Educational Travel Experiences For Students

Defining Moments are specialists in providing educational group tours but with a difference.

A division of House of Travel Whangarei Limited. Since 2003 Defining Moments has been working with schools from throughout New Zealand providing unique curriculum related travel experiences for teachers and students alike. We believe in engaging teachers and students and helping them develop life-long skills and a passion for learning that extends well beyond the classroom. Teachers are the key to the success of overseas tour planning, but we recognise it requires high levels of time, commitment, and enthusiasm for this to be achieved. Defining Moments have developed and refined their programmes to ensure teachers get the high level of support and assistance required when planning international travel experiences. We specialise in travel experiences relevant to many of the subject choices within the curriculum. In particular we have developed very unique programmes in support of social science and language departments. If you are a teacher who has the passion and desire to create a life changing international experience for your students, then you need to talk to us.

We love hearing student feedback, especially when it captures those unforgettable travel moments. A recent visit to the Louvre was more than seeing famous artworks, it was a chance to connect with history, culture and creativity in a way that made it all feel real.

When you’re planning an overseas school tour, the last thing families need is an unexpected price increase because currency markets have moved.
That’s why our tour pricing is in NZD, and when your tour is confirmed, we secure the foreign currency needed for your trip. This helps protect your group from currency fluctuations and means there are no last-minute increases to your tour price due to exchange rate movements.
