My husband and I recently returned from a fabulous trip to Australia and New Zealand arranged by Vanessa Massey from Down Under Endeavours. She provided us with suggestions and information on where to go and what activities were available. She then put together a detailed itinerary for 26 days. We were able to dive the Great Barrier Reef, hold a Koala, feed kangaroos, tour Melbourne, Kangaroo Island and Sydney. We then flew to Queenstown New Zealand and drove North on the west coast of the South Island. We took a boat to the Doubtful Sound, a helicopter to a glacier and ended the trip in beautiful cabins in the woods near Able Tasman National Park. Vanessa arranged all the flights. Drivers arrived to transfer us to and from the airport. All hotels, tours and excursions were expecting us. We followed the itinerary and smoothly moved from one place or activity to another. It was set up perfectly! We can’t thank Vanessa enough for her assistance. It was a worry free trip of a lifetime.

DUE's employees from Katie Marta our travel planner to Shannon Bradley who spearheaded our changed travel plans were great.

It was confirmed in December that the trip I hoped to take with my husband and three adult children was a go! Just three months later the five of us, from four different points of origin, left for a two week trip of a lifetime to Australia and New Zealand! Thank you, thank you Audra! I started planning this trip myself because that's what I love to do but it quickly got too big! Audra arranged for all of our flights, our transfers from each airport to hotel and back, our excursions and as importantly to me, the three bedroom accommodations so we could all stay together. She did all this including airfare (and we did many exceptional things) within my budget! I was so pleased with that; she was so familiar with the areas we planned to see! Then New Zealand closed its borders because of the coronavirus! Audra and her contact in Australia notified us first, rescheduled our flights and got all five of us back home, this time to Chicago since my children were all "working from home". My family and I were free to enjoy our last two days in Sydney as planned while Audra and her team took care of our details. Honestly, I can't imagine what I would have done on my own without her/their help! We had the time of our lives and plan to complete the New Zealand itinerary next year! Thank you for everything Down Under Endeavours! And especially Audra for such personal care!

Down Under Endeavours was excellent every step of the way. Our trip to Australia and New Zealand was superb with every excursion, hotel accommodation, and travel arrangement not only of great quality but well organized and reliable. They even arranged for front row seats at the Australian Open tennis which made the experience even more memorable. Our D.U.E representative was Audra who was just great and so insightful and a pleasure to work with. We recommend them highly for anyone planning a trip to this region- they helped make this a truly special experience.

I really liked how Down Under Endeavours works with you to customize your trip so you can enjoy a vacation of a lifetime. I had some very specific things I wanted to do on the South Island of New Zealand & with Audra's help, I was able to put together a self-driven, epic roadmap of adventures that exceeded my rather-high expectations. Her insight, knowledge, and recommendations were invaluable and I would highly recommend using Down Under Endeavours to anyone who doesn't want to settle for some pre-packaged itinerary. Figure out what you want to do, where you want to go & how long you want to stay, and let DownUnderEndeavours pull it all together for you!

Audra, did an amazing job planning our trip to try and hit all the requests. Also, she was really good at adjusting our plans pretty short notice to meet the needs of my wife's pregnancy. We will definitely look to use the company again for future travels.

Shannon was our travel agent and she was absolutely awesome! The vacation was amazing! She did a great job incorporating all of the things we love to do and see. She was also very responsive and helpful anytime we needed anything. I would highly recommend this company if you’re considering a vacation to Australia! :)

I can’t speak highly enough of working with Downunder Endeavors to plan our holiday in New Zealand. The activity vendors they book with are top notch making all of our excursions out of this world fun. Many thanks to Vanessa for putting together a fantastic trip!
