"Claire was beyond wonderful and…"

Claire was beyond wonderful and incredible at planning our whole trip to New Zealand. She asked us a variety of questions and planned our visit around our likes and dislikes. Even the restaurant suggestions were fantastic. We have recommended her to all of our friends and family.

"Stress free travel through New Zealand"

Amazing detail to provide three couples traveling together with smooth travels and a comprehensive overview of New Zealand. There was not a single hitch in any of the plans. The Latitude South team was very quick and responsive to our needs. We got to have some unique experiences because of the personalized holiday planning.

"We had a great trip!"

We had a great trip! Our expectations were exceeded. From first contact on our wants and needs were listened to and understood to design the trip experience we really wanted. The time and care taken, by Claire and others, to manage details was obvious and made the trip flow well. Dietary issues were handled well with appropriate and delicious options that were readily available. Support during the trip was always available and itinerary changes due to weather were handled smoothly and effectively. We would highly recommend Latitude South for anyone wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand.

"Anniversary Trip Extraordinaire!! "

We traveled with Latitude South for our 25th wedding anniversary trip last month. We spent a month exploring Australia and both islands of New Zealand. It really was the trip of a lifetime :)

We felt an instant connection with the Latitude South team when we started to plan our adventure. Karen, Claire, and Georgina were absolutely the most professional ladies to work with! We had a few ideas in mind when we first booked the trip, and with Karen's expertise and personal knowledge of the area, she was able to really guide us and create a trip that we were super excited about!

Every day was a new adventure, with just the right amount of downtime in between our excursions. Some of our highlights included: Great White Shark Cage Divining in Australia, sand duning and seeing Koalas in the wild, in-depth touring in Sydney! Then onto the North Island of New Zealand where we explored the Maori culture in Rotorua, float planed over some volcanoes, went deep into the native forests and ate some of the most amazing food ever!

We took the ferry between the two islands and just had gorgeous views of the Marlborough Sound, got to meet our awesome travel agents in Nelson :), Sea kayaked in the Abel Tasman, stayed in the most BEAUTIFUL tree houses in Kaikoura, hiked in Mount Cook, and jet boated in Queenstown. My husband even bungy jumped - what an amazing experience!
Being a LesMills group fitness instructor brought me to explore NZ - and I was able to fulfill my dream of taking classes at multiple gyms throughout the country and of course, downtown Auckland :) I will never forget that one !

I cannot tell you how much we appreciated working with Latitude South, they are TRUE professionals which we now consider friends :) Overall our most exciting trip ever spent -

"Best travel agent and vacation ever!"

Every little detail was managed for us, which made international travel seamless and low stress. Our itinerary was a fabulous combination of culture and nature, which is exactly what we were looking for. Claire was extremely responsive to all questions during the planning phase of the trip, all the way to the end of the trip. She made us feel like our enjoyment of our vacation was her highest priority! The trip exceeded our expectations in every single way. Seeing mountains, glaciers, ice bergs, and waterfalls, all on the same hike was amazing! From wine tastings in amazing vineyards, to soaking in hot springs, to hiking in Mount Cook National Park, we were thrilled with New Zealand. While we enjoyed everything we did, our high point was cruising around Doubtful Sound and spending a night on the boat. The waterfalls, the dolphins and the complete serenity of the area have given us lasting memories. We would highly recommend Latitude South to anyone planning a trip to New Zealand!

"Simply the Best!"

Latitude South is an incredible company with wonderful staff! I highly recommend everyone here! We worked with Claire and the team at Latitude South to book our belated honeymoon to New Zealand. They went above-and-beyond to make sure we had a fantastic trip. They listened to our wants and needs to craft a vacation we'll never forget, with plenty of hiking, wine tasting, food tours, and cultural experiences. Even when we had hiccups along the way, they were quick to resolve matters and make sure we were taken care of. They were gracious hosts and the best travel agents/curators I have ever worked with. The company is focused on YOU and making sure YOU fall in love with the place they call home. I know we'll be back and I know who we'll be contacting!

"Look no further - These are the folks you want to us"

We have used Latitude Travel on several occasions as have many of our neighbors and friends. Without a doubt Claire's team goes above and beyond meeting and exceeding expectations. If you want a team that can plan a personalized trip within your budget for New Zealand, Australia or surrounding areas look no further. No detail is too small for them to take care - dietary restrictions-done, need a specialized guide for a hike - done, special transportation needs - done. Without question this is a team that you want to use.

"Attentive and Effortless Execution"

Latitude South listened to our priorities and executed on what we wanted to see and do. Claire also offered suggestions that enhanced our trip. One of our most anticipated excursions canceled at the last minute and the Latitude South staff immediately pivoted and found a comparable tour. We barely had to think about logistics - Latitude South did that for us - which allowed us to be present in the moments and enjoy our family time. Tours and tour guides were all exceptional.

"Repeat clients, repeat happiness"

It was our second time booking a tour with Latitude South, and we will enlist their help for future trips. Karen and Claire were helpful and generous with booking, keeping our interests and special requests in mind. They were also supportive during our stay when we had a challenge with one of our hotels. They provided ideas of things to do in Nelson, which helped us feel like locals. I recommend them to friends and will work with them in planning future trips.

"Highly recommend Latitude South Travel"

Latitude South coordinated our trip to Australia. We could not be happier about our experience with the team. The experience started with a true desire to find our interests and budget. They designed a trip of a lifetime. The tours and the accommodations they booked were exceptional and absolutely matched the types of things we enjoy. Every aspect of transportation, how to pack, what to expect and options at each location were detailed in the itinerary. The personal attention to our wellbeing during the trip truly exceeded our expectation. We knew exactly what to do in case we experienced any unexpected issues. She even checked in with us along the way to make sure we were ok and having a great time.
