Sidetracks – About us

We want you to have an unforgettable travel experience with us and LIVE New Zealand!

On our trips you’ll not only see the famous highlights, but also the less well-known treasures the country has to offer. All the places  and people that so uniquely make New Zealand what it is and that we have uncovered after years of living in this beautiful country.

Our small and personal tour company was founded on the passion and experience of Angelika Pastoors. She has been working in the Tourism industry for nearly 30 years and after managing a travel agency in Germany, she has now worked as tour guide for the past 20 years -  13 years in New Zealand. 

Our tour guides all know New Zealand "up and down" - the mainroads, the backroads, the highways, the ‘No Exit’ -  roads and of course the hiking tracks. We enjoy sharing our knowledge of nature and the country with our participants and are all individuals who love nature and travel. It’s our job to ensure your trip runs without a hitch, and to make every day an unforgettable experience.

Some of our trips are organised in co-operation with Trails Nature and Adventure Tours Ltd. Germany who we have worked with intensively for many years.
