Drive With Pride
New Zealand is one of the world's most welcoming destinations for LGBTQIA+ travellers. Explore it freely, safely, and on your own terms, with a team that genuinely gets it.
Welcome. You're in good hands.
New Zealand isn't a "wing it" destination.
(Okay, it can be. But you'll regret it by day three.)
We build NZ trips that actually work for you. Campervan with zero agenda? Done. Self-drive packed with all the iconic stops? Also done. Guided tour where your only job is deciding where to eat? Absolutely done.
Solo, couples, groups. We've can help everyone.
Drive With Pride is our dedicated LGBTQIA+ travel offering, and it was built with real care.

We're not just allies, we're family. Emma and Rachel are both business partners and life partners, so this isn't a marketing campaign. It's personal. When you travel with us, you're supporting a queer-owned business that genuinely gets it.
-
We’ve hand-picked a network of people we truly believe in. These are businesses that prioritise real inclusion and genuine hospitality, putting in the work behind the scenes to make sure you're looked after.

Kiwis are known for being welcoming, but we don't just leave it to chance. We look for the places and people that go the extra mile for our travelers, helping you find the corners of the country where you can feel right at home.
-
Every trip is built around you by a real person. We’re also lucky enough to have Sally in our corner; as the former owner of Winter Pride (formerly Gay Ski Week QT), she knows this country’s inclusive side better than anyone.
