About BL Tourism Group
aka Real New Zealand Adventures
​
​
In 2011 we founded BL Tourism Group with the vision of providing a New Zealand tourism experience like no other. Since 2011 BL Tourism Group has grown to 8 Stand alone companies.(see below) We focus on giving our customers a unique experience where we showcase the REAL New Zealand, heading away from mainstream activities, but if you're a fan you still have to include a Hobbit Tour!  ​But in 2020 our world crashed down around us as it did for many businesses and we closed down Roselands, the tourism based restaurant at Waitomo Caves which was the hub for everything and moved to Taranaki to regroup and figure out what to do next. ​We opened Patient Transport Service while New Zealand borders were closed to tide us over in the meantime. ​Stepping back from the 7 day a week businesses gave us time to rest and reflect on our values and we decided to focus on our family life more. ​We still offer our bespoke Real New Zealand Adventure tours but have downscaled everything else to allow for more family time and making YouTube videos.
