New Zealand

This is home. We meet your team at the airport and one of us is with you through Rotorua, Hawke's Bay, Wellington, Taranaki and Auckland, with games against schools and clubs we know.

Our home, our people

Why New Zealand

New Zealand is where we live and where every relationship we have started. Since 2019 we have hosted school and club groups from Argentina here, often with several sports on the one tour: rugby, hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball. Most tours run through the North Island. Rotorua for geothermal country and a Māori cultural evening, Hawke's Bay and Wellington for games and the capital's museums, then home to Taranaki, where your team trains and plays under the mountain. Every match day ends the same way, with presentations and time with the host team. Geoff and Cole plan it and run it in person. Tell us your sports, your level and your dates and we will shape the route around them.

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.
