Tamatea Rate

celebrating 10 Years

of adventure

If you're reading this because at some point over the past ten years you've joined us for an adventure then we simply wanted to say thank you for YOU being a part of our lives.

Without you we wouldn't be where we are in business but most importantly we wouldn't be who we are as humans.

These are not just AI generated pretty words. They are imperfectly ours.

You have helped us transform a Royal New Zealand Navy  vessel into an expedition vessel filled with community, purpose, laughter and great food, hot tubs, adventures, great yarns, bold ideas and unforgettable stories.
 

If you're reading this and you don't know us yet you'll hopefully get the idea that we're more than a business or tourism operation or charter boat... we're passionate people privileged to call Fiordland home and share it's magic with wonderful humans... we do people, connection and place... the business simply happens to allow us to live our values and give back.. to place and people.. which is where this celebration comes in.... smile...

 

A wonderful good day (and pardon the love letter... we are just excited..),

Our passion for place and people continues to grow and we have no idea of where we’ll be in another ten years.. smile.. change is the only constant and we could have never have imagines being where we are right now.

 

Seán and I couldn’t have dreamt of our brainstorm on a beach with a little scrap paper to turn into this wonderful construct we call Pure Salt. Thanks to you it’s so much more than a business.. it’s a LIFE full of awesome "clients", crew, collaborators and inspiring projects, volunteers, creatives and friends.. often showing up as a combination… 

We're incredibly humbled and grateful to be celebrating our ten year love affair with Flightless and everybody who is part of our journey… So as we do... we’ve dreamt up ways to say thank you and look forward to the next ten years unfolding one adventure at a time…

 

Have a lovely day wherever your feet touch the ground as you read this.

So we're introducing a Tamatea nightly charter rate of $10,000 for clients happy to commit to half a day of conservation work during their adventure with us and can't wait to see what we can shift together... just imagine...

HOW

WHY

It's a privilege to function as a social enterprise and we couldn't do it without wonderful volunteers, other businesses, client donations, storytelling and artist involvement. AND we can always do more so we thought what if more people would turn up with the intention to pitch in...

What

 

The Tamatea rate is available from the 1st of March 2026 to bookings made on that day or after.

The work and availability will vary depending on what is needed on the ground as it's not just to make us feel good but to actually DO good.
