Tours › Group Scouting Trip
Decide about New Zealand with people doing the same thing
14 days, 14 travelers, 8 cities. You'll walk the neighborhoods, price the groceries, and sit with the questions — next to a handful of other families weighing the same move. Some say New Zealand can feel isolating, but these tours build a community from day 1!
Who this is for
-
You're seriously considering a move, not idly curious.
-
You (and your partner) want to see it together and compare notes with others.
-
A mid-career change is on the table and you want to meet people who've made it.
-
You'd rather not plan fourteen days of logistics yourself.
Not this one? If your dates are locked, or you'd rather not travel with people you haven't met — look at private trips instead.

Who's usually in the group
We get a mix of young families and empty nesters. Mostly couples doing mid-career switches or looking for a change of pace to something more "Lord of the Rings"
