FAQs About Visiting New Zealand

New Zealanders (aka Kiwis) are generally known to be a warm, welcoming, and relaxed people, with a dry sense of humor and laid-back approach to life. Kiwis are very polite always using "please" and "thank you".

The local Māori culture has a concept called “Manaakitanga” which has become a core part of New Zealanders’ ethos. It embodies looking after people (particularly guests) with generosity, respect, and warmth, providing physical, emotional and even spiritual support.

The distances may look short on the map, though due to the terrain, getting from A to B can take longer than you’d expect. The good news is we have created our itineraries with no more than 2-3 hours of travel time per day – and we are dedicated to making sure there are no dull moments! On our tours getting from one highlight to the next will be interspersed with stops along the way for short hikes and excursions to even more scenic spots. We ensure your time here in New Zealand is maximized with the right balance of fun, relaxation, and seeing and experiencing new things.

There are too many highlights of New Zealand to list, from breathtaking Milford Sound and awe-inspiring Aoraki Mount Cook, in the South Island, to the North Island’s volcanic Central Plateau, New Zealand’s diverse landscapes make it a beautifully packaged destination. Our guided tours ensure you see all the “Greatest Hits” of New Zealand with everything taken care of for you. However, you won’t just “see” all the highlights of New Zealand, you’ll experience them via fun adventure activities to gain a different perspective, away from the usual tourist traps.

On our trips, we take care of everything from start to finish, so you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery without the stress of navigating maps or negotiating the roads.

Flights from Australia to New Zealand are frequent, with major routes connecting cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth to Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Airlines such as Air New Zealand, Qantas, and Jetstar offer direct flights, making travel between the two countries quick and convenient, with flight times typically around 3 hours from Australia’s East Coast.
