Happy clients - Ian & June Kilshaw

Another really satisfying testimonial here. Many thanks Ian and June!


It all started with a challenge to Paul!

We had decided that to mark our Golden Wedding Anniversary, we would go to New Zealand for a five-week trip to see what the country could offer. The challenge was to allow the following parameters:

1. To see the magnificent scenery that New Zealand had to offer
2. To be able to experience the Pacific Rim of Fire and to
3. Give full opportunity to see wildlife and nature at its best.

Paul met the challenge admirably.

The trip was organised so that we were able to see the differences between the North Island and the South Island, to visit White Island, the active volcanic island and to be able to see what birds and mammals exist in New Zealand. From Whale Watch in Kaikoura, where we saw Sperm Whales and Dusky Dolphins to a visit to Stewart Island and Ulva Island where we saw so many rare and beautiful birds and to Papatowai where we saw Yellow Eyed Penguins among many other wonderful sights in nature. The trips to Milford Sound and the 24-hour cruise on Doubtful Sound were a real highlight.

The trip allowed sufficient spare time for us to be able to do what we chose on a number of days and we were able to see Hector’s Dolphins on a cruise from Akaroa.



A photo is included which was taken on the White Island trip.

Best wishes

Happy clients - Sean Rice

Here is a note from Sean Rice who has recently returned from his New Zealand holiday. Receiving messages like this are why I just love working in travel and I was touched by the comment about larger tour companies. I couldn't have put it better myself!

Hi Paul

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed my holiday. I orignally regarded it as the holiday of a lifetime but feel sure now that I will repeat it.

The arrangements you made were superb and everything fell into place without a hitch. I would like to thank NZID for a truly outstanding service which I feel far exceeded anything a large tour company could provide.

I enjoyed every part of the trip but would specially note Wilderness Lodge as a magical experience. All the hotels were excellent and the B&B's exceeded my best expectations. May I make special note of Wanaka where Jo was also particularly kind and hospitable. Of course all the other venues were excellent as well particularly Te Anau and Akaroa.

My grateful thanks to everyone.

Best wishes

Sean

PS If I return I would certainly stay at Wilderness Lodge again. I imagine there is still much yet to see!

Many thanks for your kind words Sean and for some fantastic photos.
