Steven

Steven founded Beyond The Blue on a straightforward belief: that the best travel experiences are the ones that simply could not have happened without someone who knew the right people. In 25 years, that belief has produced a private fireworks display on a Northland peninsula for a milestone birthday, a closed Australian golf course opened for the day with a chef on site for lunch, and a Queenstown course whose entire grounds team agreed to start 30 minutes early so one client’s morning could go to plan. He has flown to meet clients to hand over medical equipment. He has arranged a full in-room makeover at short notice for a client flying home on New Year’s Eve. He will tell you that none of it is extraordinary. It is just the job done properly.

What People Are Saying

I had intended to e-mail you today to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip, which was a lot. We really appreciated all of the arrangements you folks made for us. The half day of fishing was superb – the guide, Chris Brennan, is definitely a keeper (pardon the pun). Just a delightful guy, and an excellent fishing guide. And the candle-lit dinner that night was one of the memorable experiences

Western Australia, South to North

Western Australia is so large that most visitors only ever see one corner of it. We covered two — the wine country in the south-west and the rugged outback.

South Island Deep Dive, Mountains, Fiords and the Wild Edge of Stewart Island

If the South Island is the dramatic half of New Zealand, this trip leaned all the way into the drama.
