Brazil

Where every day is all about electrifying fun

Rio De Janiero, Brazil

Feel the beat of Brazil

Brazil is pure energy... from its golden beaches to its lush rainforests and electrifying cities, this country is all about having a good time.

Feel the rhythm of Rio as you watch the sunset over Copacabana Beach or stand in awe at the 30-metre high Christ the Redeemer statue that dominates the skyline.

Venture deep into the Amazon to immerse yourself in ancient flora that’s remained unchanged for millions of years; experience the pulse of Bahia, where Afro-Brazilian culture and dazzling carnivals bring the streets alive - and indulge in sizzling churrasco, tropical açai bowls, light airy cheese bread and refreshing caipirinhas till you can eat and drink no more.

Whether you’re dancing the night away, exploring breathtaking landscapes, or soaking up the local vibe, Brazil is a feast for all your senses, all at once.

Chat with our Brazil travel specialists, and let’s bring your South American dream to life.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Brazil takes roughly 16.5 hours with a stopover, but the energy of this country will wake you up as soon as you land.

Best time to go

October and November offer Brazil’s best weather without the crowds. If you're after sun, sand, and Carnival energy, plan your trip between December and March, but expect the masses!

Time difference

Brazil is between 14 and 16 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving, but if you make like the locals and hit the ground partying, it won't be so bad.

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.

Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.

I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!

Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! 

Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.

Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
