Thomas Donald Kenny
Travel Dates: October 2023
Traveled To: Australia, New Zealand
Itinerary: Sydney – Port Douglas – Brisbane – Lamington National Park – Sunshine Coast/ Noosa – Fraser Island – Brisbane – Auckland – Rotorua – Taupo – Napier – Wellington – Blenheim – Abel Tasman National Park – Kaikoura – Tekapo – Wanaka – Te Anau – Queenstown – Franz Josef Glacier – Greymouth – Christchurch
Our 8 week trip to Aus & NZ was excellently well planned. The itinerary provided a great insight into Aus plus N & S Islands in NZ. Hayes & Jarvis (H&J) did a great job in compiling an itinerary which was interesting, varied, broad reaching & exciting. We quickly got into the rhythm of 3 day expeditions, with 2 nights accommodation before moving onto the next location, hotel & excursion.Not having visited NZ previously we were very dependent upon H&J input and we have been delighted with the end product. We would recommend H&J to anyone seeking a well planned, varied and exciting long distance exporation of new destinations.A special mention goes to our trip Co-Ordinator, Megan Cena, who did an outstanding job. We always felt Megan was keeping on eye on what we were doing & where we were going. Prior confirmations were always taken care of for us so we could just focus on enjoying the sights & experiences of our holiday of a lifetime.

Traveled To: Thailand, Japan
Itinerary: Tokyo – Hakone – Kyoto – Hiroshima – Osaka – Phuket
We had an amazing trip to Japan and then Thailand for a surprise trip for my Husband’s 50th birthday. We had a hassle free trip, all travel was organised and set out for me to follow with a great itinerary, private guided tours were arranged so we could make the most of our time in each city, we saw some amazing places and have experienced a trip to remember forever. I would highly recommend booking with Hayes and Jarvis

This was our second trip to Cape Town with Hayes and Jarvis and wouldn’t choose anyone else to organise and take care of us on any trip to Africa.

Itinerary: Adelaide – The Ghan: Coast to Coast – Adelaide to Darwin – Darwin – Cairns – Sydney – Christchurch – Wellington – Auckland
Would fully recommend Hayes and Jarvis, this was our honeymoon and they organised and planned it to perfection. All details were covered and our basic itinerary was enhanced by the knowledge of their agents. The choice of venues was excellent and we were very well looked after. It was also the first time I’ve ever been on a trip where there were the services of an experienced manager available for us in case of any issues. This is very reassuring and a really good idea. Well done indeed.

We came over a ridge at dawn to see 20,000 wildebeest poised precariously on a cliff above the Mara river. Within minutes the sight of them thundering across was the greatest natural wonder of our lives. Nothing can compare.
