Flight time.
A flight from Auckland to the West Coast of the USA, such as Los Angeles, takes about 12-13 hours. While it’s a long-haul flight, you’ll be arriving in the land of endless possibilities.
United States of play!
Yep, the world would be a pretty boring place without the USA - the land that makes movie stars, has streets paved with their famous names and has homes in Memphis once graced by Elvis.
There’s so much to see and do, with a different experience in every state and around every corner.
For foodies, there is no better place. From the All-American diner to corn dogs at baseball games, you won’t go hungry in the land of Uncle Sam. It’s a huge country, with an even bigger To-do list.
Each state offers a new adventure, a fresh flavour, and another story to tell. From mouthwatering food scenes that satisfy every craving, to epic landscapes and unforgettable moments that’ll have you saying “wow!” over and over again—this is a place built for making memories.
Come and talk to our USA travel specialists and together let’s start planning your stateside adventure today!
Best time to go.
The best times to visit the West Coast of the USA are from April to June and September to November, when the weather is milder and the tourist crowds are thinner.
Time difference.
The West Coast of the USA is 19 hours behind New Zealand. This significant time difference will require some adjustment.

Kia Ora/Namaste/ Sat Sri Akal and Hello to fellow travelers and adventurers! Welcome to the world of travel.
Originally, from the colourful landscapes of India and now completely wrapped in New Zealand's breathtaking beauty, I'm excited to introduce myself as your dedicated travel consultant with 8 years of experience. My passion for travel inspired an interest in me at a young age, that encouraged me to pursue a master's degree in travel and tourism administration.
Being an Indian woman, I have seen both New Zealand's and India's vibrant cultures and amazing natural beauty. With a passion for exploration and cultural exchange, I bring a unique blend of experiences to craft personalized and memorable travel journeys.
Whether you dream of exploring the bustling markets of Delhi, relaxing on the tranquil beaches of Goa, or embarking on an adventure through the majestic mountains of New Zealand, my goal is to turn your travel dreams into reality. From navigating the complexities of international flights to discovering hidden gems off the beaten path and the roads less travelled, I am here to ensure your travels are seamless and filled with joyful moments.
Let’s create memories that will last a lifetime, because with the right guidance, the world truly becomes your oyster.
