There is a reason Readers Tours attract ‘Adventurous Seniors’.

Our itineraries are bold and colourful, so are our tour guides.
We drive scenic roads and coastal highway and have luxury accommodation waiting after a big day. We offer excursions such as Helicopter rides and guided walks and have everything organised down to the last meal, with free newspapers for a spot of reading or challenging sudoku.

We are passionate about bringing like-minded individuals together to explore this beautiful landscape we call our backyard and are ready to go full steam ahead with our next tour the moment it is safe to do so.

For now, we will continue to bring you stunning photography, travel stories and helpful tips during these unprecedented times.

Our team remains dedicated to helping you, so please pick up the phone or fill out our contact form and we will be in touch. We look forward to you joining us and experiencing New Zealand like never before.

Election and the Virus

Grant from Raureka

Is it time to consider cancelling this year's election (do we want hundreds of people getting together in one place such as voting places, touching the same pens etc) - should the Government consider forming an all party coalition to run the country until the crisis is over and then go into … View moreIs it time to consider cancelling this year's election (do we want hundreds of people getting together in one place such as voting places, touching the same pens etc) - should the Government consider forming an all party coalition to run the country until the crisis is over and then go into election mode?? Personally I can't see the point of an election when it;s likely to spread the virus through a huge amount of contact between people - I also believe that all parties could have some good input into how to handle the situation with the virus and the economy - put aside party politics for a time and have a combined government (small G) with consensus decisions. Back to petty bickering after a vaccine is found!

Offers of help during Covid 19

Chris from Akina

If you have read the current notices you will see that people about the country are placing offers of help for those in a self containment situation or in a situation because of the consequences of this pandemic.

Many are non vetted. Some may not be or do what they claim. This is cruel.

If you have read the current notices you will see that people about the country are placing offers of help for those in a self containment situation or in a situation because of the consequences of this pandemic.
BEWARE.
Many are non vetted. Some may not be or do what they claim. This is cruel.

I suggest that the genuine ones will have good feedback from community posted here. If unsure seek more suitable connections, ask questions or phone others.

If there is anyone co-ordinating assistance in your area, review the posts or call them to discuss.

Take care everyone.
