    I had a great time and most things where well organised. The only thing for me was that when booking some of the optional activities you had to miss out on regular activities for example the Huka Falls.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten 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, 2024

    What is the difference between the NZ Intro North and NZ Adventure North tour package?

    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten 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.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      The only start date we have in December for our North Island tour is the 2nd December. We do not run our trips over the Christmas & New Year period. If you are interested in joining us on our South Island trip, we do have a 9 day tour departing on the 10th December which would finish on the 18th December which would fit within your timeframe.
