Testimonials

We wanted a memorable and distinct vacation (not just a regular tour) - and that is exactly what Aotearoa Adventures organized for us!

Our travel planner actually grew up in New Zealand and visits both New Zealand and Australia regularly - there was hardly a place we wanted to visit that she had not been. She took the time to discuss all available options and found out exactly what kind of vacation we wanted. We were thrilled with such personalized service.

The creativity in combining numerous tours in order to make a cohesive trip was great logistics. Having an extended team of local contacts Down Under was most helpful. Having someone greet us upon arrival in New Zealand and Australia to go through our itinerary and provide all the vouchers was very nice, but even more valuable was having local people (Aotearoa Adventures staff) there to help us reorganize when circumstances beyond anybody's control - heavy rains in Cairns - made our scheduled travel, tours, and accommodation impossible. Had I booked stuff myself through the Internet it would have been an ordeal to rearrange everything.

We had a fantastic vacation thanks to Aotearoa Adventures!

We used Aotearoa Adventures to plan our trip to Australia/New Zealand because of their deep knowledge of both countries. Not wanting a standard organized coach tour, I provided a list of places I wanted to visit and they came back with a detailed itinerary that hit all my requirements and included other must-sees within a tight timeframe. It was an ambitious schedule, but the trip went like clockwork. The Australian and New Zealand counterparts met us when we arrived and provided all the vouchers and maps we needed, as well as local contact numbers for the occasional hiccup (like a lost voucher for our final night’s stay.)

We had a terrific holiday, with a real mix of activities and travelling modes, and the headaches of planning it were someone else’s, not mine!
