South Pacific Pocket Guide Reviews 

I need advice on a couple of specific matters and they were great. They responded quickly and with great advice.

South Pacific pocket Guide has been prompt and very helpful with answers to my questions.

Very helpful with my outreach queries

Authentic, insightful & wonderful content from these folks. They have always amazed me with their engaging videos, witty jokes and knowledge about everything New Zealand. Even as an incoming international student, i found their reviews to be of real help and guidance. Highly recommended for all groups of people.

A super helpful guide to ease the planning process of your travel. We had heaps of stress and nerves planning but then found the Pocket Guide to really help us make the planning process enjoyable. Would happily recommend it to all ages with entertaining and well detailed information.

What a great website to get all in the inside info on Samoa before my visit. And to reach out and ask a question and have it answered so promptly was fantastic. I'm also looking forward to sharing my experiences with Robin and the team when I get home.

20 Stars - how good was it finding these guys ??
I have asked a variety of obscure questions since wanting to go to the Cook Islands and nothing seems too difficult for them to reply. I can give them 20 thumbs up for their contributions to all. Well done!!

I needed some very specific advice for our upcoming trip to Fiji and South Pacific Pocket Guide came to my rescue. I was looking for information about the Suva cemetery of all things! The SPPG responded quickly and confirmed the information I was looking for with additional tips. I highly recommend them for any trip to the South Pacific you may be planning. Friendly, helpful and accurate and speedy response time. Thank you Robin and Laura!

We accidentally met the two business owners, Robin and Laura, on our first day in Rarotonga. They were super friendly and shared some local tipps with us. Then they had to move on to their next business meeting. Luckily, they left us one of their business cards.

Their „cook island pocket guide“ instantly became our travel guide for our entire time on the Cook Islands! It is full of useful tips for hiking, snorkeling, food and anything else you can do on the island. An amazing travel guide!

Thanks a lot for your dedicated efforts to provide detailed first hand up-to-date information for the islands.

I came across this website while looking for a guide to Lord of the Rings travel. I was surprised to find that there were guides that summarized many rarely mentioned Lord of the Rings filming locations, which gave me a lot of information that I could not collect anywhere else! The descriptions of these tourist attractions were also so professional and detailed, which shows that the website staff conducted very detailed field research.
When I wanted to get more information, I contacted Robin and Laura and received unexpected responses and positive help. Robin shared his rich travel experience and knowledge with me during the discussion. I found his high-level and comprehensive understanding of tourism in New Zealand and the South Pacific region to be amazing. Thank you for your extraordinary work!

Before we started planning our trip to NZ I watched and read NZ pocket guide information via YouTube and the Website and got lots of good and honest information about car rental, places to visit, weather, what to bring etc. Just all the practical information travellers need.
This helped us planning an excellent holiday on the beautiful north island of NZ and I will definitely use their information again when we start planning our trip to the south island.
Robin and Laura host the YouTube channel and have lots of good information available. Check out their channel for live shows with all kinds of subjects that can be helpful when planning a holiday to NZ or Pacific Islands.

A very useful and easy-to-use guide so you can plan your trip. All your travel questions can be answered. In addition, it is very useful that the site is regularly updated with the latest and most relevant information.

This is a great resource that helped me research and plan my trip providing excellent travel tips, local information and suggesting activities and the best places to visit. Highly recommend.

We go to the islands as an extended friend/family group every year. We started using South Pacific Pocket Guide a few years ago just to find popular sunset spots in Rarotonga. Since that first trip, we have used pocket guide every time, more and more each time as we explore different islands. The articles are so thorough and when we mentioned to some locals that we used this site, the locals knew the people who run pocket guide and had great things to say about them. That raised my trust even more, knowing that the pocket guide writers are experts who have actually been to these places and know the locals.

I recently came across these two lovely, energetic and vibrant people earlier this week as one of their YouTube videos popped up in the stream after having watched a different video. If I had found them earlier (missing the 5th star as it would have been good to have found them while googling travel agents and tours in NZ in December), I would be in a lot better headspace.
I am traveling to NZ in April and have been in touch with a number of agencies, some of which responded and others not. It is stressful planning any holiday, but it's even harder and worse when the country you're flying to is 11 hours ahead of where I live and agencies haven't been forthcoming with responses and email talk is once a day.
I sent an email to South Pacific pocket guide with a couple of queries from my side as I pretty much had an itinerary in my head to get their input. To get a response from Rob within 2 hours, I was absolutely amazed and 'wow' considering it would have been about 2am there.
He confirmed one or two things for me and am since reconsidering the itinerary in my head based on his feedback.
Hopefully I'll be in touch again with a few more pointers before I travel.

Good travel guide, planned my trips to the Cooks with them and all the tips were bang on. Not sure if there are any other guides out there for Raro but that's the best I found.

I was interested in the Niue information for a potential holiday. The information on the Pocket Guide site is great and detailed. The you tube videos were the first and best thing I could find to give me a good overview and tips in a short and concise way. I had a question about sharks and the pools, which they replied to in less than 24 hours, a great help on making a choice to travel. The tourist board should give them an award!

Very accomodating
Nice response
Recommendable

The guide is so complete and helpful. They also perfectly answered all my questions and were so nice! Thank you so much!
