Stephanie's Wonderful Family Holiday

Australia
27 Jan 2026

Our New Zealand trip was so much fun. Everything was easy and well organised. Nichole created the perfect itinerary for us and was friendly, informative, so helpful and easy to deal with. We had such a wonderful family holiday! Activities we loved: Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, Wellington Cable Car, Te Puia in Rotorua, Auckland Dolphin and Whale Safari and Auckland Sky Tower.
