Singapore

Small Island, Big Wonders

Your ultimate urban adventure! Ni hao!

Dreaming of a Singapore getaway that’s nothing short of dazzling? A small island nation nestled in the warm waters of the South China Sea - from Marina Bay in the east to Sentosa Island in the west, Singapore is one of Asia’s most vibrant and exciting destinations. Whether you want to explore the Gardens by the Bay, shop at Orchard Road, or enjoy the nightlife of Clarke Quay, our Singapore travel specialists can help you create your dream Singapore escape.

Flight time.

It takes around 10 hours to fly from Auckland to Singapore. This direct flight is a gateway to a city where east meets west.

Best time to go.

The best time to visit Singapore is between February and April, during the dry season. This is when the weather is most pleasant for sightseeing and exploring the city’s many attractions.

Time difference.

Singapore is 4 hours behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to consider during your stay.

I have travelled to over 40 countries and I am always plotting what's next - however, the more places I experience, the longer the longer the list gets! I love the anticipation of a new adventure and learning as much as I can from every new journey. I am a self-described travel enthusiast, so being able to talk travel every day and share my passion for travel is a dream come true. I love helping people realize their travel dreams and being able to live vicariously through experiences.

Getting to know my clients and learning what's important to them is something I really enjoy, and helps when creating an itinerary that's is as unique and as special as the traveler.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than a client popping in after their journey with tales to tell of the adventures they've had. I love hearing peoples stories and experiences as every experience is so different - there is no universal truth or one size fits all option when it comes to travel!

For me travel is inspiring and transformative - it allows you to learn more about the world around you, and in the process, more about yourself.
