Built from Christchurch
A tourism website by someone who knows what visitors need.
EightySix Digital is a New Zealand web design agency that builds fast, hand-coded websites designed to win bookings.
I’m based in Christchurch, close to the South Island’s tourism heartland, and I build for guests who are often planning from the other side of the world: on a phone, on patchy wifi, comparing you with a dozen others in a few minutes.
So your site isn’t a generic template with a booking button stuck on. It’s built to load fast anywhere, show off the experience, build trust with real reviews and get a guest to book in as few taps as possible. The Karamu Horse Adventures website is one example. No bullshit, just a site that takes bookings.

Everything your tourism website needs, in one build.
Design, development and marketing under one roof, so nothing falls through the cracks.
- 01Custom tourism design
A design built around your experiences, your landscape and your brand, never a recycled template.
- 02Built to take bookings
Clear booking buttons, short paths to checkout, and prices and availability where people look for them, so a visitor goes from looking to booked in a few taps.
- 03Mobile-first & fast
Travellers research on their phones, often on patchy connections. Your site loads in under a second and puts the booking button under their thumb.
- 04SEO, AEO & GEO ready
Schema, clear answers and fast pages, so you can be found on Google and named in AI trip planning from day one. See SEO for tourism operators and GEO for tourism operators.
- 05Hosting, SSL & analytics
12 months hosting on a global CDN, SSL, GA4 and Search Console, set up so you can see where your bookings come from.
- 06Managed & built to grow
Need a change, or a new page for next season? We handle it, with optional SEO and Google Ads to keep bookings coming.
Booking integration
Your booking system, on your site.
FareHarbor, Rezdy, Checkfront and similar. We build around the system you already use, rather than asking you to switch.
Works with your system
Whatever you use, we work with it, and we check what it supports before we quote so there are no surprises later.
Booking where guests already are
Book buttons on every page and every experience, linking or embedding into your booking flow so a visitor never gets lost.
Tracking that follows the booking
Where your system allows it, we set up conversion tracking so you see which pages, searches and ads led to a booking, not just a visit.
Guests stay on your site
Where your system allows it, booking happens inside your own site’s look and feel, so guests don’t feel handed off to a stranger.
The details, laid out clearly
Departure times, group sizes, what’s included and what to bring, answered up front so guests aren’t left guessing.
You own it all
You own your website and your domain, and we don’t tie your booking system to us. If you ever move on, everything goes with you.
Who we build for
Websites for every kind of tourism business.
From a family-run guide with one boat to a multi-activity operator, we build sites that fit the experience and win the booking.
Every kind of operator
Built for the way you operate.
Whatever you sell, we build the pages and booking paths that suit how guests choose it.
- 01Adventure activities
Jet boats, canyoning, ziplines and the rest. Bold, fast pages built around one thing: getting the group booked for the day they’re free.
- 02Guided tours & day trips
Itinerary, pick-up points, what’s included and honest reviews on one clear page per tour, so questions are answered before they’re asked.
- 03Heli-ski & heli-hike
High-value, weather-dependent trips. Clear safety and experience information, plain weather and rebooking details, and a booking path built for big-ticket decisions.
- 04Fishing guides & lodges
Seasons, rivers and lodge details with strong photography, and an enquiry or booking path that suits multi-day stays.
- 05Boutique lodges
Rooms, rates and availability with a direct-booking path that’s easy enough to compete with the OTA listing, and a reason to book direct. See how direct bookings work.
- 06Ski & winter operators
Seasonal pages that switch on when the snow does, built for last-minute and repeat bookers.
How it works

Discovery
A quick chat about your experiences, your seasons and the booking system you use.

Design
A custom design built around your brand and shaped to convert, not a template.

What is web design for tourism operators?
Web design for tourism operators is building a website specifically for a tour, activity or lodge business, one that looks the part, builds trust and is set up to turn visitors into bookings. It means mobile-first design, clear experience pages, your booking system built in and SEO so travellers can find you.
How much does a tourism website cost?
A tourism website starts from NZ$900 · AU$750 · US$500 · £400 · CA$750 for a single page, with each extra page from $300. Every build includes SEO, AEO and GEO in the code, GA4 and Search Console, 12 months hosting and SSL. There are no lock-in contracts and you own the site. Build an instant price →
Will a new website get me more direct bookings?
A good website makes it easy and safe to book, which turns more visitors into direct bookings. To actually get found, it pairs with SEO and Google Ads, and with a presence in AI answers. We build every site to rank and convert, then can drive the traffic.
Can you integrate FareHarbor, Rezdy or Checkfront?
We build around the booking system you already use, including FareHarbor, Rezdy, Checkfront and similar. What’s possible depends on the system, so we check what yours supports before we quote and tell you plainly if something won’t work the way you want.
Are your tourism websites built for mobile and overseas visitors?
Yes. Many travellers research on a phone, often far from home and on a slow connection, so every site we build is mobile-first, fast anywhere and easy to read. We also build for the countries your guests come from, including the UK, US, Australia and Canada.
What pages should a tourism website have?
A strong home page, an about page that builds trust, and a separate page for each experience, tour or room you want bookings for. Google ranks individual pages, so a page per experience (and per departure point, if you have several) gives you more ways to be found. Add real photos, honest reviews, clear prices and a booking button on every page.
How do I get guests to book direct instead of through an OTA?
Make your own site the easiest place to book, and give people a reason to use it: clear availability, honest information and a smooth booking path. Then get found, with SEO, Google Ads and AI visibility, so travellers reach your site before the listing. See how direct bookings work →
Do you build websites for tourism operators outside New Zealand?
Yes. We build tourism websites for businesses across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, and quote in NZD, AUD, USD, GBP and CAD. The whole process runs online wherever you are.
