Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Mexico takes roughly 18 hours with a stopover. A long flight is a small price to pay for the warmth and vibrancy of a holiday like this.
Tacos, temples and total joy
Mexico personifies the word vibrant... a riot of colour, culture and warmth everywhere you go.
Wander through the ancient ruins of Chichén Itzá or Palenque, where you can almost hear whispers of past civilisations. Sink your toes into Tulum’s white sands, snorkel in turquoise cenotes, or throw yourself into the joyful chaos of Mexico City’s markets and plazas.
Food is everything here... from the smoky spice of tacos al pastor to the citrusy freshness of ceviche and the rich, chocolatey depths of mole, every bite feels like a celebration.
But Mexico isn’t just about food and history, it’s music, murals and magic in the everyday. Mariachi bands serenade in the streets, handcrafts dazzle in every colour imaginable, and the warmth of the people is something you’ll carry home with you.
Mexico will wrap you up in a giant hug!

Best time to go
December to April is Mexico’s dry season, perfect for outdoor adventures. With sunny weather it’s the ideal time to enjoy nature and the beaches - but be prepared for party crowds
Time difference
Mexico is 17–19 hours behind New Zealand due to daylight saving in both countries and regional differences. You'll be a bit jet lagged but the spirit of the lovely locals will help distract your tired brain

My travel adventures started back in 2004 when I departed on my OE to Scotland with a stop in Dubai.
I have travelled in all styles, backpacking around Europe, small group adventure travel following the volcano trail in Central America, luxury coach touring in Canada and many family resort holidays through the South Pacific.
I love booking travel just as much as experiencing new and exciting destinations myself.

Always with a smile I will be just as excited and passionate about your future adventures as you are! Originally from the UK I've spent the last 10 years travelling around the globe before finally settling in heavenly New Zealand.
Here I've turned the joy of travel into a profession I love. I enjoy nature, the beach, spending time with loved ones and exploring new places especially on the open road or by cruise.
I believe the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams!
To me, traveling is so much more than a simple trip or relaxing vacation; it is a journey that always leaves me transformed and forever changed by the experiences presented. I have had the pleasure of visiting too many countries to count from backpacking on a shoestring budget around Asia to going all out on a private luxury adventure filled holidays such as trekking Machu Pichu!
My firsthand recommendations will ensure that your destination choices, no matter how uncommon, are always extraordinary. No matter what you are looking for, whether it’s a bucket list adventure or something that completely takes you off the grid, you can count on me to open doors to the most exceptional experiences and enhance every travel adventure.
