Cook Islands Travel Agents & Reviews

My husband and I went on a wonderful trip to New Zealand - North and South Island - that was actually planned for 2021 but could not go until this year. I like to work with an agent and Lindsay from our travel agency was extremely responsive offering helpful options and suggestions. Even though the time we spent on the North Island was right after the torrential rains, we modified the itinerary to spend 4 days in the Taupo area and 2 days in Rotorua. We hiked in the Tongariro National Park and part of the Great Lake Pathway, sailed to view the Maori Rock Carvings and visited Orakei Korako geothermal pools and Huka Falls in the Lake Taupo area. In Rotorua, we relaxed in the mineral pools of the spa and enjoyed the indigenous Maori experience at Te Puia. The next 12 days were spent on the South Island where we had sunny and warm weather! One of our favorite places was Abel Tasman Park where we went Kayaking and hiked on the beautiful Coast Trek. We continued our adventures on a memorable heli-hiking experience on the Tasman Glacier in the Mt. Cook region, followed by visiting the unique blue penguins and Royal Albatrosses on the Otago Peninsula and a hike and cruise on the famous Milford Sound in Fjordland National Park. We ended our journey with 3 days in Lake Wanaka area where we kayaked, hiked, and went to some of the region's famous wineries. 

Our family had a fabulous time in Australia - Melbourne, Kangaroo Island, Port Douglas & Sydney. We spent time doing what was most important to us - seeing and learning about Australian wildlife, their habitat, flora, the rainforest and reefs. We had several excellent tours led by knowledgeable and engaging guides.  We also spent several days in both Melbourne and Sydney to get to know those cities as well. The Aussies we met were friendly and happy to talk with us.  Rick at the travel agency was quite knowledgeable about the area, listened to what we wanted and made suggestions. Based on our conversations and emails, he scheduled many interesting, high-quality activities and booked great accommodations - all in excellent locations with the right amount of space for the family. We stayed in 4 locations in the 2 1/2 weeks we were there and all transportation was set up for us making travel a breeze. A couple of weeks before our departure, Rick met with us for a couple of hours via Webex and went through every detail of the trip so we would be prepared and could ask questions.I highly recommend this travel company.  

Our trip of a lifetime was wonderful!! I can't say enough about the professionalism by this travel agency & our travel agent Shelley. The excursions & accommodations were great. We were able to visit so many beautiful places in both Australia & New Zealand.During our trip we decided to change some of our accommodations to allow more time to visit with a friend in New Zealand. In addition, there was a cyclone that hit New Zealand & we had to make additional changes in our itinerary.  Shelley responded promptly to our emails & concerns. She helped us to locate other accommodations and we were able to continue enjoying our trip.I would highly recommend this company... and also the app Vamoos that they provide travelers to assist with all of the details of the trip. It was outstanding.

We had a great experience with this travel agency. We worked with Kate to develop a trip that exactly suited our preferred travel style, keeping our budget in mind! I felt like we got to see exactly what we were hoping to in Australia and would not have changed a thing. Kate was able to quickly help us plan out trip and was able to get back to us quickly to make any modifications to our itinerary. I really appreciated her help in planning our trip!

We loved our NZ/Australia travel specialist! Our original trip in March 2020 was delayed bc of Covid. Jo kept us updated and then rescheduled our trip. Her suggestions about what to see and do fit in perfectly with what we wanted out of our trip.  Taking the trip and all we saw and did, was even better than what the terrific itinerary showed.  Just a truly awesome trip in every respect!
