I've had over 10 years experience in the travel industry and have done a fair bit of exploring in my time. I love helping people plan their adventures and get out there to travel this beautiful planet of ours! You'll find me anywhere with wild animals and beautiful nature to enjoy. Some of my favourite destinations are Borneo, East Africa, Galapagos, Canada and of course our own Aotearoa (because who can really beat our landscaped here?!).

What our customers have to say

Nicky organized our amazing family holiday through Canada and USA. The accommodation choices were perfect in price and quality, and the flights all went smoothly without any issues. Took away all the hassles of travel, leaving us to simply enjoy! Highly recommend getting Nicky and the team involved in your next trip.

Jacqui
For two weeks during lockdown alert level 4, Nicky McCone worked tirelessly to find me flights out of New Zealand. There were numerous cancellations of flights and she very patiently found me alternatives are rebooked my itinerary with each set back. As I look back over my emails there were about 20 messages back and forth. Nicky was extraordinarily patient and good humored through it all keeping me apprised of changing flight schedules out of the South Island. Her tireless hard work and dedication in stressful times is truly exemplary. Kudos Nicky!

Anne
Excellent service professional and friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and accommodating.
