My About Us page provides background information about me and my tour business. If you would like to keep up to date with additions to this site please visit my Kaimai New Zealand Tours Blog.

Hi... my name is Kea Lippiatt, I have lived in New Zealand for 27 years and I am the owner of Kaimai New Zealand Tours.

Walking in the New Zealand native bush is my passion and having done many of the famous walks around both the North and South Islands I decided to turn this passion into a way of life.

I am committed to providing professionally guided walks to hikers, individuals, groups and families in New Zealand, and to tourist visitors from across the world.

It is an ideal opportunity give other walkers the benefit of my skills and knowledge gained over the many years I have been tramping across NZ (Tramping is a New Zealander or Kiwi term for hiking or walking in the bush).

I provide categories of Kaimai New Zealand tours to suit a range of fitness levels and am keen to adapt any of the tour itineraries to be flexible and suit the needs of individuals and groups. So if you are looking for something specific, such as a half day family walk or a 10 day group hike, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Ensuring you get the most enjoyment possible walking in the Kaimais is at the top of my list whatever your requirements! So, enough about us... I look forward to meeting you.
