Enhancing Your Travel Journey

Uncover your next adventure with Skymate -simplifying and enhancing your travel experience through expert guidance and personalised service.

Founded in Queenstown, Passionate About Adventure

Skymate was founded by Paras Kundra with a passion for adventure and a vision to offer unforgettable travel experiences. We began with our flagship Milford Sound bus and cruise tour -one of New Zealand's most iconic journeys -and have grown from there.

We believe travel is more than just a journey -it's an experience that transforms and enriches lives. It's about the connections made along the way. From our first Milford Sound departure to the hundreds of travellers we've taken across New Zealand and beyond, that belief has never changed.

We welcome travellers aged 14 to 100 -solo adventurers, families, couples, and school groups. Our team listens to what you want out of your trip and crafts the perfect itinerary, handling every detail from airport transfers to hotel accommodation and unique local tours.

Experiential Travel

Travel transforms and enriches lives. We go beyond sightseeing -every itinerary is designed to create genuine connections with the places and people you encounter.

Personalised Service

Our team listens to what you want from your trip and crafts the perfect itinerary. No two trips are the same because no two travellers are the same.

Quality Without Compromise

High-quality guides and transport on every booking. We personally vet every tour, hotel, and vehicle we offer. If we wouldn't recommend it to our own family, we won't recommend it to you.

Responsible Tourism

We are committed to sustainable and responsible tourism practices -protecting New Zealand's extraordinary landscapes and culture for future generations.

Everyone Welcome

We cater to solo adventurers, couples, families, and school groups. Whether you're 14 or 100, there's a Skymate experience designed for you.

Always There For You

Our team handles every detail -from airport transfers to accommodation and local tours. A real person is always available to help before, during, and after your trip.

What is included in a New Zealand tour booking
Each tour clearly lists what's included and excluded on the tour detail page. Most day tours include return transport from Auckland, guided activities, and entry fees. Multi-day tours typically include accommodation and some meals. Please review the inclusions list carefully before booking.
Can I cancel or change my booking
Most tours offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. Changes to dates can usually be made subject to availability. School group bookings have different terms -please contact us. We strongly recommend travel insurance for all bookings to cover unexpected events.
Are the tours suitable for children
Many tours are family-friendly and welcome children of all ages -Coromandel, Bay of Islands, and Shire Film Set are particularly popular with families. Some adventure tours (Tongariro Alpine Crossing, blackwater rafting) have minimum age requirements. Each tour page specifies the minimum age and group type.
How do school group bookings work
School and educational group bookings are handled by our dedicated team. Contact us at info@skymate.co.nz or 022 160 2606 with your school name, proposed dates, number of students, and interests, and we'll prepare a tailored group proposal within 24 hours. Permission forms and teacher-to-student ratios are arranged as part of the booking process.
Do you offer travel insurance
We strongly recommend travel insurance for all bookings. While we don't sell insurance directly, we can recommend trusted NZ travel insurance providers. Please ensure your policy covers tour cancellation, medical costs, and personal belongings.
Can I bundle a tour with flights and accommodation
