Trip planner questions
Is the AI Trip Planner really free?
Yes. Draft, change and redraft as often as you like.
Which trips can it plan?
New Zealand, Australia, or both in one trip, at the pace you choose.
Where do the drive times come from?
Every leg is routed on the real roads, so the times are what you will actually drive, before stops. Allow extra for photo stops and winding roads.
Is "Ask Michael" in the planner the real Michael?
No. "Ask Michael" is the planner's AI travel assistant. To talk to Michael himself, book a consultation.
Does the planner make bookings?
No. It drafts your route; you book your stays, car and activities yourself, directly with each company.
