All of us relax differently, so why should we holiday the same!
If you’re passionate about cycling, golf, diving or other activities, we can create a custom holiday package that suits your budget.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend taking out comprehensive travel insurance as soon as you have made and confirmed any travel or holiday plans.

This will cover you should the unforeseen happen, and you need to cancel your booking, or you have an accident while you’re out of New Zealand.

Some travel insurance policies have a number of restrictions that customers may not always know about when they embark on their travel. It is vital that you fully understand and are certain what your insurance covers.

We offer travel insurance from two insurers – CoverMore and Kiwi Holiday Insurance for both our Leisure and Corporate travellers.
