Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Norway takes roughly 26 hours with a stopover. You might be a bit tired off the other end but that won't matter when you see those incredible fjords.
Norway is the ultimate playground for nature lovers, where majestic fjords slice through wild landscapes and the midnight sun keeps the adventure going long after dark.
Cruise through breathtaking waterways, hike to jaw-dropping spots like Trolltunga, or chase the northern lights across an Arctic sky. The landscapes are nothing short of spectacular – but Norway isn’t all about the great outdoors.
In Oslo and Bergen, you’ll uncover Viking heritage, colourful harbours, and a buzzing scene of modern art, culture and Nordic cuisine. Whether you’re dog-sledding through snowy tundra, soaking in a fjord-side sauna, or getting lost for hours in a fascinating museum – Norway is pure magic.

Norway is stunning year-round, but summer offers long days and mild weather. Winter dazzles with the northern lights, while spring and autumn reveal a quieter, more authentic Norway.
Norway is 10–12 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving in both countries. It might take you a couple of days to know which way is up.

Travel has been my passion for more than 20 years. While I took time out to raise my family, I couldn't stay away from an industry I truly love.
Whether you're dreaming of a family getaway, a cruise, a special celebration, or an adventure somewhere new, I'm here to help make it happen. I love getting to know my clients and creating holidays that are as unique as they are. Whether you're one of my valued long-standing clients or we're yet to meet, I'm here to help bring your travel dreams to life.
I'd love to hear about the adventures you have planned and work with you to create your Best Holiday Ever. Give me a call, send me an email, or pop into the store for a chat, I look forward to meeting you and helping you start your next journey.
Life is a collection of moments and memories.
Both planning your travel and the journey itself should be enjoyable. I find joy in working with travellers to build holidays that are perfect for them.
Having travelled extensively I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in the rich culture of any country I am fortunate enough to visit. Travel is my passion and I love helping clients create an unforgettable experience that is uniquely their own.
I genuinely believe that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I enjoy being part of each and every journey. No day is the same in the life of a travel consultant and I relish the challenge that this represents. I am flattered by the number of clients who have come back to me time and time again.
Having travelled to nearly 50 countries, my bucket list is still never ending. I have backpacked my way through the world in my youth as well as enjoying five star luxury in more recent times. I have definitely felt richer from each and every experience. Travel is a way of life, I love what I do and that passion and enthusiasm always translates into the work I put into my clients plans.
As a passionate globetrotter, I've explored the corners of the world with my three adventurous children and alongside friends and family, indulging in everything from backpacking escapades to luxurious resort retreats and exhilarating cruises.
My journey through the tapestry of travel experiences has been enriched by my upbringing in England and my time spent living amidst the captivating landscapes of Western Australia. It's these diverse backgrounds that have instilled in me a profound love for travel and a deep understanding of the intricacies of exploring different cultures and landscapes.
My journey through countless destinations has ignited a fervent dedication to curating unforgettable travel experiences, not just for myself, but for fellow wanderlust souls seeking to fulfil their travel dreams. Whether you're yearning for the rugged thrill of backpacking, the tranquil family getaways, the opulence of fancy resorts, or the serene luxury of cruising, I'm here to weave together the perfect itinerary tailored to your desires.
I want to take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on the excitement of your trip. I am highly organised and like to ensure everything has been thought of and accounted for. Communicating clearly along the way with you so you feel confident and reassured.
I would love to help you with your next journey....wherever it may be!
