Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
Awesome tour and guide. Would recommend to a friend. Rooms could be more spacious and linked bookings should be coordinated and end up in the same rooms.
This was our second Nat Geo tour experience and we loved them both. Great pick of scenic and cultural experiences, great guides and well located accommodations. This tour of New Zealand was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

It was one of the greatest trips I’ve been on! New Zealand was beautiful, there is so much to do - the bunjy was incredible. Tash was a super guide and she brought a great atmosphere and warmth to the group.

Overall great experience! This tour really allowed me to see some amazing sights in both New Zealand and Australia. I really enjoyed trying out surfing for the first time and getting to try so many new experiences. Our tour group became like a little family and had so much fun together.

Great overview of New Zealand. , our tour guide really made the trip seamless. Knowledge, kind and considerate. The trip was well planned out and I enjoyed the ability to participate in extra activities during our down time outside of the tour.

I traveled to New Zealand during the Fall it did rain on/off and was beautiful, lush green and clear blue skies. It was nice driving in the country and layering is perfect for this time of year. I liked, meet a Farmer, Milford Sound Day (it was a very long day) but worth it, Queenstown had many restaurants to walk too but take a taxi back it is very hilly in this city. Kiwi Park was fun to do and learn about their animals. Māori Village was awesome as well as Waitomo Caves! NZ natives and service staff were very nice and always helpful in all the places we stayed.
