Such an amazing experience! My group was fantastic and it was such a great way to meet so many like minded people. My guide (George) was incredible at ensuring the trip ran smoothly and that we were all having a great time!
Marshall H | Traveled in January
A fantastic trip to a beautiful country. Particularly enjoyed the active components (hiking, biking, kayaking) with an up close view of the flora and landscapes. The CEO was knowledgeable, resourceful, and very pleasant. Despite the long bus rides, seeing so much of the country was an advantage. The population was friendly, gracious and adventuresome. Overall expectations were exceeded.
Rachel G | Traveled in January
I had a wonderful time on the tour and it’s a great way to see NZ, the itinerary was well planned to make the most of each town and NZ’s scenery is so spectacular, every day was another jaw dropping moment
An-Dinh N | Traveled in January
I've wanted to visit New Zealand for decades, and this trip fulfilled my dreams! Such variety of nature, wildlife, scenery and activity; exposure to local mores and cuisine; appreciation and admiration for the country's integration of Maori language and culture; and a fantastic group of fun, kind, like-spirited people adventuring together. The length and pace were just right; I returned home feeling not exhausted but energized. This tour deserves to be the Top Seller it is.
Georgina E | Traveled in January
Excellent tour leader who was the reason the group came together so well. Amazing experiences and places visited. The smaller group size and bus size make it so much easier for getting in and out of places - uncomplicated! and can just focus on the good stuff. And most importantly for me great value for singles - not forking out single supplements if you don’t mind sharing.
Melissa R | Traveled in January
Wonderful highlights of the South Island! The level of activity is moderate, but it can be scaled up with optional activities and extensions of included activities to make it more active. Siobhan was an amazing CEO and made the experience positive and engaging.
