From Oil to Eco-Tourism
Graeme Rivett, our Managing Director, brings over 25 years of experience in tourism and eco-friendly transport. After spending several years in the oil industry and witnessing its negative environmental impact, he vowed to create a sustainable, clean, and green business.
In 1997, while managing his logistics company in London and New York, Graeme introduced pedicabs to Central London, now the largest fleet in the world. He designed these pedicabs to meet European standards and focused on training the riders, managers, and supervisors, continually setting new standards in sustainable transportation.
This dedication drives Kiwi Connect’s mission to offer eco-friendly, high-end tours in Aotearoa.
