It takes around 24 hours to fly from Auckland to Croatia, including a stopover. Despite the long flight, Croatia’s stunning coastlines and rich history make it a must-visit destination.
The best time to visit Croatia is from May to September, especially if you’re interested in the coastal regions. The summer months are perfect for enjoying the Adriatic Sea and exploring the islands.
Croatia is 10 hours behind New Zealand, so you’ll need to adjust to a significant time difference.

Why I love travel?
I absolutely love the joy and excitement of discovering new countries and cultures that travel brings. The two years of "no travel" during the pandemic has also taught me that revisiting places I've loved in the past gives me just as much joy! Connecting with people and places is very special and I am reminded of this every day in the job I do.
I love to share my travel and industry experience with my clients so that we can build the best of holidays together!

I’ve been fortunate to
travel extensively and live in some amazing cities.
I'd love to inspire you to travel more by drawing on my personal experiences
& knowledge to make your dreams a reality
As a travel agent with 30+ (gulp) years of experience, I’ve learned that
no two journeys are ever the same—and that’s what keeps this job exciting.
While travel is one of life’s greatest pleasures, planning it can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in. I’ll take care of every detail so you can focus on what matters most: making unforgettable memories.
