Norway

Fjords, northern lights, and magical landscapes


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.

Always with a smile I will be just as excited and passionate about your future adventures as you are! Originally from the UK I've spent the last 10 years travelling around the globe before finally settling in heavenly New Zealand.

Here I've turned the joy of travel into a profession I love. I enjoy nature, the beach, spending time with loved ones and exploring new places especially on the open road or by cruise.

I believe the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams!

To me, traveling is so much more than a simple trip or relaxing vacation; it is a journey that always leaves me transformed and forever changed by the experiences presented. I have had the pleasure of visiting too many countries to count from backpacking on a shoestring budget around Asia to going all out on a private luxury adventure filled holidays such as trekking Machu Pichu! 

My firsthand recommendations will ensure that your destination choices, no matter how uncommon, are always extraordinary. No matter what you are looking for, whether it’s a bucket list adventure or something that completely takes you off the grid, you can count on me to open doors to the most exceptional experiences and enhance every travel adventure.

House of Travel Palmerston North: Broadway

Having visited 32 countries (and counting!), I’ve been lucky enough to turn my passion of exploring the world into a career helping others do the same. I specialise in travel across Australia, the Pacific Islands, Cruises, and bring a wealth of knowledge from a six-month backpacking adventure across Europe that gave me first hand insight into travelling on and off the beaten track.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a once in a lifetime adventure, I’ll take care of every detail so that you can relax and enjoy the journey. Your travel will be made easy, memorable, and be perfectly suited to you.

Some of my most memorable experiences include hot air ballooning over the desert in Dubai, island hopping along Croatia’s stunning coastline, and something a little closer to home - Fiji! - A destination every Kiwi should experience at least once.

Travel is constantly evolving, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way — from planning and booking to those special insider tips. Get in touch via phone or email to start planning your next adventure. Video consultations are also available for your convenience.

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.

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.
