" Wild new things in New Zealand!"

In case you didn't know, Australian Wild Escapes recently commenced Operations in New Zealand. As a New Zealand Specialist, we would love to welcome your guests on board with us.

Australian Wild Escapes director of Sales and Marketing, Grant Charlesworth, explains - "New Zealand is the adventure capital of the world. It is rich in culture and has unrivalled beauty. Many of our guests travelling to Australia are including New Zealand as part of their South Pacific Vacation."

Australian Wild Escapes are delighted to be able to offer our clients and our guests superior day touring and multi day touring options from New Zealand now, as part of their total Wild Escapes experience. We will initially have daily FIT departures from Auckland, Rotorua and Queenstown. All of these tours will perfectly compliment destinations that we travel to in Australia such as the Blue Mountains, Cape Tribulation and Philip Island. All of our tours can be viewed at www.newzealandwildescapes.com

The most important aspect of our companies expansion into New Zealand is to be able to offer a consistent small group touring product. As we have in Australia, our average FIT group size will be around 6 to 8 guests. We will be providing home style morning teas, gourmet style lunches with selected New Zealand wine, unique itineraries, very knowledgeable guides and of course travel will be by luxury vehicle.

We will be operating under the New Zealand Wild Escapes banner. We will also be offering a premium range of products through our New Zealand Luxury Escapes brand. As we do in Australia, we will be providing tailor made and customised private charter itineraries. This is where we will have the opportunity to develop some outstanding private experiences. You can view our current selection at www.newzealandluxuryescapes.com

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our partners that have supported our product in Australia, allowing us to expand into New Zealand. It has been extremely humbling. Richard Hughes, our National Operations Manager for Australia has been promoted to the position of International Operations Manager for Australia and New Zealand. Richard and his team will be handling all enquiries for the New Zealand Luxury Escapes product while all FIT bookings can be made right now through tours@newzealandwildescapes.com

Again to maintain the consistency of service, all of our bookings for Australia and New Zealand will continue to be processed through our Sydney office. We look forward to welcoming our guests on board with us soon in New Zealand"

Australian Wild Escapes now becomes extremely unique in being able to provide a consistent small group touring experience throughout the Eastern States of Australia including Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart, as well as both Islands of New Zealand.

Australian Wild Escapes is a family owned and operated company and were awarded the Australian Day Tour Operator of the Year in 2004.
