Why Choose Us?

Local Expertise

Experience New Zealand Like a Local

At Great Kiwi Trips, we don’t just plan holidays – we share the New Zealand we know and love. From quiet mountain trails to the cafés where locals queue for the perfect flat white, we’ll help you explore the hidden corners, big adventures, and small surprises that make this country unforgettable.

Personalised Itineraries

Your Adventure, Your Way

We know every traveller marches to their own drum – so instead of fixed packages, we’ve built a collection of destination guides packed with local tips, favourite spots, and real Kiwi moments. Explore what inspires you, share your travel style through our survey, and we’ll stitch it all together into a trip that fits you perfectly. Epic hikes, secret beaches, lazy vineyard afternoons  we’ll help you colour in your own map of New Zealand.

Immersive Experiences

Go Beyond the Tourist Trail

We know the corners of New Zealand that don’t make the guidebooks. From quirky local cafés to hidden beaches and mountain trails where you might be the only one around, we’ll help you uncover the real Aotearoa - the side only locals truly know.

Seamless Travel Planning

Hassle-Free Adventure Awaits

Let us sweat the small stuff – the hotels, the bookings, the maps – so you can do the fun stuff: spot a kiwi in the wild, grab a pie from the café everyone raves about, or drive that secret coastal road. We’ve got your back, and your boots, every step of the way.

Genuine Kiwi Hospitality

A Warm Welcome Awaits You

At Great Kiwi Trips, we’re all about the friendly hellos and local tips you won’t find in a guidebook. From sharing a laugh with a vineyard owner to pointing out the best secret lookout on a hike, we’ll make sure you feel like part of the Kiwi family - the kind that shows you the country they love.
