Accessible New Zealand Adventures

New Zealand’s Premier Accessible Holiday Provider

Accessible Adventures, Tailored to Your Travel Style

At Ability Adventures, we believe in giving you the freedom to explore New Zealand your way — with just the right amount of support. Whether you want a fully guided experience, a partially guided introduction, or the freedom of a self-drive tour, we’ll build a holiday that fits your needs, interests, and travel style.

Every holiday includes customised planning, accessible accommodation, activity bookings, and specialist support services such as mobility equipment hire, personal care assistance, or sensory access like sighted guiding and sign language interpreters.

Partially Guided Tours

A great option for travellers who want a little help getting started.

Begin your trip with a friendly local guide who will introduce you to Aotearoa New Zealand, then continue the rest of your adventure independently.
We take care of your entire itinerary and bookings — even the parts you’ll explore on your own.

This is a great blend of support and independence.
