At Flying Kiwi, we’re known for our tasty home-cooked meals! 🍝

We take dinner time seriously (consider the food shop and meal plan sorted!), ensuring our crew are fueled for the next adventure.

Cooking fresh, healthy meals together family-style, in stunning locations, is the perfect way to unwind after a busy day on the road and bond with your fellow travellers 😋

Whether it’s a BBQ, homemade pancakes, or our famous spag bol, you’ll always enjoy delish meals, great company, and unbeatable views!

Being an island at the bottom of the world means we’re a little harder to get to! So, if you’re coming all this way, you’ll want to make every moment count.

That’s why we created the Total Aotearoa Tour! 🌏

Over 23 epic days, starting and finishing in Auckland, we’ll guide you through the diverse landscapes of both islands—from tropical rainforests to awe-inspiring mountain ranges 🏔️🌿

We’ll take you off the beaten track to uncover hidden gems and share a truly unforgettable Kiwi experience.
