About Me

Arthur's Pass National Park - New Zealand
Arthur's Pass National Park - New Zealand

Kia Ora !  Welcome to New Zealand, one of the most magnificent countries on this planet. Indulge in volcanoes, bubbling mud pools and shooting geysers, lazing on idyllic islands and exploring exciting metropolises in the North Island; whilst the South Island is home to 10 of New Zealand's 14 national parks, jaw-dropping alpine scenery, icy glaciers and fun wildlife experiences.New Zealand has some of the greatest scenic drives in the world.

New Zealand is set like a remote jewel in the blue waters of the southwest Pacific Ocean. Colonial British and local Maori cultures live side by side and the proud history of each is showcased throughout this beautiful country. Marvel at the unspoiled landscape of snow-capped mountains, sheer falling fjords, rolling meadows, picturesque bays and stretches of wild beaches.The country is composed of two main islands.

 

The North Island is best known for the geothermal wonders of Rotorua and the clear waters of the Bay of Islands, but also offers insights into the rich and rewarding Maori culture. Explore the Art Deco town of Napier close to the wine region of Hawkes Bay. Wellington is the capital of the country and has a wonderful museum celebrating the history, art and culture of New Zealand. Crossing over to the South Island, visit Christchurch where you can punt in true English fashion along the Avon River or try swimming with the dolphins at Akaroa. Some of the world’s most peaceful retreats are found in the South Island but if that’s not for you, there is excitement in Queenstown – the adventure capital of the world, home to bungy jumping, sky diving and canyon swinging. There is also the chance to explore farmlands, fjords and national parks where nature rules and glacial valleys glide gently and quietly into the sea. Accommodation throughout New Zealand is of an excellent standard from luxury lodges to private islands with beaches. While you may at times have to share the road with a flock of sheep, it will be hard not to be distracted by the dramatic scenery unfolding before you. To top it all off, world renowned wines and fine dining are available wherever you go.

 

If you can dream it, you can do it...Let me turn that dream into a reality!!

Rock Star Advisor!
Reviewed By Nervous Nellie - Delray Beach, FL | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Izzy is amazing. His attention to detail and his ability to anticipate my questions and concerns helped me to relax and really enjoy the process of planning the perfect holiday. I tend to be a bit neurotic and a control freak so working with someone who gets me and listens to me is really important. Izzy knows his stuff!

Can't wait to return to New Zealand!
Reviewed By Coach Dave - Saratoga, CA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Izzy and I spent weeks planning a dream trip to New Zealand. I told him we wanted the best and gave him an itinerary of what areas we wanted to visit. Izzy took it from there and arranged flights, limo transfers and also got us into the best accommodations imaginable. And he made one great suggestion: we needed to go to Huka Lodge. I hadn't heard of this place but said OK, let's do it. It turned out to be the favorite place we visited during the two weeks.
