Noemie Botha
Originally from Switzerland, I’ve been lucky to call New Zealand home since 2017. I specialize in creating bespoke self-drive tours tailored to your interests, helping you discover the best of Aotearoa at your own pace. Like many, I was captivated by New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes and the genuine warmth of its people. My goal is to share that same unforgettable experience with you—crafting a journey that’s not only seamless but truly memorable.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Customized self-drive tours across New Zealand, featuring wildlife encounters, romantic getaways, off-the-beaten-path experiences, active adventures, and fun-filled family activities."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Having grown up across five different countries before the age of 16, I was fortunate to experience the world from a young age—and it sparked a lifelong passion for travel. I love exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures, always eager to learn and discover something new.
It felt only natural to pursue a career in the travel and tourism industry."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"On a recent work trip, I had the incredible opportunity to rediscover the magic of New Zealand – and it truly took my breath away. Moments like these remind me exactly why I do what I do.
One unforgettable highlight? The iconic TranzAlpine train journey through the heart of the South Island. Picture yourself gliding through snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and untamed rivers – all from the comfort of your seat. Opt for the Scenic Plus experience, and you’ll enjoy not only panoramic views but also regionally inspired cuisine served right at your seat."
