Tell us where you are thinking of going

Do you sell holidays or take bookings?

No. ARIKI HOLIDAYS is an editorial travel guide. We recommend destinations, seasons and the kinds of places to stay, and you book directly with hotels, airlines or an agent of your choosing.

How do you choose the destinations you cover?

We publish a place when we can say something useful about when to go and how to do it well. We would rather run thirty six guides we stand behind than a thousand we do not.

Are your recommendations paid for?

No hotel, board or operator pays to appear in a guide or in ARIKI PICKS. If that ever changes for a specific piece, it will be clearly labelled on that page.

Can you help me plan a specific trip?

Start with Plan Your Escape, which narrows things down by the feeling you are after. If you still have a question, write to us and we will point you at the right guide.

Do you work with tourism boards and hotels?

We are open to conversations with partners whose approach matches ours. Use the form below and mark your message as a partnership enquiry.

Something in a guide is out of date. What should I do?

Please tell us. Opening hours, ferry timetables and road closures change, and reader corrections are genuinely welcome.
