Beyond the Mainland

Beyond the familiar USA lies a world of Caribbean hideaways, tropical adventures, colourful cultures and extraordinary island experiences.

When New Zealanders think of a USA holiday, destinations like New York, California and Hawaii usually come to mind. But beyond the familiar holiday spots lies another side of America that remains largely undiscovered by Kiwi travellers – the U.S. Territories.

Scattered across the Caribbean and Pacific, these islands offer an extraordinary mix of natural beauty, fascinating history and distinctive cultures, each shaped by local traditions and international influences.

In the Caribbean, Puerto Rico combines colourful Spanish heritage, tropical rainforests, historic towns and beautiful beaches. Explore Old San Juan, discover the island's spectacular coastline by car, snorkel the turquoise waters of Culebra or experience the remarkable bioluminescent bays of Vieques.

The nearby U.S. Virgin Islands offer another Caribbean escape, with white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, colourful marine life and a relaxed island atmosphere.

Further afield, the Pacific territories of Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands introduce travellers to dramatic landscapes, tropical forests, fascinating wartime history and rich Pacific Island traditions.

For adventurous Kiwis looking beyond the obvious, the U.S. Territories offer something different while remaining connected to the USA. From island road trips and cultural discoveries to snorkelling, hiking and simply relaxing beside the ocean, there's another side of America waiting to be explored.

What a great holiday!
A big thank you must go to Andrew and his team at Travel USA for helping us put together such a fantastic trip. We basically told Andrew what we wanted - where we wanted to go, how long we wanted to be away, the “touristy” things we wanted to see, and the music-related places and events we wanted to visit. From there, he listened to what we had to say, offered advice and recommendations, and put together a detailed itinerary that we were very happy with.Of course, the itinerary had to be changed a few times - mostly because of us! - but Andrew was always so obliging, helpful and easy to deal with.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team at Travel USA to anyone planning a trip to the USA. They made the whole process easy and enjoyable, and we look forward to catching up with Andrew again when we start planning our next trip! Thanks again, Andrew - we had an amazing time!

Would like to thank Travel USA for all their help with our trip of a lifetime. The work that Andrew put in to fulfill our bucket list was excellent. The booking of our accommodation and excursions etc made our trip more pleasant and less stressful. Travel USA are a great company to deal with, and we would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you, Travel USA,

Andrew listened to our US travel wishes and delivered an epic detailed itinerary that exceeded expectations. We had a fabulous balance of tourist highlights and excursions that kept us engaged, while allowing plenty of time to explore and experience the local living environment. With Andrew’s expert recommendations and guidance, we achieved far more than we would have by researching and booking by ourselves. Travel USA is highly recommended, and we will definitely engage Andrew and his team for the next US trip.

Ron & Vicki P

We would absolutely recommend Travel USA to anyone travelling to the US. Your knowledge is just amazing, and we didn’t really find anything that you hadn’t already told us about, which is very impressive

Ange & Jono

Hamilton, NZ

We used Travel USA to plan a 3-week trip around the States - we had the trip of a lifetime and saw so much more than we thought we would with Andrew's great recommendations. They are very knowledgeable across all aspects of travel (city passes, best travel routes) and were immediately on hand whenever we had any questions or concerns at any point, even when we were over there. We also loved that Andrew provided such a detailed itinerary for us, including extra information or handy tips. Whether it's planning what to see while you're in the States or the best way to make the most of your time in a specific city, we highly recommend Travel USA.

Andrew and Sean’s first-hand knowledge is what really sets them apart — they know the small details, hidden gems, and all the little nooks and crannies you’d never find in a world of generic, AI-generated itineraries. They’re always quick to reply, and between them seem to know everything — from the best Star Wars experiences at Disney (I had no idea you could build your own lightsaber!), to sipping champagne on the floor of the Grand Canyon or securing the best seats at the Grand Ole Opry. Proper bucket-list stuff – 100% recommend Travel USA.

We’ve been back a week and had time to reflect on what was a fantastic trip to Colorado and Chicago. Thanks for all your assistance with our trip – it was the best US trip we have had so far

Amazing Travel USA - Andrew’s attunement to us resulted in great options. We were provided with responsive communication and efficiency that enhanced our USA plans, so adventure was fun and easy. Highly recommended.

