New Zealand — Exclusively for the American Traveler
Bespoke New Zealand itineraries, built on local knowledge.
Access. Advice. Adventure.
New York & New Zealand
Tussock Travel is a luxury travel advisory operated from New York City by a New Zealand-born Managing Director with deep personal connections across the country.
We understand what high-end American clients expect, and aim to provide rare access, immaculate service, and face-to-face itinerary planning that begins long before you board the plane.

What We Offer
Every journey begins with a personal consultation. We listen, then craft a detailed itinerary — day by day, experience by experience — built entirely around your interests, pace, and vision. A preparation fee reflects the depth of this work.
We connect you with New Zealand's finest lodges, private guides, helicopter operators, and winemakers, for access that cannot be bought off the shelf. We handle every detail.
For clients considering a longer-term connection to New Zealand, we can introduce you to licensed immigration advisors and specialist legal and tax firms experienced with the country's Active Investor Plus visa. Tussock Travel does not provide immigration advice; we simply connect you with the qualified professionals best placed to guide your application.
Our Difference
Many travel operators cast a wide net: marketing to the world. Tussock Travel does the opposite. We focus solely on American clients, because we understand how you travel, what you value, and the trust that comes from working with someone in your time zone, reachable when you need them.
Our Managing Director maintains a New York office and can meet you in person.
Start the Conversation
Whether you have a clear vision or simply a curiosity about New Zealand, we begin with a conversation. There is no obligation — only possibility.
