Kia Ora, my name is Runty Jackson and I am a traveller! 

With 30 years of travel experience and nearly 90 countries already ticked off my bucket list I know a fair bit about this travel experience gig.  In all my travels I have yet to find a place that even comes close to New Zealand’s epic countryside, awesome adventures, great accommodating people, and fun filled days.  Hence my dream to share this with others, get like minded people together to share laughs, good times and fun adventures with Runty’s Roadies. 

I am a trained school teacher with over 30 years in the classroom organising school camps gives you assurance my health and safety forms are in order.  Driving tourist buses around New Zealand gives you assurance that I know all those hot spots other tours miss. 

 I personally drive all tours or have trained and vetted other drivers – so you can rest assured you are in the best hands.  I have a great team behind me who are super great at organising and will solve any concerns or questions you have with a smile on their face.  

Our motto…life is too short to stay home!

We offer organized tours, custom designed experiences, and as much or as little involvement in your activities as you like. 

Our guide Runty did a great job with scheduling everything. He made sure that everyone was at the right place at the right time for different activities and within these schedules he also gave rides to other places when necessary. He was very good at organizing everything in a relaxed manner. Runty was genuinly interested in making the tour as good as possible for everyone.

Runty our tour guide went to great lengths to ensure he accommodated our every need. He bent over backwards to please us and provide alternative activities when planned ones were cancelled by the venue. I believe Runty's resourcefulness saved the day for us all.
