WE PLAN. YOU EXPLORE.
Craving a New Zealand adventure but short on time or unsure where to go? Let us surprise you!
At Great Kiwi Trips, we create unforgettable travel experiences across New Zealand tailored just for you called a Surprise Kiwi Adventure.
Simply fill out a quick survey and set your budget. We handle all the planning—travel, accommodations, activities—while keeping your destination a delightful secret.
Effortless Planning, Maximum Fun
1. Discover Your 'Travel Personality'
Kick things off by taking our fun pre-trip survey to reveal your Travel Personality.
We need:
Your budget (for travel, accommodation, and at least one activity per day)
Your travel dates
Travel preferences
Personal interests and likes
Personal information
Recent or upcoming destinations (so we don’t send you there!)
2. Sit Back and Relax
The magic of our Surprise Trips? You leave the planning to us. Our Travel Designers will craft a customized experience within your budget, based on your Travel Personality. Once you’ve completed the Pre-Trip Survey, just relax—we’re busy planning your amazing getaway packed with exciting surprises!
3. Countdown to Adventure
A week before your trip, you’ll get an email with:
Packing tips (e.g., don’t forget your swimwear and hiking boots)
Luggage size guidelines
Departure details (e.g., Wellington Airport, Friday at 10:30 AM)
On-trip support info via phone, text, email, and WhatsApp
4. The Big Reveal
On departure day, head to the specified location at the given time and send us a ‘selfie’ to unlock your surprise! (Camera shy? Other photos showing your location are fine too).
Your selfie will reveal a digital itinerary with a unique link to your trip details and a printable document for easy reference. Enjoy curated recommendations for everything from cafes to nightlife, so you’re always in the loop!
5. Embrace the Adventure
Follow your itinerary and dive into a trip designed just for you!
