This is a fabulous itinerary! So many wonderful included activities too. New Zealand is incredible. Our guide was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and kept things running smoothly. This is our 3rd Trafalgar tour and we've never been disappointed.

I had so much fun on this tour/trip, this was my first Contiki and the trip manger was amazing, if any of our activities were cancelled because of the weather they would get us on another activities if we wanted to. The views at y the destinations and going between the destinations are breathtaking. The coach was always clean and the driver was amazing the whole time, don’t know how they didn’t get motion sickness with how windy the roads are.

In spite of unforeseen weather conditions, the tour adjusted and adapted to provide a great experience for my wife and I, allowing us to enjoy a beautiful, varied and fascinating country and people.

Excellent tour, guide and coach driver. Tour guide had to revise trip while on the trip due to crazy weather. We still had a great tour and a good time.

We did the 17 day tour of North and South islands in New Zealand. Our driver Simon and Guide Gus were excellent. Accommodation and excursions met our expectations. Would recommend this tour. Thanks AATKING.

An amazing and unforgettable experience exploring the breathtaking South Island with an awesome group of people. This was my first Contiki and international solo travel and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Contiki and our trip manager Brad made planning and organising the trip effortless and the locations, activities and transport were sensational. I cannot recommend this trip enough!

Planning tips for solo travelers to New Zealand

Safest destinations in New Zealand for single travelers

Beyond its stunning landscapes, New Zealand radiates a relaxed, “no worries” spirit that makes solo travelers feel instantly at ease. In Wellington, friendly baristas and taproom hosts often strike up conversations, while late-night walks along the well-lit waterfront feel as safe as daytime strolls. Auckland’s multicultural neighborhoods—from Ponsonby’s chic cafés to Mt. Eden’s village vibe—welcome solo explorers with open arms and minimal risk of petty crime. Queenstown pulses with adventure-driven camaraderie; as a solo traveler you will always find another adventurer to swap stories over après-ski craft brews. Hiking trails are safe under vigilant search-and-rescue teams. Even in smaller hubs like Nelson, locals pride themselves on looking out for visitors—whether guiding you to a tucked-away winery or helping catch the last bus home. Reliable public transport, and swift emergency services further underscore why single travelers consistently rave about New Zealand’s safe, inclusive, and effortlessly sociable atmosphere.

Cost of traveling to New Zealand alone

How much would it cost to travel in New Zealand as a solo traveler varies depending on the comfort level you desire and the itinerary. Budget-conscious travelers can manage on roughly USD 90 per day, covering hostel stays, self-catering meals, and public transport. For added comfort, including boutique hotels, guided excursions, and dining out, expect daily expenses of about USD 200–250. Bookmundi’s solo tours to New Zealand typically start around USD 120 per day, providing shared accommodations, organized transfers, selected meals, and exciting activities. Single travelers wanting private accommodation usually encounter single-supplement fees, clearly outlined in tour details. For the extra costs not mentioned in the itinerary such as extra meals, refreshers, souvenirs and tips, you should set aside at least USD 80 per day.
