New Zealand Travel Specialists

New Zealand Travel Specialists

We are a UK-based tour operator with specialist knowledge in destinations across the world, including New Zealand. When researching a trip to New Zealand, there are some obvious hot spots such as adrenaline-junkie-paradise Queenstown; vibrant Auckland; wine-focussed Marlborough and (every Lord of the Rings fan’s dream) the town of Matamata where you’ll find Hobbiton come to life. As a New Zealand tour operator, we can make sure your lengthy flight across the world is well worth the effort. Our travel specialists can create a tailor-made itinerary that goes beyond the obvious to show you some
of the lesser-known but equally wonderful destinations across the North and South Islands. Whether you want to experience Maori culture and learn about the country’s history in an immersive experience; get a new perspective on these otherworldly landscapes in a helicopter ride; get your adrenaline pumping in the land of extreme sports; or take a slow and easy road-trip stopping off at whichever nooks and crannies take your fancy, with luxury accommodation and activities strategically planned along the way. We can help you plan it all.

Why do you love New Zealand so much?
Honestly, New Zealand is just home — and there's nowhere else like it. The scenery alone is reason enough to love it – there’s mountains, beaches, fjords and volcanoes all crammed into one small country. But it's not just that. It's the people, the laid-back vibe, the way Maori culture gives the place a real identity and soul. Growing up there means spending your weekends outdoors, never taking the nature for granted and being part of a community that's genuinely warm and unpretentious. It's a small country but it's got a massive heart.

When did you first visit New Zealand and what was your first impression?
I was born there!
