Travel agency in Mount Maunganui

“We recently returned from an incredible trip to Europe, all expertly planned by Shelley at House of Travel. Every detail — from flights and accommodation to sightseeing and transfers — was meticulously organised, ensuring our holiday went smoothly and stress-free. Shelley’s experience, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. We felt completely confident knowing everything was taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel planner. Highly recommend Shelley for anyone wanting a seamless and memorable travel experience!”

“Mark and Denise were great to deal with! Awesome communication and punctual for the drop off and pick up of the cabin! The cabin was great and cosy and was our home for the last year!”

“Always a great experience booking your travels with Helloworld Mt Maunganui. They are very professional and so knowledgeable but there is also a relaxed friendly atmosphere in the 'office' which makes booking your travels much less stressful.”

“Great place to shop or grab coffee and a bite to eat at one of the many cafes or restaurants. Gusto has the best Eggs Benedict around and Luca is highly recommended for coffee, ask for Dimi, she'll sort all your coffee needs.”

“Lovely people. We have booked a Southland tour with them. Cant wait”

Rice Rice Baby runs with a simple, bistro‑style menu and an easy pace. Plates offer plenty without weighing things down. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Wait times are contained even when busy.

“The boat was awesome, the crew was lovely, and the organiser Amy is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. We’re definitely using this companies facilities in the near future!!”

“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.”

“Thank you so much Mike. Phoenix and his friends thoroughly enjoyed his birthday treat. Would absolutely recommend the 1 hour tour. A real adrenaline treat for 13 year olds and mum too”

“Went out on a charter for my birthday with a few friends and we had a fantastic experience. We caught as much fish as we could take home in just an hour! Alita and Tom surprised us with a cute lil cake and the big lunch they provided was delicious, especially the freshly caught fish that was fried up! After catching as much fish as we wanted, we anchored close to shore off an island, snorkelled, and harvested a few sea urchins to try(with some prompting and direction from Tom). We were also lucky enough to momentarily see dolphins alongside the boat! Overall a fantastic day out on the water with a very friendly crew who were knowledgeable and easy going. Thankyou Tom and Alita!”

“Just WOW! Such a cool experience. George was a great pilot, knew his stuff and handled the large chopper with skill. So nice to see our pretty city from a birds eye view. Feel very privileged to have had this experience. Would HIGHLY recommend it!”

“Re: Wai O Tapu Geothermal Wonderland Combo Tour A big thanks to Zealander Tours and our guide Stephen for providing such a great value-packed experience. We made the most of our time and covered a lot of ground during our cruise port visit.”

“Services are great! I use the school runs that Uzabus provide most days (After school obviously) and the drivers are very nice people, and the vibe is generally pretty chill, for the most part. I've also gotta tip my hat to the people who maintain the buses, because I've seen multiple buses in Uzabus' fleet that are very old, have over 1M km's on the odometer (I know of one with about 2.5M km on the odometer), or are one of a kind in the country. Good people, and probably very good mechanics.”

“We used Shore Trips and Tours to book 3 tours - 1 in Dunedin, 1 in Akaroa, and 1 in Tauranga (with an actual ST&T employee). We had no issues with an of our tours, instructions and contact info was clear and we had good communication with them in the months leading up to these tours. The tour that was actually through them was for Rotorua and Hobbiton in Tauranga and was great! Our guide (Mark?) Gave us some info as we went from place to place, made sure we stayed fed and on time, and got us back to our ship with time to spare! Will use to book tours again if we are in NZ again!”

“Travelled with Phil and did the Everest Trek. Both my son and I loved it and made amazing memories. The trip was well organized and well planned. We did not have to do any planning other then getting ourselves into and out of Nepal. Everything else was sorted from the hotels, taxis and helicopters. Thanks for the amazing memories…..”

“We had a wonderful tour experience with Toby today. Everything was above and beyond. Toby was very knowledgeable and personable and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend. Not to mention the dog petting fix!!! Thanks Toby”

“Friendly service and loved the new coaches”

“I was tentatively excited about this trip as it wasn't my first choice for excursions, but I compromised with my partner, who is a huge fan of LOTR to go on this trip. I ended up having a fantastic time and enjoyed the overall experience so much more than I expected. Our driver, Saskia, was delightful and chatty providing us with interesting background on the country as we drove the few hours to and from Hobbiton. Our Hobbiton tour itself was absolutely delightful and the meat pies at the Green Dragon are a must try!”

“Had a Hobbiton tour refunded with no issues as the Port was closed due to bad weather.”

“We had an Incredible day out with amazing Kathrine. We are locals and were blowen away by some of the places we didnt even know were out our doorstep. The food was exceptional as was our host. I would highly reccommed this.”
