New Zealand — Exclusively for the American Traveler
Bespoke New Zealand itineraries crafted by insiders, for discerning American travelers. Unparalleled access. Unhurried precision.
New York & New Zealand
Tussock is the only luxury travel consultancy that operates from both sides of the Pacific. Our Managing Director lives and works in New York, understanding exactly what discerning American clients expect — while holding New Zealand citizenship and deep personal connections across the country.
The result is an experience no New Zealand-based operator can offer: true insider knowledge combined with the kind of white-glove, face-to-face service that begins long before you board the plane.

What We Offer
Every journey begins with a personal consultation. We listen, then craft a detailed itinerary — day by day, experience by experience — built entirely around your interests, pace, and vision. A preparation fee reflects the depth of this work.
Our relationships with New Zealand's finest lodges, private guides, helicopter operators, and winemakers give you access that cannot be bought off the shelf. We negotiate on your behalf and handle every detail.
For clients considering a deeper connection to New Zealand, we partner with specialist immigration advisors to facilitate New Zealand's Active Investor Plus visa — opening pathways to residency alongside your travel experience.
Our Difference
Most New Zealand travel operators cast a wide net — marketing to the world. Tussock does the opposite. We focus entirely on American clients because we understand how you travel, what you value, and the specific trust that comes from working with someone who speaks your language, shares your time zones, and sits in the same city.
Our Managing Director maintains a New York office and can meet you in person. This is not a website form — this is a relationship.
