About Us

about us

From Cape Town to Brisbane, Byron and everywhere in between.

Born in South Africa and raised in Southeast Queensland, Drew has always had a passion for creating authentic, experience-rich adventures. After founding Kiff Kombi Tours in Cape Town, he saw an opportunity to bring that same spirit of connection and discovery back home.

He teamed up with Gold Coast local Alex, a natural storyteller with a gift for bringing people together, and together they launched Kiff & Culture.

What began as a vision to celebrate local food, people, and places has grown into a leading experience brand that makes exploring Australia’s East Coast effortless, meaningful, and a whole lot of fun.

Who are we?

With a keen eye for exceptional destinations, Kiff & Culture partners with over 75 leading restaurants, wineries, distilleries, and local artisans across Australia’s East Coast. Every experience is thoughtfully curated to showcase authentic flavours, refined craftsmanship, and genuine connection.

From crushing sugarcane on a farm to learning ancient Indigenous stories, chasing waterfalls, or sipping boutique gins, each journey captures the essence of Australia’s vibrant culture and natural beauty.

Recognised by Tourism and Events Queensland as a Best of Queensland Experience, Kiff & Culture has hosted more than 1,000 experiences and earned over 230 five-star reviews — a testament to their passion for creating unforgettable moments.

At its core, Kiff & Culture is about connection: to people, places, and the stories that make each destination special.

Kiff & Culture is the sister brand to Reveling, a premium and fully bespoke experiences provider across Australia & Africa.

Local Knowledge

We love showing guests the local spots most travellers never find. Every itinerary is shaped by insider knowledge and built to support the local legends who make each destination unique.

Nature First

We only partner with businesses that share our eco-minded values — from sustainable farms and wineries to boutique stays. Low-impact, high-quality experiences are what we’re all about.

Ethical Eats

Paddock-to-plate dining is in our DNA. When 0km isn’t possible, we choose local, ethical producers who care about provenance as much as we do — inspiring others to eat, shop, and travel sustainably.

What is 'Kiff'?

‘Kiff’ is South African slang for something that is cool, epic or awesome, and Drew’s first company, Kiff Kombi Tours started off offering experiences in Cape Town in an old school VW Kombi named Veronica. The Kiff brand grew to Australia, and the Kiff & Culture Kombi logo pays homage to her spirit.

Although both companies in South Africa and Australia now use modern vans of all shapes and sizes according to the group size (jazzed up with a pretty kiff decal), our experiences replicate the adventurous, fun and carefree spirit Veronica – and the humble Kombi – embodies.
