Oceania Group Tours

I left a review when I was in Broome staying a couple of extra nights at Cable Beach Resort.. they did have internet problems so maybe that is why my review has not been received??? The whole trip exceeded my expectations… I was sceptical about going on a bus trip again after one I did in Canada with Evergreen. I chose AAT Kings because they have been doing these tours for years! I couldn’t fault anything & would & have always highly recommend AAT Kings Nellie & Terry were fabulous & Nellies knowledge of the area is astounding!..They made the experience really enjoyable… Nellie helped me with another plane trip that I added while in Broome & I’m so glad I spoke to her about it as it was incredible.

Everything was well organised and our driver and tour leader were amazing. Accommodation was excellent and no complaints at all .

Overall an excellent experience and trip. I was disappointed that the package I secured back in August 2025 was changed without notification to me. In the original package many meals were included, however during the trip I had to purchase several meals as they had been removed from the itinerary. Over $200 worth that should have been included. Graham and Jenny Hinze

Amazing experience so many highlights for me Anna and Ash went out of their way to to make us comfortable nothing was to much trouble for them

It was a nice balance of travel and exploration, having a couple of days in Franz Josef Glacier and Queenstown was fabulous while also exploring lots of Te Waipounamu. Our guide was really passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand and shared her love beautifully. She also managed all our free time add-on activities so smoothly. The coach was comfortable, clean, and expertly driven on some wild roads! The accommodation was clean and well located, though a kettle would have been nice in Queenstown lol.

Highly recommend booking this trip if you want to explore New Zealand. Our trip manager was so informative about the places we were driving through/staying as well as the Māori myths, legends and history. I’d recommend visiting in winter especially between July and early September as there’s more chance of snow in Queenstown and the other towns. The accomodation was good, mostly four per room then in Queenstown it’s a room of 8 pods that were super fun. Super easy to eat a lot and eat healthy with the included breakfasts and dinners. I can honestly say I was never hungry. Queenstown you get food vouchers for fergs for breakfast and they have so much to choose from! There’s lots of free time add-ons to do and lots of adrenaline ones if that’s your thing. I enjoyed the kayaking and quad biking in Franz Josef and the e-bike tour in Queenstown is a must if you want to explore the lake. Fair warning it is about 3-4 hours of biking and you go up and down hills but the scenery is stunning. I would’ve liked another day in Lake Ōhau as there was fog there the whole 24 hours we were there so we didn’t see the lake or mount cook but the three course dinner was 10/10 and it was such a cute place with the fireplaces. We also had to take a detour to Christchurch as the roads were closed from ice and it was sad not going through Twizel and Geraldine. If you’re thinking about doing this trip, it’s a nice one to start with and the views are extraordinary!
