New Zealand

New Zealand, designed around your group

Soccer, rugby, basketball, field hockey and volleyball, cities and landscapes — a custom New Zealand itinerary built around your group's interests and dates.

New Zealand

What travel in New Zealand actually looks like

New Zealand is a long-haul destination, so itineraries usually run twelve to sixteen days and are planned so the journey is repaid in what your group experiences.

Auckland and Queenstown are common anchors, with time on both islands where your schedule permits. Teams in soccer, rugby, basketball, field hockey and volleyball can experience the country's sporting culture, and landscape and cultural learning, including Māori heritage, can be woven in. Every activity and fixture is subject to your itinerary and availability.

Plan well ahead — twelve months is comfortable for group air and fixtures.

Practical planning

Before you commit to the region

Honest constraints, so the trip you approve is the trip you get.

Trip length

Plan twelve to sixteen days; long flights make short trips poor value.

Lead time

Twelve months is ideal for group air, accommodation and fixtures.

Flights

Routings from the U.S. are long and limited; we plan around realistic group air options.

Seasons flip

The American summer is New Zealand winter, which affects sport seasons and outdoor activities.

How it works

Four steps, and we carry most of the weight

Most organizers have never planned an international trip before. That's normal — and it's our job, not yours.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your group

    A short conversation with the coach, teacher, administrator or parent organizing the trip. Goals, timing, group size, travel experience and budget.

  2. 02

    We design your trip

    We recommend destinations that actually fit, then build one or two tailored proposals with a day-by-day itinerary and per-person pricing. You give feedback; we refine until it's right.

  3. 03

    Your group registers and prepares

    We open registration and handle payments, documents and traveler questions directly, so you're not chasing forms.

  4. 04

    Travel and experience it

    Group flights, transfers, hotels, guides, matches and activities are locked and staffed. You coach and enjoy the trip; we run the logistics.
