A fabulous taster trip of New Zealand... This trip encompassed everything I had wanted to experience in New Zealand and more - helped by excellent guiding by experienced Exodus leader Ian and supported by Pete - and perfect weather conditions. If you want to see the highlights of both islands at a reasonable price, then this is the trip for you! Just be prepared for long days on the minibus, which are unavoidable unfortunately.
Just finished a 17 day tour around the north and south of NZ. What an experience! Cannot recommend Alex, our tour guide, enough. He was always willing to help with anything and very friendly. The activities were well planned and spaced out enough with free time to be enjoyable. We saw a range of different places around NZ including Queenstown, Auckland, Taupo, Tekapo and many others. We also got to see a Māori village, did hikes and adrenaline packed activities like skydiving and paragliding. Special shout out to Alex and his amazing instrumental sl*t drops.
Amazing trip overall! So much activity and things to do, the guide was well knowlaged and took us to ask the good spots. The accommodation was OK, some places better than others though, but not too bad for hostels.
