I have been booking with Planet Earth Travel since they started for 23 years, they are very attentive and they follow what schedule I really want, especially when my family of 11 came over. I’m so pleased with their service. Thank you Mareng Edith, Ninong Bob and staff. “I Salute you all” That’s why I highly recommend Planet Travel as always.

Planet Earth Travel is one of the best travel agencies in New Zealand. I have been a long time customer with Planet Earth since 2006. I love how the company is not just a travel agency but it is also very family orientated and they deal with customers as friends. Not only are Edith and the team very welcoming but they are very knowledgeable and informative with whatever plans you may have. I have booked with Planet Earth when we first went to Europe and because of their service it made my holiday much more secure and a very enjoyable experience. I always book with them whenever I go to the Philippines as the knowledge and advice they provide is outstanding. They make you feel important and will go out of their way to prioritise you and your family to have the best holiday experience from the beginning to the end. They are also very helpful whenever you are booking for somebody from the Philippines to come to New Zealand. I recommend Planet Earth to everybody.
