History

Pacific Tourways was established in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1965 as a small, family-owned limousine and minibus transportation operation. It is here that we began building a base of friendly, professional, and safe transportation options across the South Island.

From there, our passion for New Zealand led us to quickly transition into the group tour market, with the aim to share our love of the country with people from around the world. Since then, we have kept pace with the growth of the industry and expanded to the North Island, opening a branch in Auckland. 

Now, Pacific Tourways boasts a fleet of over 70 modern tour coaches and more than 100 staff across our two branches, making us the largest group-touring fleet in New Zealand. Despite our growth, we remain a family-owned business and work hard to keep our reputation for providing caring, personal service.
