LSTC recently organized a two week trip for us to explore NZ’s South Island, and managed to fit in an almost endless array of wonderful adventures. We can’t say enough good things to recommend this agency & look forward to future bookings. Hire them!

Mark Mine
Working with Karen Petitt and the entire Latitude South team set a new standard for professionalism and caring about our travel experience. The customization of our trip to Sydney and New Zealand, based on our interests and budget, was exceptional.
I cannot imagine a more enjoyable trip
Tom Galloway
We experienced the Australian and New Zealand customs, cultures, history, scenery, plants, animals, Indigenous people like no one else that we know that has traveled to either county. Her detailed itinerary was spot on. Without reservation, we would highly recommend Karen Pettit and Latitude South to anyone traveling to Australia or New Zealand.

From the first discussions about what we wanted in our trip to helping us cope with weather-related air-travel disruptions, Karen and her team were marvelous. They guided us to the perfect itinerary that had us enjoying the things we really like in destinations without the giant crowds.

Karen Pettit and her team at Latitude South Travel helped craft an outstanding trip for us in New Zealand.
Mike Ruffer
Karen Pettit and her team at Latitude South Travel helped craft an outstanding trip for us in New Zealand. Booking something sight unseen, albeit with an unfamiliar company can be nerve-racking. But the Latitude South team handled the proposal process graciously and openly entertained any questions or alternate considerations, which was very comforting and reassuring.
Amazing company to deal with
