Update – congrats to Kendra for winning the trip to New Zealand with me in October 2017 – we still have spots available on my next trip in March 2018
Hello all!
In March this year I hosted for my very first group trip around New Zealand with Haka Tours. It was fun and epic and I decided I wanted to do some more.
Last week I announced two more adventure tours with me around New Zealand. The first trip is 12 days and goes around the South Island. This was the same trip I did with Haka Tours way back when in 2013 and it’s pretty much what made me move to Wanaka. You’ve been warned.
From sleeping under the stars in the Abel Tasman National Park to walking beneath glacier to swimming in turquoise lakes to throwing yourself off very high places to drinking wine under the sun in pretty much the most epically beautiful country in the world, I promise it’s going to be amazing.
The second trip is in March 2018 next year and it’s a bit fancier, it’s for 14 days and goes around both islands.
But this week when I was catching up with Haka Tours, I realized I haven’t done a giveaway on here in quite a while.
Can you forgive me?
Well, you better because we’ve decided I’m going to give one of you guys a spot on my October trip around New Zealand with Haka Tours. Wahoo! Come join me for 12 amazing days as I show you all my favorite spots around the South Island.
Here is your chance for a free trip to New Zealand (minus flights, sorry!)
The giveaway will run for the next week and end at noon Wednesday September 6, 2017 NZ time (8pm EST Tuesday Sept 5th). You can enter below on Rafflecopter. Be sure to leave me a comment below and tell me why you want to visit New Zealand! Good luck!
Here’s a little visual inspiration to get you excited!















Never been to New Zealand and it’s always been a spot I’ve wanted to go and eventually live for a few years. I’ve traveled American and seen some of Canada but I’m ready to see elsewhere.
Time to head over to this side of the world!
Most people think love at first sight only applies to men and women; I think it applies to New Zealand. Although I have never been there, I have followed you for years and your photos and life there have made me fall in love with it. I’ve wanted to visit for years, but haven’t found the chance to (although I have visited 65 other countries, which makes not visiting even more of a crime). To go on a tour with a real expert–and someone who loves NZ as much as I do–would be extraordinary. I expect more than just scenery, I expect to be amazed, entranced, enchanted, and bewitched (all in that order). I suck at lotteries, as evidenced by my constant losing at Powerball, but I do hope to get chosen for this. I have been crossing my fingers so much for this offer that they may be permanently crossed, so please don’t laugh when you see me (although I can fit a New Zealand flag in the space between them so maybe that’s a plus). Thanks!
woah that’s awesome!
Umm yes please, NZ is #1 on my travel list, in no small part due to your posts!
thanks!
Hi Liz, I love your site and enjoy following you on social! I visited a kiwi friend in the North island ten years ago and haven’t been back since. I would love to adventure through the south island with you. Thanks for the possibility!
YEs come back to the South Island!
