RICH & ELAINE'S OVERSEAS ADVENTURES: Our trips to Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and Borneo are the focus of this Overseas Adventure Travel site, handy hints and travel tips are all from our 'hands on' industry experience.

NEW ZEALAND: We are totally hooked on New Zealand; we really love this country and have explored all its hidden corners. So come join us for travel ideas and inspiration, we love to share our knowledge with would be travelers and our passion is our natural environment.

LUXURY TRAVEL IN NEW ZEALAND: In our many years of Nature Guiding we have met and guided many visitors to New Zealand. People who have a very limited time and wish to see and do all whilst enjoying a higher level of comfort, see the scenic gems, and hear the stories on a more personnel level.

QUEENSTOWN NEW ZEALAND: Queenstown New Zealand is our town, an exhilarating, year round, international alpine resort, perfect for adventurers and leisure seekers. It is known as the ‘Adventure Capital of the World’ and is overlooked by the rugged and majestic Remarkable Mountains.

NATURE IN NEW ZEALAND:We personally have a huge interest in New Zealand’s natural history, living amongst it in the heart of the Southern Alps and have spent many years guiding visitors and introducing them to our countries special treats we love so much.

WEST COAST ADVENTURE: At least once a year we personally need a West Coast fix. This isolated pristine coast stretches between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, and we never tire of the rawness of the beauty, the pristine rain forests, the wild surf beaches and the icy glaciers that spill into the Tasman Sea.

HIKING IN NEW ZEALAND: Hiking is our passion, we love to share our many years of experience with would be New Zealand adventure hiking travellers, visit our web site and find 'how to' arrange trips, manage transport, resource hiking gear, to make your wilderness adventure a simple easy and well worthwhile outdoor adventure experience.

SPORT FISHING IN NEW ZEALAND: The solitude experienced from fishing for brown or rainbow trout in a back country stream or the wild excitement of catching that big marlin in the sparkling waters of coastal New Zealand are definitely highlights and dinner conversations to your New Zealand sporting adventure.

AUSTRALIA: We have spent many years travelling and devouring this amazing continent of Australia. We love the climate, the diversity and most of all the relaxed, friendly people.

AYERS ROCK ULURU: The mystique and scenic wonders of Ayers Rock Uluru, Central Australia will draw you into the culture and vastness of this absolute Australian outback experience.

TROPICAL NORTH QUEENSLAND: We love our adventures in far north Australia, finding ourselves back again enjoying the winters and exploring this amazingly diverse, friendly special corner of Tropical North Queensland, Australia.

CAPE YORK PENINSULA: Imagine the thrill of being in outback Australia and standing isolated on the most northern tip of the vast Australian continent. It is overwhelming to see the ocean currents surging from east to west and knowing that New Guinea is only 34kms away.

OUTBACK NORTHERN TERRITORY: The outback Northern Territory is vast, sparsely settled and occupies one sixth of Australia’s land mass. Well known for its rich indigenous culture, stunning land formations, excellent fishing, national parks and tropical weather.

VIETNAM: A Vietnam vacation - An over-view of some incredible highlights that make this emerging country the colourful, cultural and action packed overseas travel adventure it is today.

SAPA NORTH VIETNAM: The colourful hill tribes of North Vietnam can be found in and around Sapa, a delightful former French Hill Station 1,600m above sea level in the northwest mountains very close to the Chinese border.

HA LONG BAY VIETNAM: A Halong Bay visit is an amazing experience and not to be missed. It is a highlight of any Vietnam vacation; it is picture postcard, a photographer’s heaven.

MEKONG DELTA VIETNAM: The Mekong River Delta is the rice bowl of Vietnam and yields enough rice for the whole country plus a surplus, farming is intensive and although the region is rural it is one of the most densely populated areas of Vietnam.

MALAYSIAN BORNEO: A Malaysian Borneo vacation is an adventure and cultural experience with rare wildlife and plants all packed into a small space on this wonderful tropical island.

BAKO NATIONAL PARK: A visit to Kuching in Sarawak, a state of Malaysian Borneo, is not complete without a visit to Bako National Park. Very few places have so much natural beauty in such a small area, the range of attractions and activities make Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak.

MOUNT KINABALU BORNEO: Mount Kinabalu in Kinabalu National Park is a 90km drive from the city of Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo. Mt Kinabalu is 4095m high and is the highest mountain in South East Asia.
