Port locations around Aotearoa, New Zealand for small tour groups. We proudly introduce to our 'Visitors' - 'Manuhiri Tuarangi' a 'brief snap-shot' of genuine 'Manaakitanga - Hospitality' for the short time they are in Port, whilst understanding the importance of creating a more 'intimate' and 'personalised' environment.
Indigenous Trails gives visitors the oppurtunity to experience attractions and activities that are 'off-the-beaten-track' and away from the 'hoards' of Tourists on more conventional Crusie Ship itineraries. By constructing its own programmes and excursion schedules, this flexibility allows Indigenous Trails to provide exposure to other Indigenous operatives outside of mainstream tourism, thus providing satisfied enjoyment to its clientele through Cultural 'understanding', 'participation' and 'interaction', hence creating a 'meaningful' and more 'purposeful' excursion of distinction. |
