New Zealand Travel Agent Specialist

Located in the South Pacific Ocean and is the southernmost part of Polynesia. New Zealand comprises of two main islands, North and South, as well as several small islands. Scenic beauty is everywhere from the active volcanoes, spectacular caves, and deep glacier lakes to the verdant valleys, dazzling fjords, snow capped mountainous peaks, and long sandy beaches. 


There is an endless amount of things to do and see across New Zealand. A top choice is the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour to see where Lord of the Rings was filmed. There are many tours from a couple days to 15 plus days touring all the locations of the LOTR films from the North Island to the South Island. There are numerous things to do such as hiking, biking, rafting, and cruises. New Zealand has a very unique and beautiful culture, there is a wide array of heritage and cultural experiences everywhere you go. 


Lastly, New Zealand has some of the best food you'll ever have. They have crayfish and seafood dishes that are out of this world. Hangi is a traditional Maori food served for only special occasions that is cooked in the ground and consists of meat and vegetables. You will find several restaurants and bars throughout both main islands. While you are at it you need to try their famous Kiwi Burger which you can find at multiple locations across Auckland.

Best Colorado ski trip!
I was completely unaware of how many ski resorts are in Colorado. They all vary is skill level as well as price and distance. It was extremely overwhelming for me to plan my trip for my family as I had never been to Colorado before and wanted to experience the winter mountain ski resorts. She recommended the best area for my budget and got my family an amazing place to stay and recommended other activities for us to do. She suggested we stay in Frisco so we had access to Keystone, Breckenridge, and A-Basin ski areas for the entire week we stayed. She also recommended the tubing in Keystone which was a blast for my kids. I'd recommend her to family and friends. Will definitely book with her again.

Booked the best family vacation!
Tara planned a family trip to the Great Sand Dunes for myself and my son! She was able to find the perfect campground for us that was situated close to the park that had cabins that were cozy and comfortable. She was very detailed in finding us activities such as the alligator farm and sand surfing rentals for my son. She is extremely thorough and spent extra time answering all my questions!
