Tom Loughlin

Private Cultural and Adventure Guide

”Whakapapa,
Ko Tauhara te maunga
Taupo te moana
Waikato te awa
Ruingarangi te hapu
Tuwharetoa te iwi 
Ko Tom Loughlin toku ingoa”

For Maori guide, Tom Loughlin, whose heritage has always been an immensely important and proud one, these words reflect the deep connection he feels… to the land and mountains, lakes and rivers, to tribal ties…. Being able to share his culture and the tribal region where he grew up gives Tom joy and his strong background in hospitality, food and travel combines to deliver meaningful experiences around special interests for “manuhiri” – guests.
