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."

Noemie was our trip planner and main point of contact. She totally attentive during our online meetings and very responsive to our written communications in the KimKim app and emails. She made good suggestions for activities and when we decided to cancel our helicopter ride over a weekend she and her support team worked together to make it happen. She and her team checked in with us periodically during our trip to make sure all was well. This was a very nice touch and a great comfort.
Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to travel with us.
It was a pleasure helping you plan your trip, and I’m so glad you felt well supported and found our suggestions helpful. I’m especially happy we could assist quickly with the change to your plans and that our check-ins added comfort along the way.
We truly appreciate your trust and would love to assist you again in the future!
We absolutely loved our trip.
