RealNZ
Our family business was founded in Fiordland in the 1950s by tourism and conservation pioneers Les and Olive Hutchins. Sixty years later, we offer tourism experiences from Rakiura Stewart Island to Whakatipu Queenstown; including world-renowned cruises through Piopiotahi Milford Sound and Patea Doubtful Sound, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves and heritage steamship TSS Earnslaw. For us, the aim is still quite simple – to share the natural heritage and astounding beauty of the region with visitors – just as our founders intended.
