New Zealand Adventure Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 12 customer reviews
Absolutely recommendable despite extra expenditures
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“Overall the trip was amazing and with Vaughan we also had a great guide From a fitness level it is absolutely for beginners or intermediate level as only 1 walk was above 12 km The only criticism we're the many motels where no real breakfast is available so you need to calculate for extra expenditures as this will not be sufficient given you will be travelling the whole day Also in the hotels don't expect to much of variety re breakfast And you one note re the itinerary- maybe having the last night in Christchurch rather than akaroa might make sense”
Fantastic!
5 - Excellent
  • Celina Rios
“This tour is a great way to see the major sights in New Zealand. Many optional activities offer for an additional price which you can choose to participate in or not. Our tour guide George, made the trip very memorable. He loves his country and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our group started as strangers and left as friends.”
Really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation

“New Zealand is AWESOME! clean, pristine lots of H2O and lushly beautiful landscape. I'm glad to be with Si group, with his vast knowledge and experience about NZ. He is a mans man and will say things as is, at times funny, he is attentive, well do the extra mile to make sure everyone is OK and safe, and having a great time. Aside from my sunburnt face? I really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation.”

Travel Tips for New Zealand Adventure Tours

  • New Zealand's ever-changing weather means that you will need to pack versatile clothing. Whether you are exploring the Franz Josef Glacier on the South Island or relaxing at Piha Beach on the North Island, pack layers that can help you adapt to diverse conditions.
  • If you have booked a trip that requires you to board a vehicle but the weather takes an unpredictable turn, you can contact the driving operator or the tour company to see if they have a policy for rescheduling or offering alternative activities.
  • If you are looking to rent a bike and ride it along the road, you need to understand that riding a bike (cycle) on the motorway and busy roads is not allowed. You also need to wear a helmet at all times and be well-versed in the local traffic rules.
  • While trekking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing or kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park, adhere to the "Leave No Trace" principles to preserve the environment.
