What’s Included in this costings and itinerary creator?

  • Total costings
  • Average costings per person

  • Tracking against your target budget
  • A graph to visually show where you’re spending money
  • A real-time currency converter
  • Conversions between NZD and your home currency

  • Helpful links

Take a Look at What’s Inside…

  • Spreadsheet showing activity costs with columns for location, island, and pricing details.
  • Spreadsheet showing a travel itinerary with no activities planned for multiple days.
  • Spreadsheet showing vacation expenses with fields for currency and vehicle costs.
  • Spreadsheet showing travel costs per person and per day with zero dollar values.
  • Packing list with checkboxes and dropdowns for travel items and quantities.

I am enjoying the spreadsheet. I wasn’t sure if I was going to try yours or not since I have my own but I wanted to give it a go for more streamline and less chaos. We haven’t gotten into the nitty gritty with what we actually want to do though so your spreadsheet is super helpful to compare prices of things in one spot and then make the itinerary based on that.

    It’s perfect for me! I love it! Love the breakdown for group and then per person too 🙌🏼 The packing list is super helpful too!

  • Such a great document…

    The NZTT team have created such a great document to help plan and organise travel to New Zealand much easier rather than having to manage multiple documents. Everything’s in one place and easy to use.

Please note, this planner is designed for people who would like to plan their travels independently. If you plan to have a consultation with me, we probably won’t use this format due to time constraints in our call. Instead, we recommend consultation clients download our basic planner for free.
