The Explorer story.
The
compass and Explorer logo were designed and drawn by myself in 2001,
it reflects what is important to me. By the age of 19, with my first
car, I had travelled most of New Zealand's back roads including
many of our mountain regions and National Parks. I definitely had
the travel bug, This led on to extensive overseas travel and work
abroad, from hitchhiking across Europe and working on a Ski resort
in Switzerland, and the adventures continue.
The Explorer compass represents ambitious travel and adventures
to new and interesting places. This interest extends through to
our customers when we are designing our own tailor made tour packages,
we also actively encourage the use of our coaches for school camp
transport.
The Explorer brand is about going to rarely visited places, trying
new things, eating great locally produced food and sharing New Zealand's
splendour with like minded people at leisure and in comfort. Our
office staff and drivers selected to work in our team all share
this vision & all have a passion for travel.
