Let the journey be as spectacular as the destination and indulge in the best of New Zealand’s luxury travel options. Using a private jet or charter plane company, you can avoid queues and crowds, and take to the air in comfort and privacy. Perhaps you would prefer to take a helicopter flight to otherwise inaccessible areas deep in the heart of New Zealand. Helicopter transport providers can be found the length of the country.

There is nothing like the taste of a freshly caught fish or crayfish cooked and eaten on deck against a backdrop of clear water and sea air. A luxury yacht charter is essentially your own floating hotel, with all the indulgences of five-star accommodation, but with the added benefits of being able to explore remote islands, hidden coves and beaches, or watching the sun set while you sip on a superb New Zealand wine. Take a cruise aboard Missionhills (www.paihiabeach.co.nz), a 72-foot luxury yacht in the Bay of Islands or charter a private yacht in the Marlborough Sounds with Compass Charters (www.compass-charters.co.nz).

On land, whether you need a comfortable journey from airport to hotel or a chauffeur-driven tour around the country, sit back, relax and enjoy the company of an expert limousine driver. Limousines of New Zealand (www.limos.co.nz) operates a comprehensive service that includes foreign-speaking drivers if necessary. Bodyguard services are available through many limousine companies.
