In 1954 Real Journeys founders Les and Olive Hutchins began walking people into Doubtful Sound, both revealing this unique world and championing its ongoing protection and preservation. This ethos has always been at the heart of our company. Since that first tour, this family owned company now offers journeys to Stewart Island, into Doubtful and Milford Sounds, across Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu and into the Te Anau Glowworm Caves. Be it rescuing the TSS Earnslaw from being scuttled and turning it into a national icon; introducing overnight cruises in Fiordland; or designing unique glass roofed coaches to maximize the view, Real Journeys has always been at the forefront of the tourism industry. This, combined with the passion of our people for the region and our dedication to quality ensures we deliver the best experience possible to our visitors. Apart from being tourism pioneers, Les and Olive were conservation pioneers leading the way with the ‘Save Manapouri’ campaign. We believe it is our duty to follow in their footsteps and we do so in a number ways – from recycling initiatives to reforestation programs, wildlife conservation to coastal clean-ups, conservation expeditions to our annual Cruise-for-a-Cause.
