PDNZ Story & Our Team

Our Story

Founded in 1996, Pacific Destinations has always been driven by one core ethos: our people, our people, our people.

As a family-owned and operated company, we extend our "family" beyond just blood relations. Whether you're a shareholder, tour consultant, accountant, or the office landscaper, you're a valued member of our team.

Our mission is built on family values and remains unchanged: do good work and have some fun along the way.
We know if we achieve this, good things will happen.

In an industry which is centred around people, it's the connections we make that truly matter. We see our partners across New Zealand and around the world as friends. PDNZ has proudly earned a reputation for building solid relationships based on trust, integrity and destination expertise.

Our company culture is one of our greatest strengths and something we take immense pride in. We foster a culture of innovation, creativity, and learning, ensuring every team member has a voice and the opportunity to grow both the business and their individual roles within it.

Our Team are the Heart of PDNZ

Our people are the heart of everything we do and the PDNZ team is one of the most experienced in New Zealand. That experience means we can apply our creativity and industry knowledge to build one-of-a-kind itineraries that are tailored to suit every client we work with. Through each stage of the process, you will receive world class service and attention to detail.