We could not have done it ourselves and Travel USA’s instructions were ON-POINT! We liked the mix of transport that was organised for us ie. bus, ferry and rail which made for an interesting experience. Accommodation was brilliant throughout and the Faraway at Martha’s Vineyard was the most interesting hotel we have ever stayed at – we even had a record player in our room with 2 LP’s - one of them a Bob Dylan album!

Huge thanks to Travel USA and especially Andrew for making our trip so easy and enjoyable! Andrew was amazing from the moment we started planning, he went above and beyond. His knowledge, travel tips, and thoughtful check-ins made the whole trip completely seamless and his attention to detail and genuine care took all the stress out of travelling. Highly recommend Travel USA for anyone wanting a hassle-free, expertly planned adventure.

I have been telling everyone and anyone who says they are interested in travelling to America to get in touch with you as we really had the most amazing time. We really can't thank you enough for your exceptional service during our recent trip to the states. Your attention to detail, organisation, and approachability truly made all the difference in ensuring we had a smooth and enjoyable experience. (The highlight was definitely the pick-up truck you organised - you hit the nail on the head with that one!)

You really paid attention to what we wanted to get out of our trip, and everything was planned in such detail, and ran smoothly. Your expert recommendations were spot on, and we felt so well taken care of the entire time. Thanks to you, we had an unforgettable time, and we’re already talking about planning our next adventure with you to the Yellowstone country! I hope we can work together again soon in the not so distant future 🙂 Thank you again!

We were very pleased with the itinerary Travel USA arranged for us, there was a good mix of accommodation and towns. The travel distance each day was just right giving us plenty of time to do other things each day. Florence was a lovely little town and because we were there on a Friday night, we had the added bonus of enjoying their once a month street markets and open air live music, it was a lovely night. We also appreciated the contact you made while we away advising us of things to pre book etc. There is a lot to think about especially as we were a group of 8 and sometimes 10. We would definitely recommend your services to other people, and by using your expertise it took the stress away from us as a group trying to decide what to do.

Gwyneth M

New Plymouth, NZ

Just wanted to thank you both for your suggestions, hotel choices and how smoothly our trip went with the planning you all did. We had a truly fabulous trip, that suited us perfectly. We said it is actually uncanny how with just phone communications and emails with strangers your selections were just so us. We will definitely recommend Travel USA and will be in touch when we travel to the states again, next time. Cannot rate you highly enough with your expertise and knowledge. With appreciation and heartfelt thanks.

Now that we are back from our holiday to the States, I just want to say thank you for your part in organising an amazing itinerary for us. We had such an awesome time. We loved experiencing New York and everything it has to offer; we were pleased to be staying 8 nights there. The Go City Pass you recommended made visiting each attraction easy and it encouraged us to get out and explore. The rest of our itinerary went without any problems, the accommodation you selected was very well located, making it easy for us to get around without needing transport. We had a lot of fun. Back to the routine of work now - thanks again for everything.

I reached out to Andrew after struggling for inspiration for an upcoming USA road trip. He came up with some great ideas and options I hadn't thought of .... offering itineraries I might like .... a huge resource!

Thank you so much Travel USA!

Andrew assisted me with a group booking of 5 couples travelling to the USA for 5 weeks. They wanted to do a “road trip” through the Southern States and spend time in New York. Andrew’s knowledge of the USA is an incredible asset to people planning to travel here, he put together an awesome route, recommended great hotels in the best locations and had so much information on city passes, things to do and places of interest. As a travel agent I found that Travel USA had the best contacts and information from everything from rental cars, hotels, shows, tours etc and they outlined all of this in very detailed itineraries ready to give straight to my clients. He provided a professional detailed itinerary for the group that went 100% perfectly. Andrew made my job easy, and my clients were extremely happy with their holiday plans. I will definitely be using Andrew and his company in the future and would recommend anyone when planning to go to the USA to use their services.

Caroline N

Travel USA impressed me with their exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and personalised approach prior to my trip. From the initial inquiry, Andrew was responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to understanding my travel preferences. Their planning with thoughtful recommendations showcases a high level of attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of my trip was well taken care of.
