Southern Crossings in the media

A love letter to the amazing team @southerncrossings (and a special thanks to Samantha Thomas who answered all my questions and adapted my itinerary as needed). You made my dream come true. From the tour guides to the drivers, from the accommodations to the flights, everything was perfect. You're the best in your business and I will talk about this adventure for the rest of my life.

To say we had the time of our lives would be putting it mildly.
Your country, its people and your team could not have made us feel more welcome.
Thank you for all the special moments you enabled us to experience.

Where to begin?! We cannot thank you enough for making our dream honeymoon come true. From start to finish it was absolutely perfect and so much more than we ever could have imagined. We still cannot believe how much you were able to fit in and each stop along our itinerary just got better and better. Working with Southern Crossings was - without a doubt - the best decision we made in planning this trip and we know, for sure, that it would not have been nearly the same without your brilliant expertise. … We are so grateful for your support around this trip and hope to work with you all again in the future as soon as we can make it back.

Just completed three weeks of travel in Australia and New Zealand with our 5 kids. Southern Crossings took great care of us by selecting properties that were worth visiting, finding local guides to help us see the sites, and recommending fine dining establishments that were superb. Well done. We would highly recommend their team.

I have worked with a lot of travel companies over the years and I’m happy to say Southern Crossings is at the top of the list. You guys were so easy to work with and so organized and on top of everything. None of those details were missed on me. My only wish is that you covered more areas in the world!!

We used Southern Crossings for our time away in the Northern Territory which has been on our wish list for years. The experience was everything we’d hoped for: from the hotels they recommended to the types and size of the tours they organised. It was perfect for our family. We loved the use of their app for up-to-date information on what was coming up and the places we had visited. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again.

"Our experience with Southern Crossings was wonderful. We really enjoyed the luxury lodges that were presented to us, and the side trips and private tours were really special. Unique and so memorable... Our family trip exceeded our expectations. Thank you Southern Crossings!"

"Their excellent recommendations delivered a trip of a lifetime .. From the itinerary which was delivered in a beautiful book to calling us to welcome us in our first hotel (they) made sure everything was seamless providing an experience beyond our wildest dreams. If you are traveling to New Zealand working with Southern Crossings is a must!"

"Southern Crossings put together the trip of a lifetime...The team was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we received what we asked for and more .. amazing excursions and accommodations that we will never forget across seven locations in Australia and New Zealand.

"Working with Southern Crossings on our Australia / NewZealand adventure was an absolute pleasure. The hotels/resorts we stayed at were world class in service and attention to detail. Excursions were well planned and executed and we were very pleased with the overall trip. Thank you for an exceptional adventure!!! "

"Every tour company, every person and tour guide was excellent! .. I really can't say enough about our experiences. The tour guides were amazing, the places we went were exactly what we had wanted, the food so good ! We would absolutely use (Southern Crossings) again and highly recommend ! "

"Stuart and his team gave my family an absolutely wonderful trip to Australia. Their hotel choices were excellent and suggested activities that were perfect for us ... I would absolutely use them again and would be happy to refer them to any of my friends. We are already trying to figure out our next trip to Australia "

"You really did a phenomenal job planning a fantastic experience for us. We ABSOLUTELY LOVED NZ and cannot stop talking about how we wish we could move there. 🙂 The places you chose for us were fantastic in terms of activities and also top-notch accommodations. You are top-notch and we feel so lucky to have been able to work with you."

"Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations! .. hotels we NEVER would have found on our own .. great advice as to the order and scope of our trip .. went off without a hitch."

"I want to thank you and your team for organizing such a truly magnificent visit to New Zealand! We had a phenomenal time literally from start to finish, with each venue being the kind of place (and lodging) that we felt like never leaving. All the guides, activities and meals were outstanding, and the people could not have been nicer."

"We not only loved your beautiful country but thank you for the choice of amazing and different accommodation. It certainly made our holiday of a lifetime to New Zealand a wonderful experience and we cannot recommend Southern Crossing enough. We have life long memories of beautiful places and magical views around every corner."

"My wife and I used Southern Crossings to organize and book our 17 day trip to the South Island of New Zealand per the recommendation of a friend. We were not disappointed. In fact, this was the best planned International trip that we have completed. All of our lodging and planned excursions significantly surpassed our expectations. "

"My family and I were truly impressed with your services and thought the whole trip was first grade… we felt we discovered a truer side of Australia ... The choice of hotels was also truly perfect for our needs as a family. We enjoyed all locations .. You always do more than the client wants so congrats…and all this, at a reasonable price point."

"Wow! What can I say? I don’t even know where to begin. This was an amazing trip for my family! My two daughters, husband, and I had an awesome time in Australia– many thanks to Stuart for such great planning, execution, and many memorable touches! .. could not have asked for a more memorable holiday."

If I could give Southern Crossings 10 stars I would! .. I found Southern Crossings through Town and Country Magazine and my hopes for a 5-star vacation became reality .. once we had our Zoom with Paul, we knew that we would be in good hands. .. Paul tailored EVERY SINGLE detail of what we were looking for in our trip to our needs. The itinerary was amazing, .. I expressed interest after hearing about a restaurant while in Sydney, and he helped push to get us off the extremely long waitlist. He made sure we had the BEST rooms at each hotel we stayed at .. they seriously are the best of the best.

"The trip to Australia has been perfect; flawless execution at every step. All the resorts and activities have exceeded expectations. We have had an amazing time. As always, thank you for your wonderful work."
