As you travel around New Zealand there will be heaps to see and do. You will also have the choice of a variety of optional activities. Don’t feel limited to these options, just chat with your Guide and they will be happy to make recommendations and get you booked into any activity you are interested in!
All activities are optional. What's wonderful about this is that it puts you in the driver's seat to craft your own adventure. You get to choose which activities you'd like to include in your tour, or perhaps opt for some free time to explore the area at your own pace, like embarking on a scenic hike.
As part of making the tour zero-stress, your guide will handle the bookings of all of your activities for you whilst on the road, so all you have to do is decide what to tick off your bucket list first.
We hold allocations on the most popular activities to ensure that you don’t miss out on anything whilst on tour or to pre-book your activities.
If you have any further questions about your tour, please email [email protected] or book in a call with one of our team. If you or anyone you are travelling with has any particular health needs or allergies let us know.
