What our customers ask about this tour
The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- S
Shelley
Asked on September 13th, 2025I need some guidance on booking my tickets before booking this tour. Can I know what time does the tour starts on 15? Or end trip? So I can buy my flight tickets. And where would you recommend accommodation for arrival on the 14th in order to arrive the destination on time on the 15?
Wild KiwiOperator•Written September 2025We depart at 9am on the Saturday from Lylo accommodation, just next to Christchurch airport. I recommend arriving the evening prior and staying the night at Lylo, this is where your tour will depart from the next morning and where your tour guide will be based.
- S
Shelley
Traveler•Written September 2025Can you advise what is the drop off time. Is this back at Lylo accommodation again? Do you know what the weather will be like in mid Nov?
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written September 2025
We generally get back by 3pm. Any flights from 7pm are fine to get. And we can drop you at the airport by then. November is generally pretty good in NZ and will be in the 20's. The South Island is variable on any day i.e generally you need to pack for 4-seasons just in case.

Shelley
Traveler•Written September 2025I dont see the pick up or drop off time/ location information on the itinerary. Can you point to me where i can get these information (for reference)?

Traveler•Written September 2025Is 6:20pm flight enough time? I am not sure how big is Christchurch airport.
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written September 2025
Christchurch airport is not to large. We recommend flight after 7pm just to allow for that extra time just incase there was any delays on the last day that are un planned.

Shelley
Traveler•Written September 2025Will I be given some kind of update or confirmation before the trip?

Asked on July 14th, 2025Any age limit? I am interested this 7 days package
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written July 2025
Wild Kiwi Tours are designed for 18 - 39 year olds years old to give our guests the opportunity to travel with people of their own age. Our Premium tours have been created for a slightly wider demographic of guests but you will still get to experience all the great sights New Zealand has to offer while staying in 3 - 4-star accommodations.

Asked on June 1st, 2025I was looking at the Southern Voyager tour and noticed your suggested age rage of 18-39. Do you ever do any similar tours for more... mature... travelers?
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written June 2025
We offer our South Island Escape tour, one of our premium experiences. It follows the same itinerary as our Adventure tours, but with a few key differences: - Accommodation is upgraded to comfortable 3-4 star hotels - There's no age restriction - Group sizes are smaller, with a maximum of 14 guests (compared to 18) - The tour includes a wine tasting and lunch at the award-winning Mt Difficulty Winery, as well as a Milford Sound Cruise
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written June 2025
The price for our Premium tours is based on a twin-share basis. This means that if you travel with two people, you'd share a private room with an ensuite together. A private single room upgrade is possible for a surcharge of $150 per room and night.

Laurie
Traveler•Written June 2025I am traveling with a friend, so that works out. I was mostly wondering if you had, not a similar trip, but the *same* trip, just geared towards a more mature traveler. My friend will be in her mid-50s when we finally get there and I'll be 67.
- Wild KiwiOperator•Written June 2025
Our Premium tours attract a broad mix of guests, sometimes 30 - 40 years old, and guests in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. We can arrange for twin bedding for you and your friend, that's no problem.
