Singapore

Small Island, Big Wonders

Your ultimate urban adventure! Ni hao!

Dreaming of a Singapore getaway that’s nothing short of dazzling? A small island nation nestled in the warm waters of the South China Sea - from Marina Bay in the east to Sentosa Island in the west, Singapore is one of Asia’s most vibrant and exciting destinations. Whether you want to explore the Gardens by the Bay, shop at Orchard Road, or enjoy the nightlife of Clarke Quay, our Singapore travel specialists can help you create your dream Singapore escape.

Flight time.

It takes around 10 hours to fly from Auckland to Singapore. This direct flight is a gateway to a city where east meets west.

Best time to go.

The best time to visit Singapore is between February and April, during the dry season. This is when the weather is most pleasant for sightseeing and exploring the city’s many attractions.

Time difference.

Singapore is 4 hours behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to consider during your stay.

I'm seen as a great relationship builder who is passionate about people and their travel adventures. I've travelled extensively both on my own and with my two teenage boys. Rarely go to any place twice as there's too much of the world to see.

I don't have a specific favourite destination as it's all about new frontiers for me and stepping outside of my comfort zone.

I've been in the industry for 20+ years including 5 years working for Air New Zealand where I gained a wealth of knowledge which I'm finding invaluable in the complex world of airfares post COVID.
