New Zealand 19-Day Tours and Trips

The trip was an unending variety of activities and experiences; physically tiring but without the stresses sometimes felt in non English speaking countries.  It was a superb trip but 3 weeks is barely enough time and I have returned home with a list of things/places to return and visit again or anew.

We had so much fun everywhere. Too many WOW adventures everyday. My favorite this time would be flying over Milford sound. We had a great group of people and tour guide which makes the experience wonderful

This was an amazing trip to see the highlights of new Zealand. It is full on with long driving days staying in a different hotel every 1-2 days. The walks are mostly short but there a few days of longer walks but these are optional (just don’t miss Hooker valley ) Unfortunately due to the weather we weren’t able to do Tongariro alpine crossing but instead walked to waterfall and lakes which was great

The tour was absolutely awesome! Gavin, our tour guide was exceptional! Made the trip interesting and he was very knowledgeable and took care of his clients. Most awesome part was stepping out of plane in New Zealand and seeing how beautiful it was.

It was a wonderful tour of Australia and New Zealand. All three logistics were perfect from the internal plane flights in Australia, the great hotels in both locations, the buses and excursions. Tour guide Gavin was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed his walk abouts in Sydney, Cannes and Melbourne, banter and informative stories. It was very interesting to hear from indigenous elders about their history. Having group dinners when we got to a new city were much appreciated and the food at all of them were outstanding Enjoyed all our excursions but much to my surprise the camel walk to see sunrise at Uluru was my favorite. Loved seeing the animals that have been rescued in wildlife parks. Petting kangaroos and holding a koala was fun. And learning more about the indigenous on our waka waka boat ride on Avon Lake was interesting too. The sunset at Mt. Cook was amazing as was the clear viewing of Mt. Cook itself.. Would definitely recommend Collette and this tour.

It would be helpful to know that a degree of agility is need on the catamaran and stamina needed for walk at Abel Tasman park. However it was a wonderful experience
