Asked on November 11th, 2024We have 4 passengers interested in this tour, however, their ages go from 35 to 55 years old, Is it possible for them to take this tour? Does it have an extra cost?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Unfortunately the hostels we stay at in New Zealand do not accept anyone over the age of 39, so we wouldn't be able to accept any bookings over this age I'm afraid.

Asked on October 30th, 2024What is the difference between the NZ Intro North and NZ Adventure North tour package?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written November 2024
NZ Adventure is an amazing 9 day group tour showing you the best of either the North or South Island, and we also have a 17 day group tour that does both islands if you want to cover it all! The NZ Adventure trips are perfect for those travelling on a tourist visa and want to kick start their backpacking adventure. The trips include amazing experiences throughout the islands, including adrenaline-pumping activities, cultural experiences, and some chill time, plus we'll help you organise your onward travel within New Zealand afterwards. NZ Intro has all of the amazing inclusions of the NZ Adventure trips, plus we will set you up with everything you need to live, work and travel in New Zealand, so it is perfect if you are coming on a working holiday visa! We'll sort your NZ Bank Account, set you up with an IRD Number & NZ SIM card. Plus you'll get access to our INTRO Jobs Program, unlimited job finding assistance and help to plan and sort all your onward travel around New Zealand.
