About KWH Journeys
A New Zealand-Owned Family of Specialist Travel Brands
KWH Journeys brings together a family of specialist travel companies creating personalised journeys across New Zealand and Australia.
Founded by Kathy and Wayne Hansen, the group has grown from first-hand experience in touring, travel planning and destination management. Each KWH Journeys brand focuses on a different style of travel, while sharing the same commitment to local knowledge, personal service and carefully planned experiences.
Founded by Kathy & Wayne Hansen
Kathy and Wayne created KWH Journeys from a genuine love of travel and years of experience exploring, guiding and planning journeys throughout New Zealand and Australia.
Rather than building one company to serve every type of traveller, they developed a group of specialist brands — each with its own focus, expertise and style of travel.
Today, the KWH Journeys family includes private touring, luxury travel, Queenstown day tours, New Zealand holiday packages and tailor-made Australian journeys.
Local Knowledge Makes the Difference
Our businesses are operated by people who know the destinations we sell.
From choosing the right route and accommodation to understanding realistic travel times, seasonal conditions and the experiences that are genuinely worth including, local knowledge influences every journey we create.
That practical experience helps our travellers enjoy itineraries that not only look good on paper, but work beautifully once they arrive.
One Group. Specialist Expertise.
Each KWH Journeys brand has been created for a specific type of traveller:
New Zealand Private Tours — personalised private journeys throughout New Zealand
Timeless NZ — bespoke luxury New Zealand travel
Remarkable Scenic Tours — private and small-group touring from Queenstown
Australian Custom Tours — tailor-made journeys throughout Australia
New Zealand Package Holidays — carefully planned New Zealand holiday packages
Because our brands share experience, destination knowledge and trusted relationships, travellers benefit from the strength of a wider travel group while still receiving the specialist attention of the individual brand they choose.
Our Approach
Personal Travel, Planned Properly
We believe good travel planning starts with understanding the traveller.
Your interests, preferred pace, accommodation style, budget and expectations should shape the journey — not the other way around.
Across the KWH Journeys family, our teams focus on thoughtful planning, genuine local knowledge and personal support from the first conversation through to the journey itself.
