Nov 13 - Nov 29, 2025
We really enjoy planning trips and were not sure about using a travel service, but our experience with KimKim and our local specialist, Michelle, exceeded our expectations. Our New Zealand trip was a great mix of culture/ tourist sights, activities, beautiful views and off the beaten path places. Michelle helped us to narrow down our itinerary to better match our schedule and allow us to fully enjoy each location. She changed things around for us many times before we settled on the final itinerary. We had to make an adjustment to the itinerary due to a forest fire and Michelle called us as soon as we arrived in Auckland to advise us and help us to figure out an alternate plan.
All of the accommodations were either unique boutique stays or had amazing views, and in many cases both. We traveled around quite a bit and were excited each time we got to a new hotel. There were many highlights to our trip, but some of our favorites: M Social in Auckland, E-Ride Waiheke, Black Swan Inn and Te Pa Tu Maori Cultural Experience in Rotorua, Mountain Bike Rotorua, cycling the Lake Dunstan Trail in Cambridge and the river trail in Taupo, staying at the Taima PurePod, Kinloch Lodge, Milford Sound cruise (overnight) and Cinema Suites in Te Anau. Having all of the transfers, accommodations, breakfasts and activities booked for us made a busy trip feel easy. We were able to focus on the fun part of trip planning and leave the logistics to the professionals.
Activity Review
This was one of the highlights of our trip - exceeded expectations. The cultural experience was interactive, food delicious and singing/dancing amazing. Highy recommend.
