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.
/
Fjords, firelight and full-body goosebumps
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.

For over 20 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of helping people explore the world. From weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime journeys, I’ve sent travelers to every corner of the globe—each trip teaching me something new and deepening my passion for travel planning.
What I love most is working with people to craft experiences that go far beyond just itineraries and bookings. Whether it’s a romantic escape, a family adventure, a cultural deep dive, or a soul-searching solo trip, I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Together, we create meaningful, memorable journeys that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
In the past few years, the travel landscape has changed dramatically. Flight disruptions, evolving health regulations, and new requirements have made things more complicated than ever. But with experience comes adaptability. We've become experts at staying ahead of the curve—navigating changes with confidence, keeping you informed, and ensuring your plans stay on track no matter what.
My goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel so you can focus on the joy of discovery. From the moment we start planning to the moment you return home, I’m here to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
Travel might be more complex today—but that’s exactly why having someone in your corner makes all the difference. Let’s plan something amazing.

Experiencing travel through the eyes of my daughter, has given me a whole new perspective and thirst for travel.
It enables me to slow my pace, look around and just enjoy being in the moment as she interacts with local people.
It brings back that feeling I had when I first travelled overseas, and I feel so grateful to be able to experience something so meaningful and life changing with my daughter.

My favourite thing about this job being able to explore and research lots of cool destinations daily and creating some cool itineraries is really exciting.
I love hearing all about the trip and my client’s experiences when they get home but it’s certainly making my book-it “list” turn into a novel.
My favourite place I have visited is Puerto Rico - from the beautiful white-sand beaches and the best coffee & chocolate I’ve ever had, this country is so rich with culture. It’s sure to be a memorable port stop on your next Caribbean Cruise.
The next place I would love to explore is South America - from Argentina, along the Amazon from Rio, Brazil, Venezuela and Peru!

Bula, Bonjour, Talofa, Konnichiwa – and welcome!
From the moment I could dream, I dreamed of travel. At just 17, I set out on
that path by diving into my first travel course, and I’ve never looked back.
For the first decade, I poured my heart into everything South Pacific – those
sparkling waters, warm smiles, and sun-soaked cultures became my world.
Now, my map has expanded far beyond the Pacific, and I’m proud to say I sell
the entire world. And what a breathtakingly vast world it is! Over the past 30
years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to explore some of its most magical
corners – Samoa, Bali, Vietnam, Hawaii, Italy, and Switzerland are just a few
of the places that have left footprints on my soul.
But this journey isn't just about me. It’s about you – your dreams, your adventures, your once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m here to ignite your excitement, guide your decisions, and help piece together your perfect travel jigsaw. Whether you’re hopping over to Australia, meandering through the Scottish Highlands in a small group, or gliding past alpine peaks on a Swiss rail tour – I’ll be right beside you, making it all seamless.
There’s nothing quite like nabbing that dream tour, then weaving in the best
flights, stopovers, and secret gems to create an itinerary that’s more than a
trip – it’s an experience. Over the years, I’ve learned something simple but
powerful: every place is unique, kindness connects us all, and life’s most
precious souvenirs are the memories we make.
So let’s start building yours.
Angela
Best time to go
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.
Time difference
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.
