Kiwi Kaboodle – Nova Scotia Tours and Travel
Judging by the name of this tour outfit, Kiwi Kaboodle, you have to believe that at least one of the people involved is from New Zealand. And you would be right. Greg Inglis is from the south seas and has brought his many years of travel expertise up here to Nova Scotia. He and his wife Trudi own and operate a tour, travel and event planning company based in Mahone Bay. It is seasonal, opeating in the summer but in the off-season by request.
In addition to all these activities the company also runs daily shuttles during the summer season connecting the South Shore as far as Lunenburg to Halifax and the airport. So for travelers to Nova Scotia this is a welcome relief from the cumbersome and not-so-user-friendly bus routes.
A custom tour operator is a tough business in which to get a foothold but the Petersens have it covered in that they can do almost anything requested of them in the name of travel and events. They will even arrange a wedding for you if you need one! In addition, if you are relocating to Nova Scotia they will pick you up at the airport, arrange for an apartment and even help you get a mortgage! (I might use this service!)
Anyone can hang out a shingle and claim to be a tour guide. I’ve seen lots of people do it and then learn the job on someone else’s nickel. I know because I’ve done it, although I did have some prior knowledge from a friend who was a guide. However, Greg has not only traveled (You’d have to in order to get from the South Seas to here!) but truly far and wide. This includes a long stay Africa where he was a tour guide. Now, I’ve never been to Africa but anyone who can be a guide there can guide for anyone anywhere!
The point is that Kiwi Kaboodle has the experience. And this is necessary when people are putting their holidays and their very lives in your hands. People Spend a lot of money for vacations and don’t want to end up with a bush league driver with a rusty van. KK’s vans are licensed by the utility board and are well-maintained.
Their newest operation is a backpacker’s hostel just outside which keeps them busy the whole year round.
So on your next trip get hold of Greg or Trudi and let them help you plan the entire Nova Scotia vacation. Whether its a bus-load or just you I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
