New Zealand’s leading coach touring company Grand Pacific Tours will join Australia’s largest experiential tourism group in September.

“This marks an exciting next phase of growth for us, further expanding our offerings of immersive, authentic and unique tourism experiences into New Zealand,” said Chris Tallent, Journey Beyond CEO.

“With a commitment to delivering unforgettable journeys, Journey Beyond looks forward to building on the incredible work of Grand Pacific’s founder Peter Harding and his team in this breathtaking and experience rich country.

“Get ready for an exciting new chapter in experiential travel as Journey Beyond invites explorers to discover New Zealand like never before.”

The New Zealand coach holiday specialist has been indulging travellers from all over the world since 1996.

Grand Pacific Tours perfectly aligns with Journey Beyond’s promise to go further and complements the group’s extensive overnight rail tours on trains like The Ghan, Indian Pacific and Great Southern, along with their premium small-group outback operator Outback Spirit.

Unique to Grand Pacific Tours (GPT) is two distinct styles of coach travel. Ultimate Small Group Tours showcases the best of New Zealand on its exclusive business class coaches limited to 20 travellers.

Alternatively, the company’s popular Signature Mid-Size group tours provide premium economy comfort onboard its custom designed 32-seater coaches.

“I am thrilled to pass the Grand Pacific Tours baton to Journey Beyond, who are now the proud custodians of our legacy,” said Peter Harding, Founder and Managing Director of GPT.

“Like Grand Pacific Tours, Journey Beyond embodies an unwavering commitment to providing their customers with the very best experiences. Together, we are embarking on a new chapter filled with promise and excellence.”
