Tony
How long have you been with Bush and Beach
11 years
What do you do?
Tour guide and some marketing for the company
What is your favourite tour and why?
Would have to be the Coast and Rainforest tour as I love hiking (tramping) and this tour has the longest walks on it. Plus it is a very relaxed pace tour.
What is your favourite stop from all the tours and why?
Piha beach is always one of my favourites – I’ve lived in Piha for 24 years and love it. Having said that, the lunch at Hot Waves Café on our Coromandel tour is pretty spectacular!
What fact do you talk about on tour that always amazes people?
How recently people arrived in Aotearoa and that before that there were no native land mammals apart from the native bats.
What do you love most about what you do?
Sharing places I love with other people. You can often take for granted the beauty that is NZ, to hear guests amazement at what they are seeing reminds us how beautiful a place it is we call home.
