Giving Back | Travel With Purpose at Wanderlust NZ

Good Adventures. Positive Impact.

At Wanderlust NZ, we believe travel is about more than the places you visit. It’s about the people you meet, the experiences you share and the difference we can make along the way.

When you’re lucky enough to explore a country as beautiful as Aotearoa New Zealand, it feels right to give a little back. We’re committed to making more conscious choices, reducing our environmental impact and supporting causes that help protect the places and wildlife that make our adventures so special.

From caring for our harbour and oceans to supporting organisations doing important conservation work, we believe small actions can add up to something meaningful. And we’d love you to be part of it.

Help Protect Our Oceans with Sea Shepherd NZ

Love the ocean? Help us look after it.

New Zealand’s coastlines and marine life are a big part of what makes travelling here so special. That’s why Wanderlust NZ supports Sea Shepherd New Zealand, an organisation dedicated to marine conservation and protecting our oceans.

You can get involved during your stay by purchasing a Wanderlust NZ keychain from reception. For every keychain sold, $1 is donated to Sea Shepherd New Zealand.

It’s a small souvenir with a bigger purpose — a reminder of your time in Tauranga and a little contribution towards protecting our precious marine environment.

Pick up your Wanderlust keychain at reception and help us give back to our oceans.

Be Part of the Good

One of the best things about travelling is discovering new places and meeting people from all over the world. It’s also a chance to leave a positive mark on the places we visit.

While you’re staying with us, support local businesses, respect our natural environment, look after our shared spaces and leave the beaches, harbour and walking tracks as beautiful as you found them.

Because great travel isn’t just about what you take away from a place. It’s also about what you give back.

Travel with heart. Leave a little good behind.

Excellent location and accessibility. Love the balcony & harbour view!

I stayed here for two weeks. This hostel had a very good vibe, everyone was always socializing upstairs rather than being wired to a screen. Staff was very polite, great location. All in all great time, will definitely be coming back for a bit soon. Cheers!

What an amazing place with such an amazing view. The staff are so friendly and kind. The kitchen is right on the balcony and its breath taking. Whenever you travel anywhere you find one place that is your new home. This is definitely mine :)
