1. Your Personal Travel Consultant

When you make an enquiry on one of our tour packages, your enquiry is assigned to your own personal tour consultant. You are given their full name and their email address so you can email or phone them directly. Where possible, you will have one point of contact throughout your whole travel journey. One person who can get to know you and your holiday needs. No call centres and no shifting from one consultant to another. Read some of our customer reviews.

2. The Best Local Knowledge

Unlike some travel operators dealing with holidays to New Zealand, we are based here in New Zealand. All the members of our team have an intimate knowledge of this country and can share their first-hand knowledge and experience with you. We are also local and contactable when you arrive in New Zealand and can sort out any unforeseen issues you may have.

3. Help on the Ground

Because we are based in New Zealand, we are easily contactable if you need any help with your holiday once you arrive. Our office is based in Queenstown on the South Island, but our phone number is available for you to call to access support if you need it.

4. Competitive Pricing

Relaxing Journeys is owned by a parent company that sells New Zealand holidays throughout the world. Because our buying power is so large we can access the best rates from our New Zealand accommodation, car hire and sightseeing suppliers. We also offer a price-beat service.
