Creating Your Account

Sign Up in Under a Minute#

Getting started with Tiki Tours is straightforward. You can create an account using your email address or sign in with Google — either way, you will be ready to browse trails and plan trips within a minute.

How to Create Your Account#

1. Open the app — visit tiki.tours on your browser or download the mobile app
2. Tap "Sign Up" — you will see options to register with email or Google
3. Choose your method:
   • Email: Enter your email and choose a password. We will send a confirmation link — click it to verify your address.
   • Google: Tap "Continue with Google" and authorise the connection. No password needed.
4. You are in — once verified, you land on the map dashboard with full access to the Explorer tier

Your Personal Account#

Every Tiki Tours user gets a personal account automatically. This is where your trips, saved trails, and preferences live. You do not need to create a team or organisation — everything works under your personal account.

Setting Up Your Profile#

After signing in, head to Settings to customise your profile:

• Display name — how your name appears on shared trips
• Avatar — upload a photo or use your Google profile image
• Region preference — set a home region so the map centres on trails near you by default
• Email preferences — choose which notifications you want (trail alerts, product updates, billing)

What is Included for Free#

Your Explorer account includes everything you need to discover and plan:

• Full DOC trail, hut, and campsite catalog
• Unlimited trip creation and saving
• Public trip sharing
• Demographic lenses (family, photographer, fitness views)
• Completely ad-free experience

If you want offline maps, fitness tracking, or GPX tools, you can upgrade to Trekker at any time from the Billing page. See Explorer vs Trekker for the full comparison.
