Your Dream New Zealand Trip Tailored Just for You

Planning your dream trip to New Zealand can feel overwhelming.
So many incredible places and activities to do in this beautiful country - where do you even start?

That’s where I come in.

With a custom itinerary tailored to your interests and goals, you get a travel plan designed just for you. Whether you want hikes with breath taking views,  family friendly fun, seeing the beautiful lupine flowers or go on a relaxing lake cruise, I craft your ideal trip with my tailored suggestions, so you can focus on making memories, not stressing over trying to find everything you want to do.

Why choose a custom itinerary?
  • Tailored to you: Hiking on a glacier, swimming in clear blue water, photography spots or a family trip - your itinerary matches what YOU love.
  • Save time & avoid stress: No more endless research. Get a ready made plan that’s easy to follow.
  • Insider local knowledge: Discover hidden gems and authentic Kiwi experiences you won’t find in guidebooks.
  • Flexible & personal: You get one chance to request tweaks or clarifications so your itinerary is perfect for you.
  • Accessible anytime: Download your itinerary as a PDF to use offline, wherever your adventure takes you!

The bottom line: A custom itinerary helps make your New Zealand trip smoother and more enjoyable. You’ll have a clear plan, insider tips, and suggestions tailored to you — so you can focus on exploring and making memories.

Important info

  • All of my recommendations are independent, based on real experiences and research. I have been exploring and researching New Zealand for many years (as well as living here my whole life!) and I do my best to explore all the best that New Zealand has to offer. If I haven't been to an area, I do as much research as I can for you, so you get the best experience there.
  • I'm not a travel agent which means I don't book anything for. You’ll receive links so that you can book directly with the providers when you're ready but any bookings, tickets or reservations are your responsibility.
  • The itinerary includes a suggested plan for each day but I don’t create detailed hour by hour schedules. You’ll have flexibility to adjust each day’s activities to suit your pace.
  • My personalised itineraries are best suited for groups of up to six people. Travelling with more? No problem, send me a quick message and I’ll put together a custom quote.
  • The review is based on one shared itinerary for the group, with everyone enjoying the same experiences and activities.
  • Before I can create your personalised itinerary, please have your travel route and total trip length confirmed.

Ready to Start Your Adventure?

Just a reminder... Before I can create your itinerary, please let me know your start and end points, for example Christchurch to Queenstown, and how long you’ll be travelling for. I’ll then create a plan for the highlights along the way.​

Want to Know More?

❓ What information do you need from me to create a custom itinerary?
I’ll need as many details as possible about your trip, including your interests, travel preferences, must see destinations, type of accommodation and preferred activities. You’ll fill out Google Form to provide this information.

❓ Can I make changes to my itinerary after it’s been created?
Yes! After receiving your itinerary, you can request one revision to make changes based on your preferences. 

❓ What if I don’t like some of the suggestions in the itinerary?
If there’s something you’d like adjusted, you’ll have one chance to request tweaks or clarifications after receiving your itinerary. After that, the itinerary will be final.
❓ What recommendations do you provide?
I’ll provide options for accommodation, activities, walks, lookouts photo spots, beaches, lakes and even some cafes. All options that align with your interests and goals for the trip.
❓ Will you book flights, hotels, or activities for me?
No, I do not handle bookings. I’ll provide suggestions and links (for activities & accommodation) to make booking easy for you, but you need to make the bookings yourself and this is 100% your responsibility.

❓ How detailed is the custom itinerary? Does it include daily schedules?
The itinerary includes a suggested plan for each day, but I don’t create detailed hour-by-hour schedules. You’ll have flexibility to adjust each day’s activities to suit your pace.

❓ What if I want to make more changes to my itinerary after the final revision?
If you’d like to make more changes after the final itinerary, I can assist with another revision but this may incur an additional cost. This is why I offer one revision so that you can have a read over the itinerary and make any changes.

❓ Do you offer services for solo travellers, couples, families and groups?
Yes, I offer custom itineraries for solo travellers, couples, families, and groups. For groups larger than 6 people, there is an extra fee, please get in touch before filling out the form.

❓ What destinations in New Zealand do you cover?
Whilst I am a South Island expert, I do cover destinations all across New Zealand, including well known spots and hidden gems off the beaten path.

❓ When should I start planning my trip?
Ideally, begin planning at least 6 months in advance. This gives you plenty of time to research, make adjustments and secure your preferred activities and accommodations without missing out.​ Of course, start planning even further in advance if possible!

❓ If I cancel my trip, can I get a refund?
No. My custom itineraries are a digital service created just for you and they’re non refundable once delivered. A lot of time, research and planning goes into each itinerary, which is why refunds aren’t possible. If your trip is cancelled or postponed, you’ll still be able to use the itinerary at a later date.
❓ How long does it take to receive my custom itinerary?
It typically takes 7-10 days to create and send your custom itinerary, depending on the complexity and length of your trip.
Still have more questions?
