From the neon-lit streets of New York City and the open roads of Route 66, to the lost city of Machu Picchu and the thundering waters of Iguazú Falls — the Americas offer some of the world's most iconic and diverse travel experiences. Whether you're dreaming of a classic American road trip, a South American adventure, or a cruise through Alaska's breathtaking wilderness, Ann can help you plan every detail.

Cruising the Americas

Alaska's glacier-carved coastline, the sunny Caribbean, and river journeys through some of the most dramatic scenery on earth — the Americas are extraordinary by sea.

South America

Ancient wonders, vibrant cities, and breathtaking natural landscapes — Machu Picchu, Iguazú Falls, Rio de Janeiro, and Patagonia all await on this remarkable continent.

The USA

Endless possibilities — from Hawaii's volcanic paradise and Alaska's icy wilderness, to New York City's electric energy and the legendary open roads of Route 66.

The USA

An unforgettable tapestry of experiences

The United States is a vast and endlessly fascinating destination — with so many states, all uniquely different, it truly offers something for every kind of traveller. You can't get more opposite than the tropical paradise of the Hawaiian Islands with their volcanic landscapes and vibrant culture, compared to the rugged, icy wilderness of Alaska, teeming with glaciers, grizzly bears, and endless summer daylight. This incredible diversity is what makes the USA such a compelling destination to explore.

  • New York City — catch a Broadway show, explore world-class museums, or simply soak in the electric atmosphere of Times Square. The Big Apple never disappoints
  • The West Coast — from the charm of San Francisco to the glamour of Los Angeles, the Pacific Coast Highway hugs California's stunning coastline with dramatic cliffs, charming beach towns, and unforgettable ocean views
  • National Parks — Yellowstone and Yosemite are bucket-list experiences in their own right, and barely scratch the surface of America's extraordinary natural landscapes
  • Route 66 — the iconic Mother Road stretches across eight states, offering a nostalgic dive into classic Americana, quirky roadside attractions, and a timeless sense of freedom
  • Florida, Nashville & New Orleans — sun-drenched beaches, legendary live music scenes, and Southern hospitality that's hard to find anywhere else

The USA is also a popular stopover hub for journeys to Europe and beyond — making it easy to combine a few days of American life with a longer itinerary. Shopping, sport, culture, nature — you name it, the USA can offer it.

South America

Ancient wonders & vibrant adventures

South America is a continent of unparalleled vibrancy, where ancient civilisations meet modern metropolises and breathtaking natural wonders unfold around every corner. For Kiwis, it's an increasingly popular and accessible adventure — closer than you might think.

The primary gateway from New Zealand is typically Buenos Aires, Argentina's captivating capital, often dubbed the "Paris of South America." Flights via LATAM from Auckland through Santiago make connections straightforward. Many popular tours combine Argentina and Chile, taking in the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia, the vibrant port city of Valparaíso, or even the mystical Easter Island.

  • Iguazú Falls — straddling the border of Argentina and Brazil, these magnificent waterfalls are an absolute must-see. Witness the sheer scale of this natural marvel from both sides for completely different yet equally spectacular perspectives
  • Peru & Machu Picchu — explore the colonial charm of Cusco, the sacred Urubamba Valley, and the mystical lost city of Machu Picchu itself. Whether you trek the famous Inca Trail or take the scenic train, the experience is truly profound
  • Brazil — from the vibrant rhythms of Rio de Janeiro, the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, and Copacabana Beach, to the dense biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil is an explosion of sights and experiences
  • Beyond the highlights — Bolivia's otherworldly Uyuni Salt Flats, the unique wildlife of Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, and the historical richness of Colombia all deserve a place on the list

Another excellent way to reach South America is via North America — a great opportunity to incorporate a city break in Los Angeles, Vancouver, or New York before continuing south.
South America is a vast continent and to make the most of your time, exploring guided tour options is highly recommended. Ann can help you find the right operator, itinerary, and combination of destinations to suit your travel style and timeframe.

Why the Americas should be on every Kiwi's list

ANN's picks

"America is packed with iconic experiences—from the hustle and bustle of New York to the bright lights of Las Vegas and the nostalgia of Route 66. Whatever your travel style, there's something here to tick every box."

Alaska

America's last frontier — by sea

Alaska is one of the world's truly great cruise destinations — and one of the most spectacular ways to experience it is from the water. Glacier-carved fjords, humpback whales breaching alongside the ship, bald eagles overhead, and scenery so vast and untouched it's genuinely hard to put into words.

Cruises typically depart from Seattle or Vancouver, sailing through the Inside Passage — a breathtaking network of waterways, islands, and coastal towns including Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. It's a completely different side of America, and one that stays with you long after you return home.
