Amazing trip managed, bus driver had such a great attitude and was great when things went wrong. Beautiful tour, so many fun activities to do, and so many lifelong friends made!
Leilani C. | Traveled in May
I appreciated the inclusion of the indigenous tour guides throughout the tour. It helped me to better understand the many contributions they made to the the history of Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed on how the government has valued the culture of these indigenous people by collaborating their beliefs into the many buildings, parks, and politics of the cities. I also enjoyed the host dinner I attended. Margaret was an awesome hostess. She shared her home grown vegetables as well as used the apples from her tree to make a delicious apple dessert that made me appreciate the time she put into make our visit special. We shared a lively conversation about many things throughout the evening. It's these experiences that I will remember most of all.

Collette does an excellent job at providing land tours. They have active itineraries that provide a great combination of local tours and free time to explore on your own. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about local customs, traditions and points of interest. Their online app is excellent for communicating the daily schedule, local points of interest, local dining and local maps for each area where you spend a night. They have a good combination of provided group meals and meals on your own to explore and enjoy at your own pace.
Sue R. | Traveled in May
Fantastic tour, we enjoyed everything. Would definitely recommend it if you don't want the hassle of driving yourself. All the hotels were clean and comfortable and it was good that breakfast and several evening meals were included We visited so many amazing places and saw spectacular scenery everywhere. We didn't do many of the optional activities as so much was included already but I really enjoyed the jet boat trip on the Haast River.

What a wonderful trip! Gorgeous scenery, good food, Maori culture, Lord of the Rings opportunities, wildlife, and great travel director and driver. The locations chosen offered a nice variety to see different parts of both the north and south islands, learn about the agriculture and farming, as well as the history of the country.
