Gray Line

Gray Line has a proud history in New Zealand.

Starting out in 1967 as Mini Tours NZ Ltd the company operated a small fleet of vans, limousines and mini coaches. Services included regular tours of Auckland along with day and overnight tours to the Bay of Islands, Rotorua and The Waitomo Glow Worm caves.

Business continued to develop and grow alongside the associated company Scenic Coachlines Ltd. In 1983 Scenic Tours NZ Ltd became the new trading name for a series of brochured daily departing tours.

Scenic Tours NZ Ltd developed over the years a number of innovative itineraries making the most of many of New Zealand’s famous destinations and attractions.

In 1995 the company introduced the first deluxe 5 star twin deck coach service on the Auckland, Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Rotorua route as an attraction packed day tour. Onboard snacks and lunch served airline style by a ‘Host’ enables the service to cover both destinations comfortably in a day while those choosing to stay overnight in Rotorua enjoy a Maori Hangi and Concert, and a trip to Lake Taupo before connecting with the return sector to Auckland later in the day.

Today as Gray Line New Zealand, we offer a New Zealand-wide coach touring programme.
