Already planning your time in New Zealand or Australia? Make one day extraordinary with a private day tour, designed and hosted entirely around your party.
Our Private Day Journeys bring the same depth of curation we put into our multi-day itineraries into a single private day. Your vehicle, your guide, your party only, from Auckland into volcanic Rotorua country, across Auckland’s wild west coast, deep into Central Otago’s closed-door wine country from Queenstown, or through Sydney’s harbour city at its most private.
Every tour in our day journey collection is fully designed, privately yours, and bookable directly online. No shared vehicles. No strangers. No compromises.
Every element of your day — the transport, the guide, and the experience itself — is private to your party.
South of 34° journeys are private to your party, hosted by a dedicated driver-guide, and limited to no more than ten adults. What differs across our three tiers is the depth of the experience, the accommodation, the access, and how far we take you beyond the obvious.
Premium covers New Zealand at its most essential, Dunedin’s Scottish heritage, the silence of Doubtful Sound, a private encounter with kiwi conservationists at the West Coast Wildlife Centre, with a level of privacy and pace no shared itinerary can deliver.
Luxury goes further, a private lunch with a Kaikōura chef whose kitchen just won the world’s best rural culinary heritage experience at the 2026 Global Culinary Travel Awards, a jet boat run deep into Mount Aspiring National Park, a guided walk through the ancient Whirinaki rainforest, with accommodation that matches the landscape around it.
Ultra Luxury is for those who want New Zealand experienced through relationships, not itineraries. A private high-country sheep station hike in Wanaka, with views across the Matukituki Valley, Mt Aspiring, and Rob Roy Glacier. A Velskov experience of shinrin-yoku and foraging, the meal that follows hosted and served by a Māori elder.
All three begin with the same question: what do you want to feel at the end of it?
We are bringing the same standard of privately curated, pre-designed Journeys to Australia, with the first collection arriving August 2026. From Sydney’s harbour grandeur to the sacred monolith of Uluru in Australia’s Red Centre, the ancient Daintree Rainforest, and the coral wilderness of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia rewards those who travel it with intention.
In the meantime, our first Australia Day Journey is live now.
With 13 years of deep New Zealand expertise and more than 1,600 guests hosted, South of 34° now brings the same standard of privately curated, pre-designed Journeys to Australia. Two remarkable countries, one uncompromising approach.
