In New Zealand we welcome manuhiri (guests) in the spirit of manaakitanga (respect, kindness and hospitality). Hear our call. Feel welcome.

We also present our visitors with a wero (challenge). This wero is a challenge and commitment to care for New Zealand. This wero is the Tiaki promise.

We encourage all visitors to pick up this wero. To follow the Tiaki Promise. To act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.

We challenge ourselves and you to:

• Care for land, sea, and nature, treading lightly and leaving no trace.
• Travel safely, showing care and consideration for all.
• Respect culture, traveling with an open heart and mind.

What is the Tiaki Promise?

The Tiaki Promise represents a heartfelt commitment to protecting our planet and securing a sustainable future. By upholding the Tiaki Promise, Track & Trail contributes to a responsible and enriching travel experience. It involves recognizing the importance of safeguarding New Zealand’s natural and cultural treasures. This promise is about connecting with the land and its people, and playing our role in preserving its beauty and purity for generations to come.
