Kia’ora
We have a couple of Kiwi’s in the office including the boss, an ex teacher from New Zealand. Other staff have travelled extensively throughout New Zealand.
When the New Zealand Tourism Board operated the KEA (Kiwi Expert Agent) programme we were invited on-board as one the inaugural Australian members and subsequently won the prestigious KEA of the year award on 2 occasions.
The following areas form the majority of interest from Australian schools.
•Geographical, geological and natural history
•Sport
•Outdoor education including skiing
•Music – performing concert tours
Using our knowledge of New Zealand we can create itineraries designed to extract the maximum for your groups benefit.
