Important Update

If you have travel plans booked with our team in the next few weeks, that may be affected by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, we will contact you directly if you haven’t heard from us already.

Please know that we are closely monitoring the situation and are staying connected with the airlines & suppliers to be able to support our travellers if needed with any cancellations and rescheduling.

We strongly recommend checking the latest travel advisories from the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade via the Safe Travel website https://www.safetravel.govt.nz/search?q=middle+east

As this is an evolving situation, airline and supplier policies are changing daily. Our travel experts are here to assist you in understanding relevant supplier policies and explore alternative travel options if you choose to adjust your plans.

We remain hopeful for a peaceful de-escalation soon

✨ Mānawatia a Matariki! ✨

As we celebrate the Māori New Year, our office will be closed over the Matariki public holiday weekend. We'll be taking this time to rest, reflect, and spend time with whānau.

We’ll be back on deck after the weekend and will respond to all enquiries then.

🌌 Matariki is more than a long weekend — it’s a time to honour the past, celebrate the present, and dream big for the year ahead.
