New Zealand 17 Day 2024 Alex made the trip amazing! I was at first a bit hesitant coming in May as I am a very sociable person and it was a smaller group but he made the whole experience unforgiving and helped ensure a strong group dynamic. The activities were unbelievable - white water rafting, scenic flight, luging but to be honest my favourite part was just soaking up the views in the south! The trip gave a perfect ‘intro’ to NZ as I want to come back now asap!!!
New Zealand and its people were spectacular, as was our trip. We felt well taken care of by our operators. They were very responsive to inquiries before and during the trip. Kudos for their counsel prior to the trip, advising us to spend time exploring areas like The Catlins. Overall, our expectations were exceeded. Highlights for us were private or small tours (Rotorua, Stewart Island, Wanaka) on which we could really engage with our guides and learn. We appreciated the variety of experiences – thrills, nature, hikes, boats, private flights. We especially liked the times when we had solitude rather than big crowds of tourists.
Great tour of the NZ north island, very organised with the option to have your tour leader add on any extra activities you want to do. We also got a lot of working and travelling advice from the tour leader so it’s handy if you plan to live and work in NZ. Highly recommend I had the best week.
