About Great Kiwi Trips

Kia ora! Welcome to Great Kiwi Trips. We’re a premier travel design company based in New Zealand, dedicated to creating authentic and immersive experiences that capture the essence of Aotearoa.

A person forms a heart shape with their hands, set against the serene backdrop of the tranquil waters of the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand.

Our Mission

At Great Kiwi Trips, our mission is to craft journeys that blend New Zealand’s iconic sights with hidden gems and local experiences. We believe that travel should be a deeply personal experience, tailored to reflect each traveler’s interests and desires. Our aim is to provide you with a connection to New Zealand that is both genuine and unforgettable.


Our Values

  • Personalisation: We focus on highly customised trip planning, working closely with you to design an itinerary that perfectly matches your travel style and preferences.

  • Cultural Immersion: We are committed to showcasing not only the well-known attractions but also the lesser-known treasures of our culture and landscapes.

  • Local Expertise: Our deep Kiwi heritage and extensive local knowledge allow us to offer insights and experiences that only a true local can provide.

  • Respect for Nature: Guided by the principles of tiaki—care and respect for the land and its people—we strive to ensure that our travels leave a positive impact on the environment and communities we visit.
