Having just arrived back in the office after a number of tours over the Christmas/New Year period, I thought it might be useful to give a general update to the travel community. Firstly - the doom and gloom of the financial crisis has largely passed us by.  New Zealanders have borrowed less than many others and are consequently hurting...

In my ongoing series showing people just what it is possible to expect from travel providers these days - here's something I'm working on at the moment. A US family approached me wanting 8 days in New Zealand based around taking special photographs.  They're highly technically proficient and the parents have been here before, landscapes...

Three short days ago I was privileged to spend some time with Wilkin River Jet, otherwise known as Inside New Zealand.  This small company of multi-talented individuals specialises in taking people beyond the normal tourist routes and deep into what those of us lucky enough to live here consider the "real New Zealand".  As...

This is a question I am often asked. What sets us apart from most tourism providers? Last week, on tour with our Brazilian clients, I answered it this way: Others send their clients on day trips which can be found in websites, can be purchased by anyone. Many of these are excellent, but they are trips designed specifically to fit as many...

Silver Pine is a special place.  The view from this small lodge is the closest thing we have seen to the view from a helicopter, the place is owner-hosted by a delightful couple, the food is excellent and the location fantastic. With only four rooms, Silver Pine is probably the smallest lodge we recommend.  Built high up on a ledge...

Yet all that we learned in class paled in comparison to the extracurricular activities, which included everything from horseback riding to a 300-foot waterfall, where we went abseiling (for the uninitiated, attaching yourself to both a guide and a rope and rappelling down the side of a mountain) to sky-diving from 12,000 feet, to zipping in a...

Huka Lodge was supreme, as was the Maori eco-tour we undertook in the Marlborough Sounds. The rafting in Queenstown and the helicopter to Mount Cook were favourites. Thank you for all your help.
