Five ready-made itineraries plus custom builds. Every route below has been driven, eaten and slept by our own team — pick one, hit "Book", and we'll call you back to lock in the details.
All prices are per person and include transport, stays and a local host. Booking is a request, not a payment — we confirm everything with you first.
Our most-booked day trip — the "locals' version" of the peninsula loop with the stops tour buses skip.
The greatest-hits version of Queenstown, minus the queues — with one evening left open for a casino night if you fancy it.
A slow weekend in our home town — Scottish architecture, very good beer, and dinner where the locals actually eat.
The big one. Fiordland done properly — early boats, small groups, and a night on the water you'll talk about for years.
Pinot country with a designated driver, a booked lunch and zero tasting-room roulette. Pairs well with our Central Otago stays.
Our quotes are boring on purpose — no "from $99*" fine print, no surprise resort fees at checkout. When we say a number, that's what leaves your account.
Every itinerary ships with a line-item cost sheet. Ask for one on any trip — no booking required.
Door-to-door in our own vans or vetted partners — fuel, tolls and parking included.
Multi-day trips include accommodation we've slept in ourselves — motels to boutique lodges.
A GlowMavi host rides along on shared departures — driver, guide and fixer in one.
Activities, tastings, dinners and evening extras are reserved before you land.
The Book button opens a quick form. We call or email back within one working hour to confirm seats, dates and the final price.
Pick a trip, drop your name and a contact. Takes about 30 seconds — no account needed.
A planner checks availability and calls or writes back with the exact price and departure options.
20% deposit locks it in. Balance is due 14 days before departure. Changeable, refundable, human.
If we can't deliver the itinerary we quoted, you get the deposit back in full — no vouchers, no credit notes, actual money.
"The peninsula loop with a guide who grew up there beats any bus tour. Penguins at dusk — my kids still talk about it."
"Fiordland expedition was flawlessly organised. Boat, weather calls, backup plan — they handled everything before we noticed."
"Wine trail with a driver is the only civilised way to do Central Otago. Great cellar picks, zero stress, back by six."
Booking specifics live here. For anything weirder — dietary stuff, mobility, drone permits — the contacts page is faster.
