Your guide behind the stories

Kia ora (G’day/Hi)

We believe travel should leave you with more than photos — it should leave you with a spark. That's why we started Gulf Tours: to create journeys that inspire, not just impress.

With 20+ years' experience taking people around New Zealand, I've lived a life full of adventure — from pulling on the black jersey and playing rugby for New Zealand, to racing Thundercat boats, walking the length of Aotearoa while raising funds for the Brainwave Trust, completing the one-day Coast to Coast multisport event and travelling the world.

Now, as a proud (and slightly older) dad of two young children, I see life through a lens of care, humour and connection.

It's all part of the “secret sauce” I bring to Gulf Tours. On tour, those experiences become stories I share — not as bragging rights (I've got plenty of not-so-great stories too!), but as a way of bringing the places we visit to life.

What drives me most these days, though, is connecting with people, hearing your stories, and continually looking to improve as a person.

So when you join one of our small-group tours, you won't just see a small part of New Zealand — you'll feel it, connect with it, and hopefully take away a little inspiration to add to your own story.
