Custom Trip Planning Services

You tell us your dates of travel, share your interests, ideas and special locations and we will create a detailed itinerary. We are a fee-for-service business so all costs are completely transparent. There are no mark-ups, commissions or mandatory package tours. Our service eliminates the middle-man and books directly with the service provider, the hotel, Airbnb, tour guide, car, bike or kayak rental company, cafe, and babysitter. We will sift through the many choices, and do the investigation work for you. You want to see only the highlights, but want memorable, unique experiences that immerse you into the culture. We help you do both so that you can make the most of your New Zealand vacation.

Food & Wine

We will also recommend and book delicious meat-lover, seafood and plant-based restaurants, cafes, wine tastings and tours, and local farm-table experiences. We’ll even give you our favorite coffee shop, sweet treat, and must-try local delicacy suggestions.
