Our Family While working on his family farm on a small town in New Zealand's South Island, Greg decided to spread his wings before settling down. His adventures began in London, where Greg found himself working in London's Finance & Futures sector. Then, on a whim, he swapped his office and tie for the wilds of Africa working as a tour guide and driver for a number of years, where he eventually met Trudi -- his future bride. Trudi Petersen is a Nova Scotian, and she worked in the legal professional as a paralegal/legal executive in Nova Scotia, London and, finally, New Zealand, when she and Greg married and had their first child -- daughter Shani, born in 2000. Deciding their future looked brighter in Nova Scotia, they packed up shortly after Shani's arrival and moved back to Trudi's home town and Kiwi Kaboodle was born -- since then they have been promoting Nova Scotia to a wide variety of travelers from backpackers to corporate international travelers. After years traveling on everything from dirt roads in Africa, Middle East and Central America to the highways and rail of Europe and North America Greg understands the needs and desires of vacationers. He uses his own travel experiences to create quality tours and vacations that you can depend on. They now have a second daughter: Jacquelyn (Jaqs), born in 2002. Like their family, their business is also growing and has gone from offering guided tours of Nova Scotia to arranging vacation packages, organizing conventions and planning weddings and other events.
Our Company Kiwi Kaboodle is a tour, travel and event planning company based in Nova Scotia. We offer a wide range of services to help you in planning and booking your trip to Nova Scotia -- whether you are an individual travelling on your own, a couple wanting a romantic getaway, a whole family looking for family entertainment or even a business wanting to have your convention hosted in Eastern Canada, we will ensure your visit to Nova Scotia is unforgettable. We use our own traveling experiences to create tours and vacation packages which we consider to be the best available. We offer a complete range of services: our guided tours are full service tours which are tailored to suit your requirements. With a maximum of six people, we are able to accommodate your interests -- maybe it's multiple photo stops or a picnic lunch in a secluded fishing village or beach; stopping in Halifax on a cruise ship and want a customized tour while you're in port; perhaps a shopping trip, visiting some of the fantastic crafters, folk artists and craft shops throughout the province. Our vacation packages are carefully planned. With personal contact and inspection of the accommodations and restaurants we use, we ensure that you get the best facilities available. The packages listed on this site are only a selection of what we have available. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, please complete our questionnaire and we will ensure you get the vacation you desire. We are pleased to offer an event planning and conference service: Planning a wedding? A special anniversary party? A family reunion? We can take care of all the arrangements and provide you with a host of suggestions to keep everyone busy. We can stage your conference in a variety of locations from a sailboat or an island in the waters of Mahone Bay to a first class resort. If you want to plan a successful and memorable event, we will ensure everything is taken care of in a creative fashion so it will not be forgotten. We also operate a relocation service -- we can take care of all the arrangements, ensuring your transfer or move goes smoothly. We can pick you up at the airport, take you on city tours to assist you in finding an apartment/house and arranging your lease/mortgage, show you around the city and suburbs so you can get a feel of the area, and answer any questions you may have from local restaurants, taxi services, bus services, schools, et cetera. If you're coming to Nova Scotia, we can take care of your needs, whatever they may be. Browse through our site, or contact us and we will do all we can to help.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and to learn a little about us. We invite you to share some of the natural beauty which surrounds us in New Scotland. Please contact us if you have any questions about us, our services or our website! Kindest regards, Greg, Trudi, Shani & Jaqs
