Internships in New Zealand        

Each year we take a small number of interns for terms of 6 months or longer, and provide them with experience in working with a New Zealand adventure travel company.

For those lucky enough to be involved in the program it's an opportunity to learn a lot about a busy and exciting company, plus combine that experience with the opportunity to travel before or after their internship period.

We currently have vacancies for interns from early 2009.

Description of internship positions
As an intern you'll experience a variety of roles. There is obviously a lot to learn, but it will include assisting with the preparation of client itineraries (arranging the itineraries, bookings, documentation), researching new product, and assisting with administrative roles such as accounting and payment processes.

It is important that all interns:

• are familiar with Internet, Word, Excel
• have very good typing skills
• be fluent in English (writing and speaking)
• be open-minded and, of course, interested in travel

It is also advantageous if you are multi-lingual.

Our Office

We are located in central Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand and a great place to live!

Accommodation

Accommodation is easy to find. You can have a look on the Internet or search in the newspapers here. You should expect to pay NZ$100 - NZ$160 per week for a room in an apartment or shared house. There is plenty of accommodation in the central city and along public transport routes, so there's no need for you to worry about having your own vehicle.

Visa

You will need to apply for an internship visa at the New Zealand Embassy in your country. For more information see http://www.immigration.govt.nz/work/.
