Expedi Explore Tour & Travel was founded by a team of experienced hospitality professionals with one clear mission: connect discerning travellers with New Zealand's finest licensed luxury hotel resorts with the expertise, service and peace of mind that no booking platform can provide.
New Zealand has one of Europe's most regulated and prestigious luxury hotel landscapes 50 licensed venues, all situated within four-star and five-star hotels, all supervised by the tourism standards. Yet navigating this landscape finding the right property, securing the best room category, accessing VIP floors, organising a private event can be complex.
Expedi Explore Tour & Travel was created to remove that complexity entirely. We maintain direct relationships with resort operators including Century Signatures, Inc. (Signatures New Zealand), Medella SA and Wintoro. Our team of New Zealand hospitality specialists handles every detail from first enquiry to post-stay feedback.
We are not a booking engine. We are not a comparison website. We are a personal travel consultancy and every guest we serve receives a singular, attentive level of service that transforms a luxury hotel stay into an unforgettable experience.
We work with a curated selection of New Zealand's finest properties not every venue that will pay a commission. If a hotel doesn't meet our standards of hospitality or legal compliance, we don't feature it. Our reputation is built on trust, not transactions.
Every property in our portfolio holds a valid tourism standards resort licence. We monitor licences, hotel classification changes and operator updates continuously. Our guests never unknowingly visit a venue in regulatory question.
Responsible entertainment is not a footnote for us it is embedded in how we operate. Our team is briefed on responsible entertainment practices, and we actively provide guests with guidance and resources as part of every booking.
No two guests are alike. Whether you are planning an intimate anniversary, a 200-person corporate gala or a private poker evening, our concierge team builds the experience around you not around an algorithm.
Our team has spent years building relationships with hotel management, resort floor supervisors and event catering teams across New Zealand. We know which dining room has the best kitchen that evening, and which table gets the evening light.
We serve guests from across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas navigating New Zealand documentation requirements, language, cultural nuance and resort entry formalities on their behalf, smoothly and proactively.
