New Zealand Tours in February 2026

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.

We learned about the history of the people and sites. The ancient and current use of the geothermal areas, even eating food cooked in the hot pools was memorable. We rode on 6 different boats in beautiful waterways, seeing native plants and vegetation as well as animal species. The water was glacier blue, clean and clear. Staying in the same hotel for 2 nights in a row, not having to have our bags out early every morning was a treat. We traveled in Land Rovers in the hillsides and rivers of the south NZ island. I loved the Mrs Jones fruit stand stop on the way to the picturesque Milford Sound. Tourists were well received and cared for at all locations. I wished we had more time in Auckland and the north island of NZ. Australia had its own wonderful flavor of living. It was great to experience it as well.

Get social New Zealand was absolutely incredible. Our tour guide, Runty, made the experience amazing, despite some long driving days in the south island. I would recommend this trip to everyone and anyone, particularly if you want a mix of some adrenalin and adventure, scenic views and landscapes and social connections with others in your group.

Tour guide was amazing, the places we saw were definitely worth going to. Bus times were a little long but other than that it was an amazing trip! Glad we did this tour because we got to see so much more of New Zealand.

I highly recommend this trip if you are an avid hiker. This country was one of the most beautiful I’ve been to. The guides both on the north and south Island were amazing. The group dynamic was top-notch. I was unsure about this trip, but I’m so glad that I committed and went on it. I would highly recommend this trip to anybody considering it.

I had the absolute best time in NZ. This was my first time traveling with Intro. Our group leader, Lauren, was 15/10. She made the trip so enjoyable, informative, and stress free. I can;t wait to go on my next tour in September!
