Accessibility

Last reviewed: September 2026

Pure Discoveries® wants everyone to be able to plan and book a New Zealand tour on this website, including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice control or keyboard-only navigation.

The standard we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. These are the internationally recognised guidelines for making web content accessible, and they are the standard the New Zealand Government uses for its own websites.

What we have done

  • Text and background colours are checked for contrast so they are easy to read.
  • Every page can be used with a keyboard, with a visible outline showing where you are.
  • Pages use proper headings, landmarks and labels so screen readers can navigate them.
  • Images carry text descriptions, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
  • Pop-up windows, such as Request a Call Back, can be closed with the Escape key and return you to where you were.
  • Animation is reduced if you have asked your device to reduce motion.
  • Pages resize and reflow for phones, tablets and zoomed-in browsers without losing content.

Known limitations

Some parts of the website are harder to make fully accessible, and we are working on them:

  • Downloadable PDF brochures may not work as well with screen readers as the web pages. The same tour information is always available on the tour page itself.
  • Interactive route maps are visual. Each tour’s day-by-day itinerary lists the same places in text.
  • Card payments are handled by our secure payment provider, whose checkout we do not control.

Tell us if something does not work for you

If you have trouble using any part of this website, or you would like information in a different format, please get in touch. We will do our best to help you, and your feedback helps us improve the site for everyone.

If you are booking a tour and have access or mobility needs while travelling, please let us know when you book so we can plan for them.
