    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The group we were a part of was just exceptional and we loved our time with them. Our guide was knowledgeable, amusing and bent over backward to make our time with him fulfilling, educational and comfortable. Our time wasn't without adversity, as a major road closure altered our itinerary significantly on one day. The alternate agenda turned out to be a fantastic experience. The only downside was that while the overnight accommodations were adequate, a couple were severely cramped for space. This may just be par for the course in New Zealand though and we adjusted accordingly. It was still a 5 of 5 adventure.

      TravelerWritten August 2023

      I would be traveling with my mother who is in her 60s. Just to confirm, we would stay in accommodations where we would each have our own twin bed? But in some cases, the two of us would be in the same room as another group? (i.e., a hostel-type setting)? Just wanted to validate.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten August 2023

      Accommodation on this trip is on twin share basis, and single travellers are paired with someone of the same sex.
