Few countries allow you to up the ante as much as New Zealand, and we’ve enjoyed creating tailor-made luxury New Zealand holidays for years now. This is a country seemingly designed entirely with luxury adventure in mind, and we can arrange pretty much every type of adrenaline-inducing luxury activity from sailing with America’s Cup winners around the beautiful Bay of Islands to heli-skiing in Queenstown and Wanaka. On the subject of choppers, New Zealand is heli-heaven, with a full range of activities made possible by the use of the finest heli charter outfits in the country. Try your hand at heli-fishing (trout fishing in remote rivers), heli-biking (taking choppers for awesome mountain bike descents) and more, or you could simply enjoy a scenic helicopter ride to admire New Zealand’s spectacular scenery. For a more sedate take on luxury New Zealand holidays, we can tailor-make a trip to include more exploration of the country’s remarkable Maori culture with top Maori guides, or add a gastronomic angle with private visits to some of New Zealand’s finest wineries and foodie producers.

"Everything from booking through to the trip itself went smoothly and we had a five-star experience overall. The Concierge service was excellent in Australia and, when there was a problem with the Yarra Valley tour, Rachel handled it quickly and efficiently. There were so many memorable moments, but the flight in the Bay of Islands and kayaking on Lake Taupo were both particular highlights of the trip."

"First of all the trip was amazing - it was a great way to see both islands, and an amazing experience. The South Island, Mt. Cook region and Milford Sound were particularly memorable moments. It was a very beautiful trip - for sure we will come back and travel with you again. "
