Sustainability Policy

Our Promise — Tiaki ki Aotearoa

At Art Adventures NZ we embrace the Tiaki Promise: to care for Aotearoa New Zealand’s people, place and culture today and for future generations. Every guest and every guide is asked to travel safely, tread lightly and show respect for nature and community.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Kaitiakitanga – Guardianship

    We care for land, water and wildlife, leaving every site better than we found it.

  • Manaakitanga – Hospitality

    Guests are welcomed with warmth, inclusivity and deep cultural respect.

  • Toitū – Long-term Well-being

    All choices favour lasting environmental, cultural and economic health over short-term gain.

  • Ako – Shared Learning

    We listen, learn and share knowledge with guests and visitors

Why It Matters to Us

Queenstown’s alpine lakes, native beech forests and dramatic peaks are our outdoor studio, and looking after them isn’t optional—it’s the canvas we create on. Every walk, story and quiet moment we share comes with a promise to leave this place better than we found it.
