Wildsouth Discovery
Canterbury & South Island
Private Nature Tours

Wildsouth Discovery is a specialist New Zealand luxury tour company offering bespoke, exclusive tours and extraordinary service in South island. As well as having a number of “suggested” tour itineraries, tours can be tailored to guests’ wishes.  

Tours can start and finish anywhere in South Island to fit in with guests’ wishes and time frames.  All tours are guided and hosted by the owners, Paula and Brian (or another Wildsouth Discovery couple).  Maximum group size is six guests (ten for extended family or special interest groups). The vehicles are fully customised to get off the beaten path in full comfort.  Included in your safari style experience are morning and afternoon teas which are a delightful feature, away from the crowds and featuring Paula's homemade treats.

Unlike “limousine tours” and “transfer tours”, Wildsouth Discovery tours feature guided walks on Department of Conservation lands to explore the local ecology. Operating along the lines of the luxury African safaris, guests retire to top accommodations with superb dining at the end of the day.  

Find locations and trails that are less frequented, quiet, remote and beautiful. Your hosts are passionate about the unique nature and the diverse landscapes that Te Waipounamu - South Island has to offer, and want to share the genuine hospitality of real New Zealanders.

New Zealand is a very special place and to Wildsouth Discovery - “New Zealand is a pocket edition of the world”.

Wildsouth Discovery’s aim is simple…

• to give their guests a truly memorable visit to New Zealand, a visit that will be both relaxed and unique, and
• to present to their guests with the best possible experience of New Zealand that time will allow.

They do this by…

• designing their tours to encompass those things that make New Zealand truly unique - the ecology and natural history, the Maori mythology and history, the European history and of course, the incredible scenery,
• providing a highly personalized, interactive and spontaneous experience,
• sharing with their guests the genuine hospitality of real New Zealanders,
• priding themselves on their thoroughness, the personal touches and their attention to detail,
• being flexible with time and activities to allow for each individual's desires, and
• operating their tours as “luxury safaris”.
