A bit about us

Based in the Bay of Plenty township of Katikati, our welcoming team prides itself on excellent service and an intimate knowledge of everything our special little corner of New Zealand has to offer. Owners Kent and Kate Pfennig moved back to New Zealand from the USA in 2011 after years of farming and more than two decades travelling the world with each other and then their three boys.

They purchased the Katikati Motel, which they ran for four and a half years, and launched ND Kiwi Tours to share their passion for travel and New Zealand with others.

Kent’s roots in North Dakota gave rise to the ‘ND’ in the ‘ND Kiwi Tours’ name. He grew up working on a sheep and beef farm near the state capital Bismarck and proudly calls himself a North Dakota Kiwi.

Customers say:

Just a short note to thank for your time whilst QM2 was docked at Tarangua earlier this week. Our trip to Rorotua was super and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. As I mentioned to you before, Keith particularly enjoyed our outing as you were able to go at his pace; so many tours do not.
We were grateful for your suggestion of the alternative route back -which enabled us to see a little more of the countryside in our short visit.
Your driving and narrative were super; again, a most enjoyable day. Thank you.

Mandy and Keith

This transport service is starting to transform Katikati by offering a number of options for residents and visitors to travel in and around our town. This is a reliable service which is run as a family business by people who are very customer aware and focussed. These kind and generous people have a growing business that has a lot to offer our community.
