Active Adventure Vacations & Tours

We had a fabulous time celebrating my 75th birthday in New Zealand and Bora Bora. Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic to work with. She was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns and even checked in with us numerous times while we were on the trip. I'd highly recommend her and the travel company when traveling to New Zealand or French Polynesia.

The Zicasso travel company was outstanding. They provided the exact trip experience we had hoped for. We wanted to avoid crowds and all the tourist hotspots. We wanted to see the countryside and meet people where they lived and worked (as much as possible as tourists). 

During planning, our agent was very patient, supportive, and responsive to our interests and desires. She was very flexible and amazingly helpful in identifying locations and activities that we would like, and another agent did a great job putting all the pieces together for us. 

The vendors they arranged were all top-flight. The drivers and tour guides were always on time, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to do whatever we wanted. The lodgings were consistently the best in quality, location, and service. They all included phenomenal breakfasts that ensured I would not lose weight on this trip! Everything went off smoothly and we could not have asked for a better experience.

Zicasso once again provided us with an amazing team to handle every detail of our "bucket-list" trip.

This adventure had a lot of moving parts and our travel agent performed like a Swiss watchmaker! Eight flights, with pick-ups and drop-offs that were on time, every time, even our 3am departure to the airport in Cairns.

We had scuba-diving excursions on both coasts of Australia, a helicopter tour and landing on the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, trips into the rainforest at both destinations, incredible boutique hotels, and interesting tours that made our itinerary a lifetime memory. 

If there was a six-star rating, our travel agent should get it. Highly recommended. Pre-trip communication was excellent as the trip was a year in the planning. We had not one issue during the 21-day trip. I can't stress that enough; not one issue. It was an absolutely amazing trip. Thank you, Zicasso team!

We had a fantastic trip and a great Zicasso travel agent.

Zicasso’s travel agency did a great job on the itinerary for our trip to New Zealand and Australia. They were very attentive and in touch with us throughout the development of our itinerary, while keeping within our budget and time constraints.

Thanks to the amazing, perfectly planned Australia and New Zealand vacation itinerary provided by Zicasso's travel agency, and specifically the travel agent and her wonderful colleagues, this was the perfect vacation. We were well taken care of and flights were planned within the countries, with someone always greeting us at the next stop to move us through to our next adventure.  

We were always busy and saw the most wonderful things... a sunset dinner cruise on Sydney harbor, the march of the penguins at Phillip Island (she arranged for us to have a front-row seat!), snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and touring the rainforest with an Aboriginal guide was very interesting! She arranged for many tours and activities, like a jet boat ride up the Dart River, a helicopter ride onto a glacier, and a TranzAlpine train ride in New Zealand. We also had a first-time-ever encounter with a pod of orca while on a boat tour in New Zealand. The whole trip was an unforgettable experience!

We wished we had taken the travel agent's advice and stayed longer. There was so much to see. We packed a lot into our four short weeks thanks to them. We highly recommend using them to plan your Australia and New Zealand itinerary.
