Pioneer Expeditions, a leader in expedition travel to remote and extraordinary places across the globe, announced the launch of a new NZ branch opening November 2012.  The New Zealand division will offer adventurous Kiwis the very best travel experiences to some of the most remote corners of the world. All the recommended trips involve a significant element of physical adventure, challenge and getting off the beaten track, be it through trekking, kayaking, rafting or other activities. At the end of a challenging trip we often relax on beautiful beaches with luxury accommodation.

Originating in the UK in 2006, Pioneer Expeditions organises trips that will amaze it’s customers.   Clients can be the first to canoe a river from source to sea, climb a really remote mountain, trek an uncharted glacier, swim in a volcanic lake or traverse a tropical island.

The Pioneer team are constantly searching the globe looking for new destinations and adventures to bring you the best travel experiences.  Sarah Hill, Pioneer Expeditions NZ  said “We don't believe in repetitive sight-seeing tours, instead we organise scheduled trips for small groups and tailor-made itineraries to allow you to explore countries in an original and unique way.”  For 2013/14 expeditions to the following destinations will be offered: Indonesia, Philippines, Tanzania, Madagascar, Galapagos, Mozambique, Mongolia, Guatemala and Belize, among many others.  And if customers can't find what they’re looking for, Pioneer Expeditions NZ can create and organise bespoke expeditions for individuals, families, private groups or corporate teams.
