New Zealand

Our travel agent did an amazing job planning our trip to New Zealand.

At first i was hesitant to use Zicasso, an online service, to refer us to a travel agent.

But as I was searching other travel agencies and spoke to them, this travel agent was fast at

submitting an itinerary based on the dates of travel and dollar amount we had in mind.

Upon review of the activities unique to visiting the South Island and our agent returning my phone calls to

answer my questions, I felt comfortable finalizing my lodging, car rental, and activities via this travel company.

Our trip was one of our best to date! The lodging accommodations were exquisite.

The planned activities were top of the line as far as vendors and places to see.

Visiting the South Island, near Nelson was Able Tasman National Park, taking a catamaran to the park was

relaxing and scenic.

Botanic gardens in Christchurch, was unforgettable as it was serene, breath taking, and one felt like

you were walking on an English pathway.

Hiking in Mt. Cook and star gazing at night in the national park was superb as the mountains, rivers and hiking

paths were unforgettable.

But the best was visiting scenic Queenstown and the nearby city, Arrowtown, plus taking a flight to

Milford sound along with a nature cruise ride on the fiord. The chartered flight on a Cessna 675 was awesome

and breathtaking to see the mountain ranges, mountain lakes and waterfalls from above was unbelievable!

We were very fortunate to have sunny weather.

For the time allotted, which was 10 days on the South Island, nothing.
