Christchurch National parks Trips

This trip was a fantasti. way to enjoy a holiday in New Zealand without having to stress about creating my own itinerary, transportation, and accommodation! I joined this tour because my solo travel plans fell through and I cannot be happier that I did.

Great trip. The guide was great, the driver did a great job and the people themselves were friendly and accommodating. The first picture below is with the guide Chantzee after we walked up "the steepest street in the world" in Dunedin, Baldwin street, the second is of Milford Sound.

The Marvel tour was amazing. The tour director Chanthavee was very knowledgeable and gave us a good insight to our surroundings. The coach driver Pete was also very good. Loved the accommodation especially the ones that offered guest laundry service. Maybe at some point the fur seal encounter could be improved as I felt for some members on the tour walking across the rocks and around the rock pools was a bit of a challenge. I feel a viewing platform may be more appropriate for the fur seals safety as well. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore New Zealand, it was a great overview of places to visit.

Bus time was perfect to get to know other members of the group. There was some time to allow us to choose what to do ie go do a walk in the area. Sharing a room was actually great fun and everywhere we stayed was slightly different but we’ll equipped. Really handy not having to look for breakfast as it was included. Activities were great although generally made the trip quite expensive as we were encouraged to do certain ones.

Travelling to NZ for my first Contiki trip/solo travel is one of the best things I could have done. The trip is so well organised all you have to do is sit back, relax and literally enjoy the ride. Both trip manager and bus driver were so much fun and always willing to help and answer any question, make recommendations and make sure you are having fun. This 12 day trip and plenty of sightseeing, inclusions and free time, along with getting to see some of the best of NZ with an incredible group of travel buddies.

Our driver was Simon. We had a great time feeding Donnie the North American horse and then went on to the farm to check out sheep shearing. The view from the farm to the ocean side is mesmerizing. Delicious picnic lunch box is not only taste great but look beautiful. The wine tasting experience was also very 👌 good. If you don't know what to do, sign up this trip - I would recommend my friends and family when they are coming to Christchurch.
