RealNZ

About the activity provider

RealNZ is a group of tourism and ski businesses based in the south of the South Island of New Zealand, that share a common purpose to do ‘business for good’. Established in 1954, RealNZ continues to honour the legacy of founders Les and Olive Hutchins through the belief that tourism and conservation work hand in hand to sustain each other. Based on the premise that when people care about something they look after it, RealNZ invites visitors to fall in love with New Zealand, and in doing so protect it for generations to come. The real people, real places and real experiences that, together, form RealNZ, are helping enable important conservation programmes such as the Cooper Island Restoration Project, Walter Peak Land Restoration Project and Predator Free Rakiura. From the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch through to Stewart Island, RealNZ has experiences spanning: •remote untouched natural wilderness including Doubtful Sound, Milford Sound and Stewart Island •unique experiences like the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship that cruises Lake Wakatipu and the underground world of Te Anau Glowworm Caves •the thrilling Jet Boats and Rafts that navigate the Kawarau or Shotover Rivers •the high-altitude exhilaration of Cardrona Alpine Resort and Treble Cone RealNZ has curated the most memorable experiences of New Zealand into a group of businesses with a common purpose, to create enduring value through conservation, that is enabled by tourism - to do business for good.
