Fabulous trip to New Zealand !

New Zealand | Mar 7 - Mar 27, 2026

My husband & I booked a catamaran trip in the north island of New Zealand for March 2026 and decided to stay a couple of weeks extra to see more of the country. A friend told us about kimkim and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did!!! We had a fabulous trip!!! Monika, the local specialist we worked with, did a wonderful job helping us plan where to go and what to see in the north island before the boat trip and the south island for the two weeks remaining on our stay in New Zealand. She made sure we saw and experienced as much as we possibly could in our timeframe. We stayed in nice hotels (some with free laundry facilities which we needed), went on great tours to beautiful places (some included food &/or wine), and was provided transportation in several locations (when we didn't have a rental car). Monika also gave us recommendations on other things to see and do in every place we stayed and as we traveled around the country. She even gave us driving tips . Her attention to detail was amazing!! She took great care of us before, during and after our trip. We had a couple of issues with vendors that were no fault of ours or hers. She intervened on our behalf and made sure we got reimbursed.
We will definitely use kimkim on our next adventure and we highly recommend Monika if you are going to New Zealand!
