The easy first tour
Why Australia
Australia is the simplest way to take a New Zealand team overseas. The flight is short, the opposition is serious about its sport and there is plenty to do between games. Our Australian tours run up the east coast. Sydney's beaches and harbour, the Gold Coast, then Brisbane, with a game in each place and training and sightseeing in between. We have planned school cricket around Brisbane and the Gold Coast too. Visiting teams from further away can pair Australia with a New Zealand leg and see both countries on one trip.

Information for Parents
Before you ask
Questions, answered
How far ahead should we plan?
For schools, 12 to 24 months gives the best fixture and venue options. We can move faster when needed.
How much does a tour cost?
Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.
How does the planning process work?
It starts with a conversation with Geoff or Cole, usually on a video call, about your team, your sport and your dates. We come back with a proposal and an honest price. Once you confirm, we lock in games, accommodation and transport. Match details are confirmed with the host schools and clubs at least three weeks before you leave, and you get the final sports schedule at least two weeks out.
What is included in the price?
Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.
How long is a tour?
Anything from 7 to 21 days. Two weeks is the most common, which leaves time for four games and a proper look at the country.
How big can our group be?
We host groups of 20 to 100. Larger parties usually travel as a boys group and a girls group on their own coaches.
