Customer Reviews
- Elizabeth· March 8th, 2025The guide was excellent. She was very positive and good communicator. The itinerary was fast paced, included great hikes, a fun kayak trip and a half day of biking.Show more
- RODRICK· March 7th, 2025The New Zealand North to South tour was an incredible experience! The itinerary was well-planned, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, cultural experiences, and exciting activities. From the stunning beaches of the North Island to the majestic fjords and mountains of the South Island, every destination exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our tour leader, Peter Fletcher, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and excellent organization made the journey even more enjoyable. His insights and friendly approach added a personal touch, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommended Tour Rod from Malta, EUShow more
- Derin· December 23rd, 2024The guide, Josie, was wonderfully knowledgeable and exceptional driver. She kept us not only in the loop all the time, but also used her personal knowledge living in NZ to our advantage throughout the journey. The only drawback that we have seen is the sequence for Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo's planned day is way too consolidated and the accomodation in Lake Tekapo should be changed to a better available option.Show more

Eva
Asked on January 4th, 2025if we want to go to Hobbiton from Rotorua, how would we get there? Does the tour price include the transportation there, how does that work?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
We cannot book the Hobbiton tour, but it is a very popular site that you are able to book it during free time on Day 15 in Auckland or day 17 from Rototura. We strongly recommend travellers pre-book due to extreme demand for this product and limited suppliers in the area we are not able to assist the travellers in booking Hobbiton once the tour has started.
