Introducing SALT – Sports & Leisure Travel
We are a specialised travel provider that combines the strengths of a Destination Management Company with those of an Inbound Tour Operator—focusing on Northland, New Zealand. We curate journeys that go beyond standard itineraries and bring a full-service local experience:
· Destination Management Capability We map out seamless experiences across Northland—from cultural landmarks like the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Puketi and Waipoua Forest to region-specific logistics support (e.g., airport transfers, accommodations, guiding). Through local knowledge, we handle everything: transport, permits, itineraries, hospitality, and supplier management.
· Inbound Tour Operator Flexibility We design and oversee tours for visitors. This includes immersive activities such as:
o Cultural experiences with Māori guides and storytelling.
o Nature-focused excursions: snorkelling, forest walks, kayaking and sailing.
o Custom, private touring options for families, groups, or educational programs.
o Specialist offerings: cycling product, corporate team building, archaeological coastline tours.
o Golf itineraries including local courses.
· Deep Focus on Northland We concentrate on the sub-tropical northern region and tap into its unique highlights—Bay of Islands, Ninety Mile Beach, Cape Reinga, Poor Knights, Whangārei—alongside lesser-known authentic gems. Our local grounding means we craft meaningful and layered experiences.
