3 TSS EARNSLAW, LAKE WAKATIPU Testimonials Conservation Protect. Sustain. Grow. Today I am more convinced than ever before that conservation is the real cornerstone of New Zealand's tourism industry. LES HUTCHINS, FOUNDER OF REAL JOURNEYS, 1998 Wow. I was incredibly impressed with the level of service, attention to detail, coach drivers, crew on board the Milford Wanderer and just the way that nothing is an issue for your staff. Our group was so blown away by the whole experience that many said this was the best supplier trip they have ever been on and will have a lifetime of memories to take away. Steve O Connor Regional Business Manager L Oreal New Zealand Milford Sound Overnight Cruise Charter Real Journeys were very supportive of our event from start to finish which was only made possible by the goodwill of the company. All staff we dealt with from management to those on the ground were incredibly supportive and enthusiastic, a tribute to a large and successful company that maintains its core values derived from humble beginnings. Adam Fairmaid GodZone Event Organiser GodZone Adventure Race Milford Sound & Queenstown transport "You've been wonderful to deal with and we're over the moon on how the event went." "The day was flawless and this trip will be talked about by our guests long into the future." Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for such a fantastic night on Friday couldn t have gone better. You ve been wonderful to deal with and we re over the moon on how the event went. Kyla Davies VIP & Hospitality Manager Winter Games NZ TSS Earnslaw Wharf Side Event Real Journeys not only have incredible products, but they are also a pleasure to work with. I have had the opportunity to work with many of their products over the years and they have all been wonderful experiences. One in particular was to Stewart Island for a group of 90 guests. Stewart Island is a wonderland of natural scenery, native wildlife and scenic activities. Real Journeys supported many of our activities including a private boat transfer to the Island. The day was flawless and this trip will be talked about by our guests long into the future. Samantha Stirling South Island Operations Manager Orange Queenstown The rise of NZ s modern environmental movement can be traced back to one key event in the 1960s: the Save Manapouri Campaign. Real Journeys founders Les and Olive Hutchins were key figures in the fight against the Government s plans to raise the lake level. Their efforts didn t just protect Manapouri they inspired a nationwide change of attitude in how we protect and conserve the environment. We are dedicated to continuing their pioneering work. The Leslie Hutchins Conservation Foundation was established in 1994 with this aim in mind. Every year we contribute a percentage of our sales to ensure this vital charity can support a number of conservation initiatives everything from educational trips to native bird relocations. Real Journeys works closely with the Department of Conservation (DOC) on a range of projects. We assist with the protection of the Kakapo, Whio, Kiwi and various penguin species. Other projects we ve partnered with DOC include a significant land restoration at Walter Peak, rebuilding an iconic piece of early settler history in Dusky Sound and coastal clean-up programmes in Fiordland and Stewart Island. We are also committed to operating sustainably and minimising our footprint. From recycling initiatives to investing in leading edge technology we always aim to go above and beyond to protect our pristine environments. For everyone at Real Journeys, looking after and caring for our backyard isn t policy it s a way of life. By following in the footsteps of Les and Olive we both honour the past and protect the future. 3

11 TE ANAU Glowworm Caves Magical underground world of sculpted rock, rushing water and a glowworm grotto. Lying beneath the mountains on Lake Te Anau s western shores, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves are a subterranean network lit by thousands of glowworms. This underground world is astonishingly beautiful. By geological standards the caves are very young (12,000 years) and are still being carved out by the force of the river that flows through them. The result is twisting limestone passages filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall. Drift in silence below shimmering glowworms Deep inside the caves, beyond the noise of the water, thousands of glowworms inhabit a silent hidden grotto. They produce a glittering display that is truly extraordinary.
