The vehicle

Quietly capable, immaculately finished

A white and black Ducato Maxi built for long, slow travel. The Thule awning opens a second living room within a minute, and the 400 watt solar array keeps you off grid for days at a time.

Routes of discovery

The coastline, region by region

Every day is planned at four hours of driving or less, so the road stays a pleasure and the discovering happens outside the van. Choose the length of your expedition.

The Northern Discovery

Auckland · Coromandel · Bay of Plenty · Northland

A first taste of Aotearoa — kauri forest, the wild west coast and the long golden arc of the Bay of Islands. Never more than four hours behind the wheel.
