Pacific Trailways is a group tour operator established in 1978. Our business concept was built on the vision, entrepreneurial efforts and significant New Zealand and Australian tourism industry experience of founding director, the late Bill Griffith. 

Current Pacific Trailways directors’ experience extends across the tourism, tour coach, airline, hotel and tourism training sectors plus marketing, social media, tourism finance and corporate management – positioning the company effectively to deliver creative and rewarding group tours. 

The Pacific Trailways business concept has the flexibility to design and operate conventional, special interest or custom tours. We work with tourism industry partners to achieve innovative tour experiences designed to offer rewarding encounters and fresh perspectives. We also welcome ideas for custom tours and are happy to partner with clubs, groups or individuals who may wish to create their own group tour experiences.
