Two guides, with you from start to finish. No limits.
Lived through your hands, your ears and your skin
New Zealand is far away. But it doesn't have to feel out of reach.
We've designed experiences so that blind and low-vision people can discover this country with safety, independence and excitement.
Feeling the breeze and cold water on your face at Milford Sound. Sensing the geothermal heat of Rotorua. Running your hands over the carvings of Māori designs. Stepping through the door of Bilbo's house and into Hobbiton like a real hobbit.
And this is only the beginning.
Because the best way to get to know New Zealand isn't always with your sight, but with all your senses.
Our way of exploring New Zealand
We set no limits on adventure. Every route blends adrenaline, sensory immersion and authentic Māori culture.
what will you feel?Paragliding in Queenstown, kayaking in Kaikōura, jet boats. No mental limits.
Touch, smell and hearing as your guide: Hobbiton, Rotorua, Milford Sound, Te Puia.
The moko, the hāngi, the song of the whales through a hydrophone in Kaikōura.
The hāngi, the moko, the haka: Māori culture is lived up close, not watched from a distance.
Who said paragliding was only for some people?
At Watchout we believe adventure knows no limits. It knows curiosity, excitement, and people eager to throw themselves into experiences they'll remember for a lifetime.
This is one of our travellers flying over Queenstown. The wind on your face, the sense of freedom and that mix of nerves and excitement right before take-off… some moments stay with you forever.
How our travellers live it
I arrived afraid of being a burden and left feeling like just another traveller. Mónica and Sylvie describe every place with such care and detail that you see the landscape without seeing it. On the paragliding day I cried with joy.review by:
Two ways to live it
Same route, you choose your format: in a small group with set dates, or private and at your own pace.
A small group of travellers with the same eagerness as you to explore the world. Over 16 days we'll travel New Zealand together, sharing adventures, laughter and moments you'll remember for a lifetime. Because some trips end… and others give you friendships forever. We'll be by your side every step of the way, from the first day to the last.
A trip designed just for you, and for whoever you want to bring along. The two of us, exclusively, designing it at your pace: your days, your energy, your time. If you want more calm, more calm. If you want more adrenaline, more adrenaline. There's no mould here. There's a trip we make to measure, like a tailored suit.
New group trip: departing March 1
A small group of 3 to 6 travellers exploring New Zealand for 16 days. Spots are held on a first-come basis — tell us you're in and we'll save yours.
The wind on your face, the sense of freedom, your heart beating to the rhythm of adventure.
Not even in New Zealand are you safe from a curious alpaca.
The sound of geothermal mud bubbling in Rotorua: the living earth, breathing and speaking.
A Māori chant welcoming the kauri, New Zealand's giant, sacred tree.
Almost 8 years ago we arrived in New Zealand with a backpack full of dreams and uncertainty. Today we're Sylvie and Moni, the Watchout guides — because no one better than us to tell, beyond the visual, the magic of this country we call home.
