We, the Travel With Lesley Whyte team, owe you a heartfelt apology.
To every guest who said,
“We’ll just do one tour with you,”
only to find themselves returning again (and again)… we’re sorry.
To every group of friends who swore they were planning
“just one trip together,”
but ended up having so much fun they’ve now booked another destination with us… we apologise sincerely.
We’re incredibly excited to share some wonderful news — Travel With Lesley Whyte has been officially nominated for the 10th Annual Travel & Tourism Awards presented by LUXlife!
Although we don’t yet know who nominated us, we are genuinely humbled that someone out there felt our work and our experiences deserved recognition on an international stage. We have proudly accepted the nomination, and we can’t wait to share the next steps with you as they unfold. Stay tuned — updates coming soon!

Chatham Island Adventures & Tours is proudly part of the Travel With Lesley Whyte family — delivering exceptional small-group adventure experiences across the remarkable Chatham Islands.
This is not ordinary travel.
This is remote, raw and real.
Our curated small-group journeys are designed for those who feel most alive outdoors — where the salt air is fresh, the landscapes are vast and the experiences are authentic. Whether you’re casting a line for world-famous blue cod, exploring untouched native bushland, heading out on a guided hunting expedition, or walking remote coastlines few ever set foot on, every moment connects you to the spirit of the islands.
Many of our activities are exclusive experiences, not available through other tour operators — made possible through long-standing local relationships and trusted island partnerships. This is access you simply won’t find elsewhere.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there.
Step off the beaten track and into the unfiltered beauty of Rēkohu — dramatic cliffs, windswept beaches, rich Moriori heritage and landscapes that feel worlds away from the everyday. With deep local knowledge, seamless logistics and meticulous planning behind every itinerary, we deliver immersive experiences that are authentic, respectful and unforgettable.
Small groups. Big landscapes.
Exclusive access.
True island adventure.
If you’re ready to explore beyond the ordinary, the Chathams are calling.
