Meet the directors

‘I love what we do, from beginning to end. Learning & understanding what makes our clients tick & starting every itinerary with a blank canvas is always a highlight.  I also get a kick out of ensuring every detail has been attended to as well as knowing we are creating some incredible connections for our clients along the way.”

Testimonials

Read our testimonials page or better still we’ll put you in touch with someone (from your country if possible) who’s travelled with us. No two travellers are alike and we understand this. Our itinerary planning service includes “one off experiences” that are extraordinary, however we’re also realistic when it comes to travel budgets. This is why all of our proposals are uniquely matched to you and your South Pacific travel budget.

Justin & Heidi Nelson - Texas, USA

They were on point from the initial planning of our honeymoon, through our departure back home. The team never missed a beat as we had to change destinations only months prior to the trip, and were the first to contact us and give us our options when a flight was cancelled mid trip. Luxury Adventures will definitely be our first call and our only recommendation for any international adventures.

Luli Pesqueira - Mexico

If your planning a trip to New Zealand and would like to get tailored recommendations and help with booking your favourite activities, do not hesitate to contact Luxury Adventures. They helped us to plan our honeymoon and were extremely helpful in arranging our bookings and transportation, always incorporating our wishes and providing us with helpful guidance from planning to completion of our trip. Luli & Alfonso, Mexico

Monica Ryan - Hawaii, USA

From my initial online inquiry to the confirmed planned itinerary, to the availability of staff to answer all my questions (even on weekends and outside normal work hours), our entire trip (with the exception of Air New Zealand flights) went smoothly. We even got a text from them on the day we arrived. They went above and beyond answering my questions and coordinating some flight changes that came up.

Luxury Adventures is a fabulous organisation and their advice enabled us to sample the best of what New Zealand has to offer in our limited time frame. The attention to detail was impressive and it was exactly as we requested. The hotels were small, personal and of the highest quality – and great fun. All in all, it far exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend Luxury Adventures to anyone.

Helen & Alan Berry - NSW, Australia

The team at Luxury Adventures has perfected the art of planning amazing and memorable holidays with even the smallest detail taken care of. Having them plan our itinerary and make all of our bookings for our trip has been the best thing that we have ever done. It certainly makes it so easy to go on holidays and have everything run smoothly (a bit like having a guardian angel watching over you)!

I can’t say enough good things about Dee and Luxury Adventures. With only a month to plan, Dee completely understood what type of trip we were hoping to have and she made it all happen seamlessly, from the rental car to the hotels to the tours and just general information and advice about every area we visited. She was even spot on with the restaurant recommendations! It was a very memorable trip and within the budget we gave her. Would use them again and highly recommend!!
