The Go Electric Eco Tour eGuide is a collaboration between Eco Villa and GOOD Travel, in partnership with Thrifty Car Rental, Camp Glenorchy, Olivers Lodge and Stables, Valley Views Glamping, SiloStay, Rainforest Retreat, Orari Boutique Heritage Hotel, Ziptrek Ecotours, Franz Josef Wilderness Tours, Glacier Valley Eco Tours, Bike It Now!, Pohatu Penguins and Ecoseaker.
The free online guide book will allow GOOD travellers to explore the central South Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand in an awesome electric vehicle, at their own pace. The guide provides information about where to stay, where to eat, what to do and where to charge. You can download the guide for free here.
One of the concerns drivers often have about using an EV for a road trip is to be sure there are sufficient places to charge along the route. This eGuide addresses that concern by providing an interactive Google Map, which will show drivers exactly where and when they can charge. ChargeNet Fast Chargers also allows for drivers to charge in under 20 minutes!
The eGuide also provides discount codes, which will save GOOD Travellers up to $150 when booking at the accommodation and activity partners. These businesses are leading the way in sustainable tourism.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated to the tourism industry that we have to work together. The resilience of our industry relies on it. Our goal with the Go Electric Eco Tour is to strengthen collaboration amongst like-minded tourism SMEs as well as to inspire Kiwis to explore our own backyard and learn from the places we visit. Ultimately, we want to show that doing GOOD, having fun and experiencing some luxury are not mutually exclusive, and we want to create an experience that is GOOD for Kiwi tourists, businesses, communities, and our environment.” ~ says Josie Major, GOOD Travel’s New Zealand Programmes Manager.
