Travel agency in New Zealand

“Tania is an Absolute Superstar! We cannot thank Tania enough for everything she did to help us with our wedding travel plans. From the moment we started planning, she was totally on to it—organising a large group booking for our wedding in Rarotonga, and then helping us seamlessly transition to our honeymoon in Aitutaki. Tania kept us completely in the loop the entire time, answered every question quickly, and made sure everything was stress-free and smooth—no small task when dealing with a big group! Her attention to detail was amazing, and nothing was ever a problem. On top of all that, her personality is freaking amazing. She’s warm, fun, supportive, and truly a joy to work with. Planning travel can be overwhelming, but Tania made it feel exciting and effortless. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who genuinely goes above and beyond! Chantel and Mike”

“We took our 18-month-old twins and they absolutely loved it. The interaction with the animals was fantastic, especially being able to feed them. It was a lovely walk around the park and very stroller-friendly, which made the visit easy and enjoyable. A great day out for families with young children — we’ll definitely be back.”

“Had a great time there. We would like to give a big shout out to Marie who was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. A great asset to your company. Would throughly recommend to anyone! A+++”

“Incredible work by the OPERA! During our tour they explained us how they started it and they work towards the conservation of penguins and andemic wildlife in general. It goes from replanting trees to having a rehabilitation center for yellow eyed penguins. It is a great location if you want to spot little blue penguins, fur seals and sea lions without bothering them. And because of the rehabilitation center you have the chance to be close to yellow eyed penguins as well.”

“I treated myself to a trip on The Stargazer from Dunedin to Hindon and back. The trip didn't disappoint, from arrival where staff from Tuhura Museum helped everyone get their stargazing apps up and running to getting off at the end. Precinct at the Tuhura Museum provided us with a great tasty 3 course meal. It was much appreciated by everyone from the comments I could hear from the seats around me. The lamb was magnificent and went well with my glass of wine. Once we arrived at Hindon, they divided us into 3 groups, and we attended the different workshops on offer. My favorite was looking through the telescopes provided by The Beverly Begg Observatory. It was pretty special getting a close-up look at our celestial neighbors. Much kudos to them as they had been waiting up there in the cold for us all to arrive in our warm and comfortable train. I keep thinking about the beautiful Jewellry Box constellation with all the different colours. I'm now looking at the night sky differently. Thank you to all who took part in teaching us about our skies. Finally, sated and tired, we hopped back on our warm train to travel home. But they weren't finished with us yet. On the way home,we got to listen to astrophysicist Michelle Thaller answer questions that we had put to her earlier. She covered everything from going to Mars, Aurora, and pineapple on pizza. She has a great way of putting information that sticks with you and is fun. It was a fantastic night, and if you have the opportunity to go on this trip, I couldn't recommend it to you highly enough. Just go and enjoy a great evening adventure.”

“What a great experience. Such a beautiful scene. We went with baby, so did not attempt the walk ways. We walked accross the beach during low tide and went up to the museum. Will definitely head back once baby is a bit older to complete the routes.”

“Beautiful reserve that we came by accidentally. Two lovely waterfalls with a steep walk to/from and around 100 steps. Great picnic areas and a toilet”

“Awesome experience. It’s great to walk around and see all the art and animals. Great views of the Kaipara as well. Keep an eye out for charities selling tickets.”

“Excellent, Hassle-Free Experience! I had an excellent experience with Gill Travel. The entire process was completely hassle-free, and they provided a very competitive price. A special thanks to Shilpa for her outstanding customer service—she was helpful, professional, and made planning easy. Highly recommend!”

“The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, also known as "The Bait House", is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast. As well as there being lots of different sea creatures on display (including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, crayfish, turtles, a grumpy blue cod to name a few) you can also handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found un the touch pools. There is far more inside than you would expect from the outside and the volunteers whi wirk there are very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced ($5 for adults, $2 per child) and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.”

