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.
We loved the Takahe trip. The highlight for us our overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound. The scenery was stunning and the boat was very comfortable. We upgraded to our own cabin which we thought was well worthwhile. The walks were very enjoyable and each was quite different. Our guides, Kim and Emma, were great. They clearly love what they are doing, we're very knowledgeable and prepared excellent meals .
Just finished my 19 days New Zealand trip and I had the best time! The people were amazing and the group leader, Jess, as well. She had a lot of fun facts and my worries became her worries so that I could enjoy the trip the most. I would recommend this trip to everyone and I think it’s the best if you come around 1/2 days earlier so you can get rid of your jetlag before the tour starts. It was amazing!
