Welcome to Ethos New Zealand

Specialists in New Zealand Travel 

Thank you for joining us at Ethos New Zealand, a travel company specializing in New Zealand itineraries.  We create a customized travel plan tailored to suit your interests, tastes, and budget; then, we make all the land arrangements for your unique New Zealand adventure.  As ardent New Zealand travelers ourselves, we have the knowledge, understanding, and enthusiasm to help you plan an outstanding New Zealand experience. 

Here are just some of the reasons you will benefit from choosing us:

• You deal only with the owners of Ethos New Zealand.  It's our company, our reputation, and our livelihood.    
• You save yourself the time, uncertainty, and frustration of trying to plan a trip to a place unknown to you.   
• You get the insight of a born-and-bred New Zealander (Robyn), as well as the perspective of an American (Jerry) who lived and worked in New Zealand.
• You have us as your personal trip advisers, trouble shooters, and friends-away-from-home before, during, and after your journey.
• You can contact us directly at any time throughout the process.  You have our personal cell phone numbers.
• Your trip is planned to fit your budget and to cater to your special interests -- hiking, biking, wine tasting, birding, fishing, or your own special favorites.
• You get our candid recommendations, which are based on extensive first-hand experience.  We ourselves are seasoned travelers.   

We have lived or visited nearly everywhere there is to live or visit in New Zealand, and we have friends and contacts all over the country.  In the unlikely event you want to go somewhere in New Zealand we haven't frequented, we will go there to scout it out, time permitting, or we will confer with our friends who live close by and can tell us about the places the locals keep to themselves. 

You don't know anything about New Zealand?  It doesn't matter.  We offer suggestions of where to visit, how to prioritize your destinations and activities, and where to eat and stay.  We can book you into top-of-the-line accommodations, or we can suggest thrifty alternatives meeting basic requirements.  We give you as much or as little help as you want in planning a seamless itinerary, and then we take care of your arrangements.  You also receive a detailed "Daily Planner" full of useful information, suggested readings, and helpful tips.  All you do is have the vacation of a lifetime.

We love New Zealand, and we value your patronage.  Thanks again for visiting our Ethos New Zealand website.
