Most Creative Trip Planned

“One of my all-time favourite trips I’ve planned was a family adventure to Iceland. It combined true overland exploration with high-end experiences - camping in remote locations, traveling by helicopter to otherwise inaccessible areas, mountain biking across volcanic terrain, and salmon fishing in glacial rivers. It was the perfect balance of luxury and raw adventure, tailored to every member of the family."

What Gwen's Clients say

“Gwen Nicol with Pelorus is the star that makes travel magic happen. From taking the Polar Plunge in Antarctica to watching the Northern Lights from a panoramic igloo suite in the Arctic, floating beside our private yacht in a Greek grotto, or herding cattle in Montana. Gwen has handled every bespoke detail, right down to our beverage choice and appropriate gear that fit like a glove.

So, a toast to Gwen, (just like the toast we made while standing on the glacier that Gwen helicoptered us to with our favourite Scotch – unexpectedly provided by Gwen – with ice provided by the glacier)"

Gwen's Client

Number one unforgettable travel experience?

It’s hard to choose, but I’d have to go with my most recent trips. First, a true alpine adventure in the Dolomites ski touring from one remote mountain hut to the next. Or a comprehensive 14-day safari through Botswana and Sabi Sands, staying in tented mobile camps.

Top of your travel bucket list?

This is a long list but the places I am excited to visit in the next year or two include Trekking in New Zealand, the Arctic to site polar bears and Cambodia for its history and culture.

Who is your ultimate travel partner?

Always my husband and sons as they make everything more adventurous and fun.
