We went on a long holiday to Australia and New Zealand with Pickyourtrail. Managing the trip, giving everyday updates, and 24*7 support was amazing! Their app was really informative too. We didn't have to open google or ask anyone around for help since Pickyourtrail got it all covered.Maheswari Mahi, Trip to New Zealand

Join me on an exhilarating journey through New Zealand, where thrill and tranquility meet in the enchanting region of Rotorua. Just a short visit of 2 nights and 3 days is all you need to immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and vibrant Maori culture. From bubbling mud pools to erupting geysers, Rotorua is a natural wonder waiting to be explored.

Highlights of the Destination

  • The mesmerizing Champagne Pool, renowned for its vibrant orange and green hues.
  • Witness the dramatic eruption of the Lady Knox Geyser, shooting water over 20 meters high at 10:30 am daily.
  • Stroll through the Artist’s Palette, a painter’s dream of colors formed by the mineral-rich waters.
  • Experience Maori culture firsthand with local performances that bring the historic past alive.

Travel Tips for Rotorua

  • Make sure to wear comfortable shoes for exploring the park’s well-maintained trails.
  • Arrive early to catch the Lady Knox Geyser’s eruption and enjoy the quieter surroundings.
  • Stay hydrated as you navigate the geothermal wonders; there's a small café on site for refreshments.
  • Always remain within marked paths and heed safety warnings, as the geothermal areas can be hazardous.

Conclusion

Planned my first trip with PYT to New Zealand. Splendid experience with the destination and PYT team. Took a self drive trip and no major hiccups. What I liked about PYT was the experience before the trip started. In terms of planning, VISA, logistics, they were more then accommodating with my requests. The communication with their support staff on the app is seamless too, they help you with a ton of things to do and on spot booking as well. All in all, will definitely recommend them!

We planned a family trip to New Zealand in May 25 with Pickyourtrail and had a memorable experience. The planning of the tickets, places, activities and visas and Especially hotels selection was good. Had support from 247 team in case of any need while traveling. The Pickyourtrail app is also very user friendly and captures all docs and vouchers in one place. Very happy. Special thanks to Rashmi, Amit, Prem and Sandhiya. Shilpa

I had planned my New Zealand vacation via Pickyourtrail in May 2023. Starting from guiding me with the tour dates keeping visa issuance time period in mind, to helping me secure Visa with prompt followups with the Embassy, the Pre-Trip support was amazing. While on the trip, their 24*7 customer support was very prompt with timely trip & Activity intimations to resolving issues then and there. There was a small mistake with the cab planning where the cab drop was arranged for Queenstown while it was supposed to be Christchurch. The support team was very timely in coordinating and getting it changed with the Rental Service Provider else we would have gotten stuck as it was almost closing time. Now coming to the post Trip, Pickyourtrail ensured to follow up with me and get the refunds done with a few days despite waiting for my request. On the whole it was a crazy ride for me in New Zealand and all thanks to Pickyourtrail and it's team for making my first international vacation memorable.

This is my honest review of my experience with PickYourTrail whose services my partner and I used to book our memorable New Zealand honeymoon. Right from helping us with understanding our personalities, our trip goals, our budgets, and timelines and building an itinerary based on all these inputs, Sivarohit was extremely helpful and proactive. Vijay from their Visa assistance team was prompt and ensured we got our visas perfectly in order and in time. Special shoutout to their support team: Chandramouli, Shreyah, Anith, Selina, Gaurav, Taniya, and Naveen who were available round the clock to help us with any queries (no matter how big or small) as well as regularly checking-in with us via the in-app chat to ensure we were doing okay. There were a few minor glitches (but overall, that's hardly a concern in the larger scheme of things). Right from the flights, to the choice of hotels, activities picked from the best quality providers, as well as the great self-drive rental cars that we got, the team did so much of the heavy-lifting for us so that we made the most out of our vacation. Can't wait for our next vacation with PYT!
