2010 TESTIMONIALS

My husband and I recently returned from our first trip to New Zealand, and it was everything we hoped it would be- a fantastic, fun, amazing experience! It was also our first experience with the New Zealand Adventure Co., and I sincerely hope it will not be our last. Everything, from planning to the actual trip, was entirely trouble free.  I initially put our information onto the Tripology website, and was then contacted by three New Zealand travel experts. All three submitted itineraries, but I was most impressed with the New Zealand Adventure Co.’s Karen Pettit. From the first few times we spoke, it was clear that Karen cared about our trip. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, she had excellent ideas, responded to every e-mail and phone call, and was willing to work with us to plan the trip we wanted, while keeping within our budget. When disaster threatened and we had to postpone our trip due to illness, Karen sympathized, and then took care of everything.  Karen, we can’t thank you enough!

Our trip was fabulous!!  Wouldn't change a thing!  We enjoyed everything and there were so many highlights it's hard to pick just a few!  Everything you arranged worked perfectly - there were no problems with anything.  We really loved Tokoriki iin Fiji, and had a wonderfully relaxing time there before returning home.  It was just what we needed after traveling thru NZ.  I will happily recommend your services to anyone considering a trip to NZ, etc.  You did a fantastic job, and we have many memories that will stay with us for a lifetime! 

Thanks so much for everything!  Also, we really enjoyed meeting your dad - he does a GREAT job as a guide!!

My husband and I spent 18 wonderful days in New Zealand. Our vacation went smoothly and we had absolutely no "hiccups" mainly because of you. NZ Adventure Co. listened to and delivered our every request.  You were so efficient, detail oriented and being a "kiwi" were very knowledgeable about the country. Our accommodations were perfect, our adventures varied , and your culinary recommendtions were excellent.  Looking forward to booking an itinerary to Australia with you... Many thanks  for a great introduction to NZ and its unique "nooks and crannies".

In the winter of 2010, my wife and I enjoyed our second adventure planned for us by NZAC. Our first, in 2004 was to New Zealand and this one was to Australia. We couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Accommodations, time at each stop and driving directions were extraordinary. All the things that were supposed to happen – from airport pick-ups and returns, to hotel reservations to dining reservations – were outstanding.  When any of our friends consider a trip to New Zealand or Australia, NZAC is our strong recommendation.

Barry and Carole Forman, Virginia, USA

The trip was everything I expected and more...cannot say too many good things about Karen Pettit and her staff at New Zealand Adventure Co....Karen made every effort to see that all my expectations and more were met....alterations and special requests were never a problem for her, and I feel as if we are now family !!..extremely knowledgable, always friendly, enthusiastic, and eager to please....can not recommend Karen and her company too much.

PRE - 2010 TESTIMONIALS

"Bonnie and I cannot even begin to express our thanks for the wonderful planning you did on our trip. Every detail of our vacation went exactly as planned, the hotel rooms were great, the tours were enjoyable.  I have sung your praises to all my friends and will recommend you and your travel company without reservation to anyone interested in travel "down under".

Randy and Bonnie Quillen, North Carolina, USA

"We had a wonderful time.  Thanks for all your help in planning this special time in our lives.  It's something we will never forget!  It would take hours to describe every place we stayed and everything we saw, but we truly enjoyed ourselves.  We're looking forward to seeing all our photos and can't wait to tell all our family and friends about our great trip.  Again, thanks for all your special planning that went into our trip of a lifetime".

Alice and Lee Jones, South Carolina, USA

"I've been meaning to write you! We had a fantastic time on this journey. Thank you so much for helping us arrange everything. Our favorite place was the South Island. In fact, we want to return and spend a month on just the South Island next time! NZ is among the most beautiful places we've ever visited - and the people (Kiwis) are amongst the kindest and brightest we've ever had the privilege of meeting.  Rest assured, I will refer anyone and everyone who is planning a trip to NZ to Karen at NZ Adventure Co.!"

