Our historyAAT Kings’ story began in 1912 when the Pyke family pioneered coach touring in Australia. Starting with self-drive car hire in 7 seat vehicles in Sydney, we expanded to guided sightseeing tours. By the 1960s the company, known as AAT, had become Sydney’s largest tour operator. In the 1980s we teamed up with pioneering adventurer Bill King’s Northern Safaris, which led to the creation of what we know today as AAT Kings. We began operations in New Zealand in 1999.

Tiwi Islands – Our little cover star ‘Nathan’ being painted up by his Mum before a ceremonial dance for our guests

What an honor it is for our team to forge such strong relationships with indigenous communities throughout Australia and New Zealand. In New Zealand the Maori culture is ever present throughout all our vacations, but a visit to the Tamaki Family Marae is an opportunity to get truly hands-on. Get a taste of weaving, carving, dancing and even train to be a Maori warrior, then whet your appetite with a traditional Maori hangi feast of food cooked in the ground, and wow, what an experience you’ll get if you join us in the Tiwi Islands! Tiwi Island people are some of the warmest, most smiling individuals you’ll cross paths with and how they openly share their stories and culture with guests is phenomenal. It’s also very hard to resist purchasing one of the amazing pieces of artwork as a memento of your visit, especially when you’ve watched them being painted or carved right before your eyes.
