Here is a list of some of New Zealands' well known eco-friendly tours: Glacier Valley Eco Tours Offers superb guided interpretive tours to the terminal face of the Franz Josef and the Fox Glaciers.

Kings Dolphin Cruises & Eco Tours Experience New Zealand's sensational Bay of Islands with a range of trips from Kings Dolphin and Eco Tours. One may choose to enjoy a dolphin watching cruise to the Hole in the Rock, or perhaps opt to enjoy a day tour to New Zealand's most northern point, Cape Reinga to see the world renown Ninety Mile Beach. Swimming with dolphins is a must for nature lovers as is Crossings Hokianga- which offers a unique exploration of history and culture. Farewell Spit Eco Tours The geography is unique, the history is fascinating, but it is the birds that give Farewell Spit its world-wide fame. Tour times are determined by the tide, so departures vary drastically, one could be early enough to experience a seaside sunrise or late enough to enjoy a sunset upon the return. With Farewell Spit Eco Tours, one may experience the changing landscapes, seascapes and skies while journeying in our purpose built 4wd buses to a destination where nature is paramount and city life seems to be a million miles away. Tours include visits to the Wader feeding grounds on the intertidal plain, a historic Lighthouse, a Gannet Colony- found at the ends of the earth and Cape Farewell, the most Northern point on the South Island. Eco Wanaka Adventures Ltd. This tour includes a Lake Cruise and Mou Waho Nature Walk. It features a 35 minute boat cruise past a shag nesting site to view many species of duck, towards the middle of Lake Wanaka where one finds magical Mou Waho Island. From the lake the tour takes a bush walk to the serene Arethusa Pool where birdlife abounds due to no introduced predators. Grey Warbler, Fantail, Falcon, bellbird, Wood Pigeon, and the rare Buff Weka are just some of the species one is likely to see. At the top, one views a panorama of snow capped Southern Alps and pristine alpine vistas over both lakes amd Arethusa Pool. As part of the experience one may plant a native tree to help in reforestation of the island. In addition, morning or afternoon tea is provided. Whale Watching Kaikoura, on the east coast of the South Island, is the main whale watching center in New Zealand. It’s one of the only places in the world where one can easily see sperm whales all year round. Orca (killer whales) may be seen from December to March, and humpback whales in June and July. Several dolphin species are seen nearly daily in the area. Due to Kaikoura's unusual submarine landscape, whales thrive here. In addition, a warm current from the north meets a colder one from the south, causing nutrients from deep within the ocean to be carried upward, a phenomenon that helps to support a vast range of marine life from plankton and krill to dolphins and whales.
