About SeeAndDo New Zealand
Founded in Northland in 2006, SeeAndDo is a New Zealand travel discovery and activity booking platform helping Free Independent Travellers discover, plan and book experiences throughout New Zealand.

Our Story
SeeAndDo began in 2006 in Northland with a simple idea: help visitors discover the wide range of activities and attractions available across New Zealand.
In our early days, we worked directly with accommodation providers, producing promotional videos showcasing nearby tourism operators and experiences. These videos were distributed on DVD and played in reception areas, helping travellers discover what they could see and do in the local region before heading out to explore.
As online video became possible, SeeAndDo evolved into one of New Zealand's early travel platforms focused on destination content, inspiration and helping travellers make better decisions about how to spend their time in New Zealand.
That same purpose remains unchanged today—helping people discover and experience the very best of New Zealand.
