Please Help Me to Design Your Trip –


​​I would very much like to introduce you to the wonders of this fabulous country and the wonderful Kiwis who live here. I came for a visit in 1989 and returned in 1992 to call it home and have never looked back. It is an awesome natural place, peaceful and the locals welcome you with open arms. My Kiwi wife and I have travelled the roads of New Zealand now for years checking out the scenery, activities, accommodations getting information and photographs along the way.
If you have the time I will take you to the southern Alps, glaciers, pristine lakes and wild rivers, beaches with no people, hot pools, green forests and farms full of sheep and get you up close to seals, albatross, dolphins and whales.................and much, much more if that is your desire. The roads are well maintained and easy to drive especially in the South Island where there are few people. Lots of hiking/tramping opportunities.
I am available for questions and help from the beginning all the way through to the end of your trip.
