Kia Ora, New Zealand! I’m Officially a 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist
I’m excited to share that I’ve officially graduated from the 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist Program—a comprehensive training program developed by Tourism New Zealand to help travel advisors deliver unforgettable Kiwi experiences.
This certification isn’t just a badge—it’s a deep dive into the heart of Aotearoa (that’s New Zealand, in the Māori language), covering everything from world-famous highlights to off-the-radar treasures. After completing this program, I’m better equipped than ever to help you plan a trip that captures the true spirit of New Zealand.
What Makes New Zealand So Special?
Let’s start with the obvious: jaw-dropping landscapes, welcoming locals, and a strong cup of flat white. But there’s so much more—adventure and luxury in equal measure, rich Indigenous culture, world-class food and wine, and an ease of travel that makes every moment feel effortless.
Whether you dream of:
Cruising through the majestic fjords of Milford Sound
Sipping Pinot Noir in Central Otago’s vineyards
Hiking the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro National Park
Soaking in a private thermal spa overlooking Lake Rotorua
Or meeting a real-life kiwi bird (and yes, they’re adorable)
I now have the training—and the insider access—to help you get there.
Why Work with a Certified New Zealand Specialist?
New Zealand may be small, but it’s packed with possibilities. As a certified specialist, I’ve gained valuable knowledge about:
The best routes and timeframes to maximize your visit
Authentic Māori cultural experiences
Scenic rail, luxury lodges, and boutique stays
Sustainable and accessible travel options
How to travel like a local, not just a tourist
I also have access to exclusive resources and supplier connections in New Zealand that allow me to create a trip that’s seamless, meaningful, and tailored specifically to your travel style.
Let’s Plan Your Kiwi Adventure
As someone who’s always had a soft spot for New Zealand, this achievement feels extra special. It’s a destination that blends wild beauty with heartfelt hospitality—and I’d love to help you experience it the right way.
If New Zealand is on your travel wishlist (or even if it wasn’t, until just now), let’s chat. I can promise you this: the Land of the Long White Cloud is every bit as magical as you’ve imagined.
