To fly for hire or reward we had to have a Commercial Pilot License

A private certificate permits 25 mile maximum from departure point sight seeing
flights, IIRC. Commercial permits flying for heir (crop dusting, photo, banner
tow, ...), but not pax.

Different here and I rather suspect there.

I'm surprised to hear it's different in NZ.

A Commercial permits you to fly for hire or reward. Carrying cargo, ag
chemicals or pax.

Flying pax beyond 25 miles from point of departure is Part 135 or Part 121
here.
