Safe Travels Abroad is a family owned business combining our love for travel and adventure with our expertise in ensuring customer satisfaction. For the past 20 years, we have been travelling internationally and within our beautiful New Zealand. We are now based in Penang, where we immerse ourselves in the culture, nature, and beauty of this magical island.

We bring a range of skills to our boutique travel business - Safe Travels Abroad. In our friendly New Zealand way, we combine our commitment to customer service. Our business development skills have established our network of the very best local providers Penang has to offer. We can also accompany you on your trip if you wish, it’s like having a friend meet you at the airport to show you around. We bring an added sense of security to your experiences from Sam’s background as a UN PeaceKeeper to ensure you only have to think about creating lifelong memories for yourself.

For the past 5 years, we have had two junior members join our team (twins). We have extensive experience in travelling with children in five-star accommodation to backpackers and sharing a room. Our boys now hike, kayak, snorkel, swim and appreciate new cultures. We know the best places to take children in Penang and ways to do it that allow parents to have fun too. We also cater our trips to suit any travellers that may need extra assistance. Let us support you so you can maximise your experiences here. Don’t miss out, we can accompany you and help make your trip to Penang - a memory to remember forever.

If you are short of time, on a stopover, or visiting from a cruise ship, then we are the company for you. We will listen to your priorities and provide an itinerary that will make the most of your time in this beautiful island. Time is precious and memories are forever.

We provide an income for local people while helping you make the most of your time with our Kiwi hospitality. From spotting the near threatened Dusky Leaf Monkey in the rainforests of Penang’s beautiful National Park to meandering around the culture, history, and life in the UNESCO World Heritage site in Georgetown. We would love to show you it all - with a cost-effective itinerary based on your interests and dreams.
