New Zealand Bus Tour for Independent Travelers

ORANGE IS THE NEW GREEN

We believe the majority of visitors to New Zealand choose us as a location for our pristine scenery and outdoors. Stray wants you to have a fantastic time experiencing our beautiful country but we also know that all of us need to play our part in caring and maintaining it.

Our aspiration is to fully get involved in helping to protect this unique environment for which NZ is renowned for (and for all generations of travellers that might come after you). In order to achieve this major goal and because we aim to become a truly sustainable company we have undertaken the following initiatives:

We have the first commercially-run bus in NZ operating on recycled waste product (used cooking oil) for the Stray’s Auckland city orientation tour

We run different size and more economical buses depending on group size to minimise impact

We run the newest fleet of backpacker vehicles with Euro 3 and 4 emission standards

We encourage our drivers to enforce the ‘take only photos, leave only footprints’ policy

We started a campaign to support the Native Bird Recovery Centre in Whangarei

We commissioned experts as consultants to audit and help ensure us to reduce our emissions and be as environmentally friendly as possible

We recycle plastic, glass and paper in the Stray offices and use energy efficient light bulbs

We provide scooters instead of cars for our sales staff vehicles to have less emissions

We run fewer departures in the winter when there are less travellers to New Zealand, as while travelling on a bus is one of the most energy efficient ways to travel this is only true if the bus is full!

Please help us keep New Zealand clean and green too!

Thanks,

Stray Team
