Recommended travel points

Enjoy the beautiful and majestic nature of New Zealand's South Island.

After arriving in New Zealand via Auckland, the first stop is Queenstown, which is known as a city worthy of a queen. Enjoy wine tastings at three wineries, lunch and wine pairing, and an adventure to the wine caves.

Next, head to Fiordland National Park, a Queenstown-based area.
Milford Sound, the highlight of Fiordland National Park, is a great place to take a cruise and get up close and personal with the wilderness.

Furthermore, head to the area centered around New Zealand's highest peak, Mount Cook. While trekking with a view of Mount Cook, please enjoy the scenery woven by glacial lakes and alpine plants.

In Tekapo, where the milky blue lake is popular, you will be soothed by the lupine flowers that adorn the lakeside, the stone church of the Good Shepherd, and the star-filled sky at night.

At the end of the trip, head to Christchurch, a beautiful British-style cityscape. Again, we will guide you to three wineries.

This is a recommended plan for those who like wine and world heritage sites.
If there are other activities or places you want to visit, you can change or adjust them. If you consult with a local coordinator, you can realize your own impressive trip on a custom-made basis.

    Founded in July 2002 as the first shop in New Zealand to specialize in individual travel, before the term "individual travel" took hold. Before starting my own business, in addition to my experience working at a travel agency in Japan, I also worked as a local guide for Nikkei Travel Agency overseas and accumulated a wealth of experience in the field. We do not offer package tours or group trips. I consulted with a travel agency in Japan, but they didn't make the travel itinerary I wanted. We are a travel agency that operates locally, so we do not give such complaints. We carefully listen to the wishes of our customers one by one and help them with original individual travel that cannot be realized by travel agencies in Japan.

    I worked at a travel agency in Japan after obtaining the qualification of a general travel business handling chief for the national examination in Japan. After that, I went to Australia and worked as a tour guide, and then for the first few years in New Zealand, I worked as a tour guide in Queenstown, mainly guiding people to Mautcook and Milford, and guiding airport transfers. I moved to Christchurch in 2007 and since then I have been mainly booking and planning trips. In the past, I stayed in Queenstown for about two months during the ski season to guide ski groups, and I was in charge of the ski desk for ski customers. In 2012 I moved to Auckland and continue to work on travel arrangements and planning. I am also a mother of two children, so please leave it to me for family trips. Taking advantage of my experience of traveling to New Zealand as an individual and as a local guide in the South Island, I would like to think and arrange a schedule that can meet the wishes and requests of each customer as much as possible, which is unique to individual travel.