“OUTSTANDING ! We went to Jo with a simple plan .She put together the most amazing affordable 20 day trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Coordinating flights, boat cruises, accommodation and transport We experienced the best service, most friendly people. Great food, accommodation and knowledgeable guides .Highly recommend House of Travel Kapiti for exceptional personalised planning.”

“Great cozy & secluded venue. Regular live music. Quality. Great service. Very welcoming.”

“A magical place! I climb up carrying my toddler in my hiking carrier. There are quite a few steps but it's not difficult. Hour round trip with a snack and a break to soak in the 360 view up the top. Well worth it. 30 mins drive from central Hamilton. Will return again soon ❤️”

“Lovely farm which is well maintained, animals are all very healthy, friendly staff, overall very good experience and would recommend to all ages ☺️☺️”

“We are group of 16, 9A and 7C. Emma Rose Trent are the most professional patient fun guides we can ask for! We had absolutely blast!!!!!! The bonfire on the riverside and kayaking along the glow worms were beyond our expectation. Definitely recommend!”

“Business like, helpful, respectful assistance. Nice atmosphere. Open plan yet seating and display allowed for some privacy. Achieved what we went for.”

“Amazing "lavender-everything" shop, super friendly and enthusiastic owner. We got there just as the lavender was going over but it was a great little place to stumble on along our drive. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.”

“We did the guided walking tour around Napier’s art deco buildings run by a volunteer from the Art Deco Trust. You need to pre book your places on the tour. It was easy walking, went for about an hour and a half, they provide you with a head set so you can listen to your guide. Great stories, wonderful insights about the city, especially the earthquake history. I’d highly recommend the tour.”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“Just did the 24 day kea tour with Leon and I can positively say it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I've done several bucket list activities such as Bungie jumping and skydiving to a Heli hike and the tongariro alpine crossing. Our tour guide Leon very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and was just fantastic all around. For the price of the tour, no other tour company I've seen comes anywhere near what Stray offered me. I would travel with them again in a heartbeat, would give more than 5 stars if I could”

“Great lookout with easy access and gorgeous views over Kapiti Coast and Kapiti Island. The forest loop track has lots of info boards which help to keep kids entertained while discovering the forest birds and insects. Upd. What I really like about this reserve is that every path is so different. There are heaps of hidden gems like giant totara or kid-size bench, weta boxes in the bush and cool look-outs. Hit the track and enjoy!”

“I did The Epic NZ tour for 23 days and it was the best decision I could make! We had awesome Lizzie as a guide the whole time, who was extremely knowledgeable and funny. Heaps of extra activities for everyone. HAKA tours is one of the best way how to explore NZ if you don't have much time! Maybe it's little bit more expensive BUT worth every single penny! I would highly recommend them and would do a tour with them again! I had simply EPIC time on EPIC Island(s).”

“This is a fantastic experience we went for an end of year Christmas event, it’s been a tough year so we wanted to do something a little bit different and it was. There is something for everyone and we escaped the serial killer finally”

“This is a pretty little urban lake with plenty of free parking so you can enjoy the loop track and walk around the whole lake!”

“Great experience booking Auckland Scenic Tours for the trip to Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves. Tim, our guide, was the real MVP! Best guide ever. We had a terrific day, 10/10 would recommend!”

“Easy walk to a nice dam - kid friendly. Mountain buggy ok. New bridge open now.”

“Angela worked quickly and efficiently to provide us with options for our planned flights. We were then able to make firm decisions from all the information she gave us.”

“Logan was very good at leading the tour and the whole thing was just very impressive and made me really proud to be a kiwi. We really have some amazing people in this little country or ours”

“WOW. Amber is living every animal lovers dream, and has the kindness to share her world with others. We loved the little lambies so much I wanted to take one home. You can tell Amber loves her animals, and has great knowledge of their needs. I would give this place more stars if I could. Thank you for such a great experience!!! Feeding all the lambs was our favorite thing!!!”

“We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.”
