Your Hosts

Prinz Tours Ltd is proud to be a family-owned business. In 1989, Jörg Prinz and his family moved to New Zealand from Germany and settled on the shores of the Bay of Plenty. Jörg's sons, Johannes and Lennart, are now grown up and live their own lifes. Charlotte joined Jörg in 2004 and helps with the day-to-day running of the B&B. The company employs 5 highly qualified driver/guides to conduct tours throughout New Zealand. Sometimes Jörg conducts tours himself. More so these days he pursuits his passion for Family and Medical Counselling.

Prinz Tours is operated from the Pohutukawa Beach B&B, a 14 ha organic farm, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The area has a very mild and settled climate and is the perfect place for Jörg and Charlotte to mix business and private life.

Over the years, Jörg have travelled extensively through New Zealand. Jörg was previously a doctor at Whakatane hospital. He made it his profession now to share his enthusiasm for New Zealand's nature, culture, beauty and history with visitors from around the world. On tours, Jörg and the team teach groups about subjects like volcanism, the use of indigenous plants in Maori medicine and the history of Maori and European settlers.

Best of all they take their visitors to places of immense scenic beauty. Even in New Zealand those places are sometimes very well hidden so its worthwhile seeking their travel advice.
