"Simply the best!"

Claire really listened to the pace we wanted on the trip. We were able to include the destinations and activities we wanted, while still having time to relax and enjoy our time. Most impressive was how smoothly all of the logistics were. Every driver showed up on time, every activity was arranged and went off without a hitch. It made for an easy, stress free trip.

"Latitude really knows Australia/New Zealand"

Claire with Latitude planned this trip with me like a close friend. Every recommendation turned out fantastic from the hotels, tours and even ground transportation. Details were perfect and well communicated. This vacation was an extra special experience because of the professional planning that took place by Claire and Latitude South. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Australia or New Zealand!

"The BEST travel company for touring New Zealand!"

Karen's attention to detail, personalized touch, and absolute professional integrity is more than we could have ever hoped for! If you are considering a trip to New Zealand, you definitely want to work with Karen Pettit-Lind and the Latitude South Luxury Travel company! They made my daughter's Lord of the Rings dreams come true! I promise you will not be disappointed. 5+ STARS!! 🌟

"The Perfect Trip Back to New Zealand"

The amazing folks at Latitude South, whom we have used before, out did themselves. No detail was overlooked on our trip back to New Zealand. They listened to all of our “asks” and still exceeded them. From accommodations to experiences, we could not have asked for more fulfilling experiences that really helped you to understand the place/people/history. They quickly responded to all of our questions and made sure we were having a great time all throughout our trip. We simply could not have asked for more.

"OUTSTANDING!!!!!"

I don't really know how to begin to express our feelings towards Latitude. First let me say, that I have never worked with more caring, knowledgable or passionate people in my life. That sounds dramatic but considering our trip was during one the most historic times in our world history, it is warranted. Karen and Claire and the entire staff at Latitude were incredible from day one but it just got better after that. These women truly love and care about their clients and their experience in NZ like no other. We needed to visit our son in NZ on a rather last minute basis. We had about a month to plan and prepare for a trip of a life time which included sharing special times with our son while touring NZ in less than 2 weeks. The crew spent so much time planning every detail to ensure our trip would be memorable including out of the ordinary special private tours and small group tours tailored to our needs. We simply LOVED every minute of our time on a private farm, beautiful boat cruises and special side outings. Every finite detail was attended to and so much more. Once we arrived, things began to change quickly with regard to the virus and Karen and Claire were beyond attentive to our worries and so reassuring and on top of the quickly changing environment. They went BEYOND their roll as travel experts which I was already impressed with and became experts in counseling, hospitality, and crisis management. I can't imagine how they felt when the third call that day came from me with worries and concerns but they never hinted at any annoyance!!!

I REALLY can't say how much I appreciated every planning and execution detail of our NZ experience, but their caring and patient handling of these very nervous travelers was beyond the call of duty. If you have the opportunity to see NZ, these are the ONLY professionals I would chose to work with. They are simply the best, know their business, know how to customize to you and truly care about their travelers as family. We are forever indebted to them for all they did for us while in NZ to ensure our experience was unforgettable and safe. Thank you, Latitude. You are incredible. Gratefully, Val and Doug Eichhorn

"South Island vacation with Latitude South"

Claire was an absolute pleasure to work with. Helped us tremendously develop our itinerary for the trip on the south island.
Latitude staff is also available while in country if the need arises.

"So many adventures! So well planned!"

Dear Claire,
It truly was a trip of a lifetime for me. I adore New Zealand and every (and I mean every) outing/tour exceeded my expectations. The groups were small, the tour guides were fantastically qualified, capable, charming and interesting people. In planning the coordination of all these activities for us the details were seamlessly looked after! I’m in awe really how you juggled, alerted us to last minute changes and kept track of us all along the way. People keep asking me if the Routeburn Trek, or Abel Tasman Sea Kayaking, or Fiordland overnight boat cruise, or Otago bicycle tour, or the Siberian Experience was my favorite and I see no reason to place one above the other - each was an awe inspiring delight, accommodations on each tour exceeded my premonitions and found the company of fellow travelers, hosts and native Kiwis gracious and kind.
Wow! Is all I can say. * The wonderful outing you arranged for us - Sheep Station visit at Baton Farms with Fiona and Richard will remain especially close to my heart because of the genuine warmth and authenticity of those remarkable people.
I’ll be sharing my stories and encouraging friends to give Latitudes South a call for their New Zealand trips!
Sincerely, Ginny Gobel, Boise,ID

"We loved New Zealand and Latitude…"

We loved New Zealand and Latitude helped make it the perfect vacation despite our limited time.

"New Zealand South Island Adventure"

Great trip due To Excellent planning

"Travels Down Under"

We've recently returned from an incredible three week adventure through New Zealand! From our first
communications with Latitude South Travel Company we knew that they would be a perfect fit for planning our
time in this beautiful country! We were very impressed with their response time and attention to detail
while putting together our itinerary. Our trip was thoughtfully planned out and so well
organized. While we were in Nelson, we had the pleasure of dinner with Claire an associate at Latitude South. Such a personal touch, so nice to meet her in person after corresponding via email and phone calls over the past months. We had exceptional quality of service considering all the details involved from accommodations, flights,
transportation, rental vehicle, sightseeing and guides in different locations.
Throughout our trip they regularly checked in with us to make
sure everything was going as planned. They put together the perfect itinerary based on
our expectations and our first visit to New Zealand. Without hesitation, I would highly
recommend this travel company for anyone who wants to have a great experience as
they explore New Zealand. The New Zealanders are so welcoming and friendly. The generous, heartfelt hospitality of the
Kiwis cannot be overstated. Everyones efforts made our trip stress free, fun and a memorable experience!
