Custom Travel Itineraries to New Zealand since 1990
We’ve all seen the images of Europe this past summer and Japan: bustling tourist spots, long lines, and a sense of being overwhelmed. This has us thinking, while New Zealand offers incredible natural beauty, it’s easy for first time visitors to get caught up in the popular tourist destinations everyone reads about time and time again on travel blogs which cover the world.
And while we understand that for some there are “must-see” locations in New Zealand, where our team of experts truly can help you is pivoting away and not just following the crowd. Consider a different approach to New Zealand and imagine hiking through a secluded rainforest, kayaking on a pristine lake, or experiencing the Maori culture firsthand. Authentic experiences can be just as rewarding, if not more so, than the typical tourist attractions and we invite you to consider our expertise on your next holiday!
Here are a couple of tips that may help you think about your next trip.
Too many times people visit New Zealand as a “bucket list” location. They never see themselves returning and plan to check off so much in a short amount of time!
Our advice is instead of rushing from one famous spot to the next, immerse yourself in the New Zealand culture. Appreciate the breathtaking landscapes, the friendly locals, and the unique traditions of this country!
Moving so quickly that you see New Zealand from the inside of a car window will not mean much in the end. Photos on your phone fade much more quickly than the memories you can create and cherish in your soul!
While iconic destinations like Milford Sound and Queenstown are worth visiting, don’t overlook the hidden gems. Explore smaller towns, hike lesser-known trails, and discover local markets.
At certain times of the year it may make sense to stay out of Queenstown and use it for a day trip. think about it: nobody goes to New Zealand to be closer to people! We travel there to be closer with nature and to share the experience with our loved ones and friends. Sure, meeting Kiwis is incredible and memorable, but that is done best where you can connect in less frantic settings.
A mistake some make while traveling is over-scheduling activities. This may look like a lot of fun on paper, but our team specifically leaves space in your calendar.
Spontaneity and unexpected encounters are the little surprises that help create our memories. So our advice is to let go of the rigid itinerary and embrace the adventure.
