The Story Behind Mīharo Journeys - A Modern Travel Agency

Mīharo is a word in Te Reo Māori that means to wonder, to be amazed, to feel delight and awe. It captures that quiet, powerful moment when you arrive somewhere and everything just feels right, the space, the energy, the beauty.

That feeling is the heart of Mīharo Journeys.

Kia ora, I’m Ken, avid traveller and founder of Miharo Journeys.

Travel, for me, is about design, culture, and the small details that make a stay unforgettable. With a background in architecture and a love of aviation and beautiful hotels, I see travel through a lens of style and flow, creating journeys that feel seamless and memorable.

At Mīharo Journeys, I help busy travellers find curated hotel stays and bespoke experiences with exclusive perks and personal service. You’ll always work directly with me - no call centres, no algorithms, just honest guidance and quick support.

Travel isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love.
