- About MoaTrek
We’re thrilled to share that MoaTrek has once again been recognised in the 2026 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, marketing our fifth time receiving this honour.
MoaTrek has now received Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice recognition in 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. For our small New Zealand-owned team, this is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, not only because of the award itself, but because it is based on the reviews and ratings shared by our travellers.
Every MoaTrek tour is shaped by the care, knowledge and hard work of our Kiwi Guides and the team behind the scenes who plan each journey, answer questions, organise the details and help make every traveller feel looked after from start to finish.
The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards recognise businesses that consistently earn excellent traveller reviews and ratings. For us, that makes this award especially meaningful. It reflects the experiences of the people who have joined our small group tours, travelled with our Kiwi Guides, and taken the time to share their memories afterwards.

What our Travellers are Saying
Recent 5-star reviews have reminded us why we love what we do.
One traveller who joined our 21 day Kakapo tour in February 2026 shared:
“My husband and I have done some group tours in the past that were very good, so the bar was set high. We had heard and read good reviews about the company and the tour did not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded our expectations!”
Another traveller highlighted the value of travelling with one of our expert Kiwi Guides:
“Gail Hapi is one of the most amazingly capable people that you could ever meet. She drove the coach while giving really entertaining and informative commentary that really helped us to understand and connect with the incredible land we were travelling through.”
Another traveller called the 21-day journey “truly exceptional”, mentioning the small group atmosphere, optional adventures, cultural experiences, scenic stops, and the friendships formed along the way. Their Kiwi Guide’s knowledge, humour and personal care made the trip even more memorable.
Travellers continue to tell us they value the things MoaTrek has always focused on: small groups, expert local guides, relaxed pacing, carefully planned itineraries and genuine Kiwi hospitality.
