Our favourite Active Holiday experiences

Discover a different Australia

If you like your holidays with a bit of heart-pumping adventure, Australia delivers in spades. Cycle through world-class wine regions, coastlines and countryside on a guided bike tour, where every trail comes with views (and often, vineyard stops).

Lace up your boots for the Great Walks of Australia – from the rugged wilderness of Tasmania’s Bay of Fires to the dramatic coastline of the 12 Apostles. These guided multi-day hikes combine nature, comfort, and cultural connection in equal measure.

Pack the clubs and tee off on one of the Great Golf Courses of Australia, playing championship greens set against dramatic coastal cliffs, desert backdrops or rolling fairways.

Whether you’re chasing challenge or just looking to move a little more while you explore, Australia’s wide-open spaces and legendary landscapes are ready when you are.

My travel journey began with a solo adventure to New York at 21-and I've been hooked ever since! Fast forward a few years and I've had the absolute joy of exploring over 20 countries.

From wandering through ancient cities to tasting street food in hidden alleyways, I thrive on discovering new places, flavours, and cultures. 

I found my way into the travel industry while searching for a career that truly lit me up-and I've never looked back. 

Today, I get to turn wanderlust into reality by crafting unforgettable holidays for our local community and curious travellers from all over the world.

Planning a trip should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I'm here to take the stress out of travel and help you design a getaway that's as unique and joyful as you are. 

Got ideas? Let's dream big and make it happen-together!

Travel -it broadens our views, creates lasting memories and allows you to take a break from the ordinary.

In recent years, I have taken to much more adventurous travel, heading to Central Asia and exploring Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, exploring much of Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Shanghai and looking forward to our next adventures in Africa.

I love travelling with my family and seeing my teenage girls minds blown by the experiences they have in different countries - different ways of living, different foods, different cultures, amazing sites (and sights!) and really seeing what is important to other people outside of NZ.

I love hearing about the epic adventures people have planned and love helping pull things together to give you your Best Holiday Ever. Give me a call or send me an email to get started on your next journey.
