Named after the very first tour we designed, Fine Tours New Zealand was established in 2004. Our business was simple and the team of just two (David & Kerry Kettle) worked from their kitchen table in Kimbell, a small south Canterbury town of just 20 people. In a few years however the population had grown by 10% with the births of their 2 kids, Alex and Dan. Although many things have changed since then the most important reasons for the success of the business hasn't - and that's an uncompromising determination to deliver the best experience to our guests and to employ and work with great people.
We believe nothing is better than honest, old-fashioned person to person service from someone on the ground, right here in New Zealand who is passionate about the product they represent. Give us a call today to talk about your plans and let us show you what a true specialist can do. After all, when the experience matters, experience matters! We carefully select the people we work with to ensure they deliver a great experience at every interaction, from the very first email or phone call to the last farewell.
Since 2010 we have been based in Wanaka, on the South Island of New Zealand. Many Kiwis know Wanaka as their preferred ski or summer holiday destination. Nestled between the mountains, we are rewarded by wonderful views, plenty of outdoor sports and spectacular seasonal changes. Although most travellers from overseas haven't initially heard of Wanaka, they are always blown away by its beauty and we are only an hour away from the very popular Queenstown. You can read about our sales team below and reach out to any of them at any time for a tailor-made New Zealand or Australian holiday.

With a combined selling history of over 40 years our key agents and team of travel specialists know everything there is to know about New Zealand. They listen and understand what is important to you as an individual before taking the time to hand craft a journey just for you.
My favourite New Zealand Experience: Franz Josef Glacier Helihike, this is a brilliant way to see these spectacular and powerful natural formations.
For me, New Zealand is all about hidden gems and getting away from the crowd. So much that New Zealand has to offer is in its natural beauty - it has that by the bucket load. I have worked with the team here for many years and it won't take me long to make you the perfect itinerary.

My favourite New Zealand Experience: Milford Track Day Walk, it's great to get into the wilderness and work for that tasty New Zealand Chocolate treat.

My favourite New Zealand Experience: Gibbston Valley Winery, yum!
I am not originally from New Zealand but after travelling through 40 different countries this is definitely the place I want to be. I work with a great team at Fine Tours New Zealand and together we share experience and energy to make sure that you, our customers, can enjoy the very best on offer.

My favourite New Zealand Experience: Whale Watch Kaikoura, if you're unlucky and don't get to see a whale you may still spot some native dolphins or the very cute (looking) fur seals.
I love living in Wanaka, having spent many years in London the change of pace suits me just fine! I can't wait to help you design your perfect New Zealand adventure. I have many ideas to suit all travel styles and budgets and will promise to listen and customise your holiday to match your needs.
