Our
Story
My name is Akhil Prakash, and I came to New Zealand from India carrying a dream and a deep love for this extraordinary land.
With a background spanning tourism, hospitality, and planning, I have always understood what it means to plan with purpose — to create experiences that are not just efficient, but meaningful.
But Epic Frame Adventures was not born in a boardroom. It was born from a personal moment that stopped me in my tracks.
When my parents visited New Zealand, I watched them hold back. They were new to the country, reserved by nature, and surrounded by landscapes that should have taken their breath away — but they didn't explore. Not because they didn't want to. But because I wasn't there with them or someone I could trust for them to travel with and they didn't have someone they felt truly comfortable with. Someone who understood them, communicated with them naturally, and made them feel safe enough to step outside their door and into the wonders of Aotearoa.
That realization changed everything for me.
I thought — how many people are out there just like my parents? Travelers who are curious and eager, but held back by language barriers, unfamiliar environments, or simply not having someone they can trust by their side?
That is exactly who Epic Frame Adventures is for. We want to break all the barriers for our customers and make them truly feel comfortable and thrilled to visit New Zealand. We wish to make it seamless, stress free, adventurous and you know what come next. That's right - Epic!
What we do and our vision
We believe travel should leave a mark on your heart — not on the environment.
Epic Frame Adventures is a boutique private tour company based in the heart of New Zealand's South Island. We exist for the travelers who want more than just a sightseeing checklist — those who want to feel a place, capture it beautifully, and carry it with them long after they've gone home.
Who we are
We are passionate storytellers, adventure guides, and content creators, dedicated to showing you the raw, breathtaking beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand in the most personal and meaningful way possible.
Every tour we run is completely private — just you, your group, and an experience crafted entirely around you. No crowded coaches, no rushed schedules. Just pure, unhurried exploration through some of the most stunning landscapes on the planet.
Making memories that last
We combine private guided touring with a professional photography and content creation service — so you don't just visit the South Island, you leave with a stunning visual story of your journey.
Whether it's cinematic reels for your social media, beautifully edited photos for your memories, or both — we capture your adventure the way it deserves to be remembered.
The South Island is one of Earth's most precious places. We take that seriously.
Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us — it's built into everything we do. From the routes we choose to the partners we work with, we are committed to operating in a way that protects and respects the natural environment and the communities that call this place home.
We follow Leave No Trace principles on every tour, support local and indigenous experiences, and are continuously working to reduce our environmental footprint — because the landscapes we share with you today need to be here for generations to come.
