A private road journey is one of the most rewarding ways to experience New Zealand. Travelling at a relaxed pace, you'll discover the country's diverse landscapes, hidden gems, and iconic destinations while enjoying the comfort of a journey tailored entirely to your interests.

As your driver and host, I take care of every detail from start to finish, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the experience. With the freedom to adjust plans along the way, we can linger longer in places that capture your imagination and create a journey that unfolds naturally.

Whether you are seeking a day of exploration or an extended adventure across Aotearoa New Zealand, I look forward to sharing my homeland with you and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Private Road Journeys

Experience New Zealand at your own pace

Discover New Zealand through a fully customised private road journey, designed around your interests, preferred pace, and travel style. As your driver and host, Lance takes care of every detail, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the landscapes, culture, and experiences that make Aotearoa unique.

Whether you're seeking a week-long exploration or an extended adventure across both islands, every journey is tailored exclusively for you.

Road Journey

Multi-day journeys ranging from 7 to 28 nights, exploring the best of New Zealand from Auckland to Christchurch or vice versa. Every itinerary is custom-designed, combining iconic destinations with lesser-known local experiences.

Point-to-Point Travel

Private transfers between New Zealand's major centres, turning travel days into memorable sightseeing experiences rather than simply getting from A to B.

Port-to-Port Excursions

Personalised shore excursions for cruise ship guests, designed around your ship's itinerary and interests. Meet your host at the port and return with time to spare.

Cycle NZ

Ride some of New Zealand's most spectacular cycle trails while we take care of the logistics. Luggage transfers, accommodation coordination, refreshments, and support are all included.

Private Day Excursions

Ideal for guests based in Auckland or Tauranga who wish to experience New Zealand's highlights in a single day with a dedicated local host.

Unlike traditional touring, your journey remains flexible. If a destination captures your imagination, there is time to linger. If a hidden gem presents itself, plans can adapt. The result is a relaxed, personal experience shaped around your interests rather than a rigid schedule.

A journey like no other

To deliver an extraordinary road journey, you need a vehicle that delivers an exceptional experience for the driver and passengers.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Mazda CX90 delivers this experience.
