Join us in making a real difference - good for the environment, good for business, and GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL.

GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL - Kaitiaki is an initiative focused on protecting the biodiversity of Hauraki Coromandel through tree planting and supporting predator control. To get involved, simply donate 12 trees a year. Want to go bigger? Donate a tree for every guest, overnight stay, or activity. 

By joining, your business will directly contribute to biodiversity efforts. Each tree ($10) you donate supports the environment, with $1 from every tree going towards vital predator control initiatives. Choose a planting project that aligns with your values and strengthens the connection between your business and the region’s unique ecosystems.

This is a simple way for your business to commit to the Tiaki Promise, Tourism Sustainability Commitment, and enviro standards for organisations like Qualmark and 1% for The Planet etc.
