Four Waikato businesses are shining on the national stage as finalists in the New Zealand Tourism Awards, competing against over 170 entries in a record-breaking year. Hahei Explorer, a family-run marine operation since 2006, is vying for Tourism Talent Employer of Choice after its founder’s sudden passing — now led by his daughter and partner, who’ve kept the spirit alive through resilience and heart. Glass Bottom Boat Whitianga, also a finalist, celebrates small-scale excellence with community and environmental care at its core. Hamilton Gardens and Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautiri round out the Waikato contingent, with the latter even earning two finalist spots. Winners will be revealed November 4 in Christchurch — a proud moment for Kiwi tourism talent and responsible travel.
