ABOUT US
"A mind that is stretched by a New Experience can never go back to its old Dimension"
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Who We Are
At ExperienceKart, we believe travel should be more than ticking off sights. It should feel personal, meaningful, and effortlessly memorable.
We’re a New Zealand-owned and operated family business, based in Auckland and driven by a genuine love for our land, our people, and the stories that shape them. Our passion lies in creating travel experiences that go deeper, where every journey is privately guided, thoughtfully curated, and tailored to those who want to connect with New Zealand in a more authentic way.
Travel is better when it’s more personally rewarding, a chance to discover the world and yourself through new experiences. It’s the journey that makes it special. Whether you're walking through ancient forests, standing in awe at geothermal wonders, or discovering the cultural richness of Aotearoa, we’re here to make sure your experience feels seamless, special, and entirely yours. Because we believe the best journeys aren’t just well-planned, they’re well-felt.
Where you go matters, but how you get there makes all the difference!

Our Approach
The Heart Behind ExperienceKart
At ExperienceKart, we believe travel is one of the most powerful ways to connect with people, places, and yourself.
We started this journey to offer something more than just sightseeing. We wanted to create space for real experiences, the kind that move you, slow you down, and help you feel something deeper.
Every journey we offer is rooted in that purpose: to show you New Zealand not just through places, but through perspective. To give you the freedom to explore, while knowing you’re being looked after every step of the way.
That’s what drives us, ensuring every journey feels personal, never packaged.
What Makes ExperienceKart Unique
We focus on premium private travel that’s flexible, relaxed, and rich with stories.
Our small, passionate team knows New Zealand deeply, and we’re proud to show you more than just the highlights, we share the heart of each place we visit.
With trusted credentials, personalised service, and a grounded approach, we make sure every guest feels looked after, not just booked in.
This isn’t about offering more. It’s about offering better.
Our Team
At ExperienceKart, your journey begins the moment you reach out and from that point on, our team is here to ensure your experience is smooth, enriching, and unforgettable.
We’re a small, passionate group driven by a love for New Zealand and a genuine desire to share it with others. Our guides are carefully hand-picked not only for their knowledge and professionalism, but for their warmth, storytelling, and sense of care.
Guided by the spirit of manaakitanga, the Māori value of hospitality, kindness, and respect. We believe looking after our guests is more than service; it’s responsibility.
Whether it’s your driver-guide sharing a personal story, or a local host welcoming you into their world.
You’re in the hands of people who care, and that makes all the difference.
