Spring is here, and with it a fresh lineup of product to get your clients excited for the season ahead. This month, we’re heading across New Zealand with Queenstown’s original 4WD and quad bike adventure specialists, plus RealNZ’s premium new way to experience Milford Sound and adrenaline-charged Queenstown rafting trips.
Then, a little closer to home, we’re showcasing the newly Michelin-recognised El Questro Homestead in the Kimberley, alongside Tassie Tours’ full range of small-group day and multi-day adventures across Tasmania.

1. Nomad Safaris – Queenstown, New Zealand
Nomad Safaris is Queenstown’s original and best 4WD tour operator, running quad bike adventures, off-road 4WD trips, Lord of the Rings tours and guided walks across the region’s most spectacular backcountry. Trips head into iconic locations including Skippers Canyon, the historic gold-mining township of Macetown, and Glenorchy and Paradise — the real-life backdrop to Middle-earth — with tours running year-round, seven days a week.
With options ranging from half-day 4WD adventures to full-day Lord of the Rings tours, private charters and group packages for 120+ people, Nomad Safaris gives agents a flexible, high-quality adventure product to build into almost any Queenstown itinerary.
Why recommend Nomad Safaris to your clients:
Nomad Safaris’ reputation as Queenstown’s #1 transport tour provider is backed by a huge volume of five-star reviews and a Qualmark Gold rating, making it an easy, trusted recommendation. The range of experiences — quad biking, 4WD backcountry adventures, Lord of the Rings storytelling, and the guided Routeburn Track walk — means there’s something to suit adrenaline seekers, film fans, and clients simply wanting to see Queenstown’s high country up close. With spring bringing longer days and improving alpine conditions, now is a great time to start flagging Nomad Safaris for clients booking their Queenstown adventures.
What’s new/exciting:

2. RealNZ – Queenstown & Fiordland, New Zealand
RealNZ operates some of New Zealand’s most iconic tours and cruises, and this month we’re spotlighting two very different but equally compelling experiences in its Queenstown and Fiordland lineup: the brand-new Milford Sound Business Class experience, and RealNZ’s long-running Shotover and Kawarau River whitewater rafting trips.
Milford Sound Business Class, delivered in partnership with Altitude Tours, is a first-of-its-kind premium day trip to Piopiotahi Milford Sound. Guests travel in glass-roof Mercedes Sprinters capped at 15 people, enjoy a two-hour hosted cruise aboard the boutique MV Sinbad, and are treated to a chef-curated five-course tasting menu paired with Cloudy Bay sparkling wine — with the option to return by scenic flight or helicopter.
Meanwhile, RealNZ’s Shotover and Kawarau River rafting trips remain two of Queenstown’s most thrilling adventure activities, ranging from the grade 3–5 rapids and famous Oxenbridge Tunnel on the Shotover, to the more accessible grade 2–3 Kawarau River with its optional cliff-jumping and the 400m Dog Leg rapid.
Why recommend RealNZ to your clients:
Milford Sound Business Class opens up a genuinely new tier of the Milford Sound market for agents — a fully hosted, small-group, all-inclusive experience for clients who want the destination’s beauty without compromising on comfort or service. It’s an easy upsell alongside RealNZ’s standard cruises for clients celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting the very best of Fiordland. On the adventure side, the Shotover and Kawarau rafting trips are a proven, high-adrenaline product for thrill-seeking clients, with RealNZ’s rafting season running November to March — making now the ideal time to start locking in bookings ahead of the summer rush.
What’s new/exciting:
- Milford Sound Business Class launches as RealNZ’s premium new Milford Sound offering, with daily departures from Queenstown and Te Anau.
- Guests can upgrade their return journey with a scenic fixed-wing flight or helicopter (with an optional alpine landing and glass of bubbles) for an unforgettable finish to the day.

3. El Questro Homestead – The Kimberley, Western Australia
El Questro is one of Australia’s last true frontiers — a 700,000-acre wilderness park in Western Australia’s East Kimberley, home to deep gorges, thermal springs, cascading waterfalls and ancient ranges. At the heart of the property sits El Questro Homestead, a luxury wilderness lodge offering personalised, all-inclusive experiences for guests seeking pure exclusivity amid one of the country’s most remote and spectacular landscapes.
We’re especially excited to share that El Questro Homestead has been awarded a Michelin Key in the Michelin Guide’s 2026 selection, following an anonymous independent inspection. This places the Homestead among an exclusive group of just 54 hotels across Australia to receive this prestigious accolade — and it’s the only property in the Kimberley, and one of only three in Western Australia, to be recognised in this way.
Why recommend El Questro Homestead to your clients:
A Michelin Key is one of the strongest third-party endorsements a property can receive, and it gives agents a powerful, credible hook when selling El Questro Homestead to discerning clients. For guests seeking a genuine bucket-list wilderness experience — paired with a level of service now formally recognised on the world stage — the Homestead offers an exclusivity and sense of place that few other Australian properties can match. It’s an easy add for agents building Kimberley or Western Australia itineraries around clients who want luxury without compromising on remoteness and adventure.
What’s new/exciting:
- Michelin Key recognition in the 2026 Guide selection, awarded after an anonymous independent inspection — a testament to the team’s commitment to outstanding service and memorable guest experiences.
- Signature experiences include the Chamberlain Gorge Cruise and the Injiid Marlabu Calls Us cultural experience, hosted by the Ngarinyin Traditional Owners of El Questro Station.
- With The Homestead, The Station and Emma Gorge closing for the wet season and reopening in early April 2027, now is the time for agents to secure 2027 dates for clients wanting to experience this newly Michelin-recognised property.

4. Tassie Tours – Hobart, Tasmania
Tassie Tours is a family-owned and operated business offering day tours and multi-day adventures across Tasmania, from Hobart’s cultural highlights to the natural wonders of Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mountain, Port Arthur and beyond. Running in small groups of 10–20 travellers with experienced, knowledgeable local guides, Tassie Tours has built a strong reputation with more than 2,000 five-star reviews.
The tour range spans everything from a two-hour kunanyi/Mt Wellington shuttle to an 11-day exploration of Tasmania’s most iconic sights, with flexible bundled options letting agents build multi-day packages around Hobart, Port Arthur, Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay and Cradle Mountain.
Why recommend Tassie Tours to your clients:
Tassie Tours gives agents a one-stop shop for Tasmania touring, with small-group day tours, bundled multi-day packages and fully private options to suit every kind of client and budget. The breadth of destinations covered — coastal, wilderness, culinary and historic — makes it easy to build a complete Tasmanian itinerary around a handful of Tassie Tours products, and the strong review volume and family-owned service ethos make it a confident recommendation. It’s also a great option for cruise clients, with flexible day tours from Hobart perfectly suited to shore excursions.