Joe Horne and Tim Tankersley, Georgia, USA

The trip kept getting better and better, from the first day to the last hours (I stumbled upon a bird sanctuary in Queenstown that feeds the kiwis at 11:00 a.m.) Your able assistance in pulling together the best itinerary for me (and I know I can be finicky), hugely contributed to the success of the voyage. If ever you need someone to go on record to sing your praise, please know you can call on me.  I should also tell you that I met up with some wonderful Maori guides and teachers and I learned a great deal. So, thank you. I look forward to booking with you again--I hope soon!

Bill Engel, Tennessee, USA

I just wanted to thank you again for the things you did to help us with planning our family vacation.  It was a wonderful time for all of us and we will have many good memories, though we certainly didn't get much rest (smile).  Thanks again for everything.

The Enns Family of Four, Arizona, USA

G'Day Mate!  Hey Karen, great vacation.  Everything went great and without so much as a single hitch.  We loved New Zealand and are wondering who won the cricket world cup? I'm still working on the rules. New Zealand is beautiful.  The dolphins sprayed us with water on the front of the boat trip and we saw penguins too!  We really loved Queenstown where we jet boated, helicopter toured, white water rafted, parasailed and toured Milford Sound.  All was just great.  Can't thank you enough for a great trip!

Roberta and Tom Miller, Connecticut, USA

"What a wonderful trip!  Not one hitch.  New Zealand is a very lovely country!  The people are so friendly, they go out of their way to help with directions.  In Auckland airport, I needed to turn in my rental car papers and on my way, stopped at a stand of wheelchairs and asked a young man for a ride to the rental car counter.  When he brought me back, I asked "How much?" and the response was "Oh I don't work here!" and walked away.  He laughed when I offered to pay.  Thank you for all of your help in arranging this trip.  I will report favorably to all who ask and some who do not ask!  Thanks again for a truly enjoyable trip".

Stirling and Ann Blair, Michigan, USA

"I just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thank you for organizing a wonderful and very enjoyable vacation for Don and me this year.  The accommodations that your arranged for us were just what we were looking for, and the welcome from our hosts was wonderful.  And just when we thought the scenery could not get any better we made our way to Queenstown and enjoyed an amazing day on the Dart River trip!".

Don and Michelle Schima, California, USA

"Thank you so much for putting the most unbelievable vacation together for us.  New Zealand has changed our lives.  We will return again and again.  Thank you, you've certainly got a great business"!

June and Donny Jones, Hawaii, USA

"Neither Cinda nor myself had visited New Zealand before so we decided to find a "Kiwi" to help us with our plans.  We were so fortunate to find you!  In the beginning of our conversations, we explained that we wanted to do a self-drive, self-exploration, B&B holiday that allowed us to both see the country and experience the people and culture of New Zealand at our own pace.  Well, you hit a "home run".  Your plans, accommodations, including a home-stay, and overall insight and knowledge of New Zealand, made for the best holiday we could have hoped for.  I would recommend anyone going to New Zealand look no further than New Zealand Adventure Co. for all of their needs and arrangements.  Your warm, friendly countrymen made us feel like we were visiting your family!!  We are 100% satisfied".

Mark and Cinda Berman, Massachusetts, USA

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  I want you to know how much we appreciate all of your help in planning each and every detail of our fabulous trip".

Barbara May and Les Schonbrun, New Jersey, USA

"I just wanted to shoot you a quick e-mail and thank you for the wonderful honeymoon package you put together for us.  We had such a great time in New Zealand, what an amazing experience!  The highlight of our trip was the sea kayaking, our guide was incredible.  We will definitely contact you if we have the opportunity to go back in the future"!!

Trish Bishop and Rob Weldon, Minnesota, USA

"A trip to Kiwi Land is the treat of a lifetime.  The scenery, sights and people are delightful.  A big thanks to New Zealand Adventure Co. for all of the arrangements.  Certainly your efforts contributed to the success of my visit.  Looking forward to working with NZAC again on my return to New Zealand.  Now I am an All Blacks fan".
