Dear Boutique Travel clients and friends

WHAT’S NEW :
Ellen has been an active traveller in the last few months.. In October she ventured to India on an itinerary that focused on the Tiger Circuit game parks of Central India. India doesn’t have to be rough travel and in fact can be luxurious beyond your imagination from luxury lodges to 5 star cuisine and attentive service at Taj, Oberoi and &Beyond resorts and hotels.

Last week, Ellen returned from New Zealand where she met with Penny - our Australian and New Zealand specialist.  We are very excited to be selling these amazing Countries! Penny and Ellen are hard at work on our new website highlighting this wonderful part of the world but are certainly ready now to help you plan your next adventure down under. See below for Penny's over view.
Ellen’s next exploration trip is at the end of this month to Ecuador  - her visits include Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca and a luxury catamaran and lodge experience in the Galapagos Islands. Stay tuned for more on this incredible destination.(link to ecuador site)

Polynesian navigator and discoverer, Kupe, described his first sighting of this new land as Aotearoa, or Land of the Long White Cloud. This isolated land, located on the edge of the Southwest Pacific, is in a unique corner of the world, still pristine and relatively untouched.

New Zealand has something to offer every visitor: From the exquisite beauty of South Island’s mountains and fjords, offering exciting adventure and outdoor activities, to the sun-drenched beaches of North Island and the unspoilt wonder of its national parks; dramatic natural features in the thermal regions of North Island and age-old legends and proud culture of the Maori, all combined with our friendly and welcoming people.

Being based in vibrant, bustling and multicultural Auckland, I’m on hand to help you plan your holiday to this part of the world. The best months to travel are between September and March, which are our Spring and Summer months – days are long and warm, with February being the hottest time of the year. But don’t be put off during our winter months - the ski fields of Queenstown offer an excellent winter break and there are any number of activities to keep you busy during these months. And right now Air NewZealand is offering a fare sale like never seen before.

I look forward to welcoming you to New Zealand – KIA ORA
