Discover a wilderness of Alaskan wonders

Alaska

Experience stunning natural treasures, awe-inspiring glaciers, mountains, and fascinating wildlife - Alaska is one of the world’s most spectacular destinations that has to be seen to be believed.

Given the unique geography, a cruise is one of the most comfortable ways to experience its’ kaleidoscope of sites. There are so many cruise options, from the intimate small ship experience with expert guides that get you closer to those dramatic glaciers and icy vistas to the larger ships that take you to more ports.

There’s nowhere else quite like this wild paradise, with its bears, whales, glaciers and endless unspoilt views. See it for yourself and take a journey you will never forget.

“Alaska will blow you away with its sheer scale and beauty. From bear viewing in the summer to the Northern Lights in the winter, you’re lucky no matter when you visit. ”

I have been in and out of the industry since the 80's I have lived in Australia, Canada, Italy and of course NZ.

I have travelled to some great places but there is still a huge number of countries on my wish list.

There is nothing better than being able to help someone when they are going to a new place...recommend a hotel, restaurant or activity and then have them return to say how much they enjoyed it all.

Travel is a passion for me, I have been in travel for quite some time (too long to remember) from Corporate to Leisure.

I aim to help people no matter what their plans are to create the best holiday experience possible. I enjoy being part of our travellers experience and making the whole process as easy as possible & to create fantastic memories that are special and will last a lifetime for themselves and their families.

I have travelled to some amazing places, but one stands out, the 6 months I spent working on Antarctica at McMurdo Station is a highlight & backpacking through India was a challenge.

From visiting the many aspects of Australia, Asia, South Africa & South America to basking in the sun on the Maldives or hitting the beaches and shopping in Thailand I would love to help you create some new stories & memories. I love active holidays and have followed the Moto GP / Formula 1 and the Isle of Man TT was particularly exciting. Followed by walking up on Mt Kinabalu was another eventful trip.

However, every great adventure starts with a plan, and I would be honoured to help you with that plan, whether you take the road less travelled or one of the many roads that lead to Rome.

I look forward to helping you to create more wonderful stories and memories in the coming years.

Rhonda
