New Zealand Adventure tours

Honestly best experience of my life so far!! I love that i really didn’t have to worry about anything at all and if anything came up my trip manager responded to me so quickly. I made so many friends and those people became like my family! Devo that it’s over and wish i could go back right now

Good trip, wonderful scenary. Really good infrastructure for walking in the trails. It should have been a walk at the Fiordland National Park (close to Wilford Sound) We just did a really small portion towards Marian Lake. It would have been different from the other trails that we did

A beautiful country and an amazing experience! The incredible Contiki road team made the trip seamless and ensured we ticked everything off our bucket list! 100% would recommend this trip, you will not regret it!

I highly recommend Intro Travel New Zealand! Honestly it was the best experience i have ever had. The group clicked instantly everything ran so smoothly and shoutout to Danny our group leader it would not have been the same without him. He made the trip perfect being a friend, and so so supportive! I loved Christ church and queenstown the best places wise and i loved the bungee swing the most activity wise. Danny made even the long travels fun by coming up with games to keep us entertained. It ran by so quickly and smoothly i’m so impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Zealand Discovery, Feb - March 2025. Solo traveller. This was a superb tour and absolutely exceeded my expectations which were high! What a stunningly beautiful land Pros: 1. Our tour leader, Runty Jackson was excellent. I've been on several Explore trips and enjoyed good leadership but Runty was exceptional, he was a star! The trip would have been good anyway but thank you Runty, you made it outstanding. 2. The trip itinerary was great and we were able to do nearly everything that had been advertised. 3. Accommodation on the whole was fine. 4. We were lucky with weather so saw New Zealand's highlights, e.g. Doubtful Sound, Mount Cook, Fox Glacier and the west coast in perfect weather. Cons: Nothing major. 1. Breakfasts: These are the only included meals (except for 2 others). Best breakfast without a doubt was at Rotorua- exceptionally good. The Copthorne chain hotels were also quite good. However worst was in Napier. Frankly dire. White sliced bread, no variety of food, tinned sweeteened fruit. A jar of instant coffee. Horrible. The motel next door where we stayed was fine but the restaurant was not!!! 2. Coffee in hotel breakfasts. Again with the exception of Rotorua and the Bealey Quarter, the hotel coffee was not good. This is New Zealand after all, the land that prides itself on its coffee culture. Acturally one of the best breakfasts we had was in Hokitika where the motel didn't have food so Runty took us to a cafe in the town- excellent. Further suggestion By contrast with the rest of the trip, Wanaka was not that interesting, and restaurants were ok but mostly fast food types. Wanaka certainly didn't deserve 2 days. The advertised jet boat ride/ wilderness walk didn't seem to be available. I did take the boat across the lake and it was ok, but it was quite expensive for what it turned out to be. The 'guide ' didn't seem that knowledgable or indeed, interested. Instead I'd suggest at least another day in Abel Tasman National Park which was so, so beautiful. Maybe an overnight stay there and opportunities to walk more and spend more time on the idyllic beaches.

A fabulous introduction to New Zealand. A very varied trip including trekking, sightseeing and cruising. Fairly full on, but it had to be to cover the ground and see everything. Runty Jackson, our tour leader, was brilliant going the extra mile to ensure we had a fab time. He was also very caring when I took a tumble. Thanks Runty. Accommodation was generally fine but nothing fancy, except for the Bealey Quarter in Christchurch which was very cramped. The minibus was OK, but leg room was an issue. All the logistics worked perfectly. We were expected wherever we went. Overall, we had an amazing holiday, loved New Zealand and will use Explore again.
