Asked on March 25th, 2025We are 2 senior females want to travel to south part of New Zealand and looking at the your tour 9 days itinerary which would like to join. Question on the share dorm, is it 2 people per room with share bathroom? What is the tour price for March 11, 2026 and should I book thru Tour Radar
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Would you please be able to confirm your ages? Unfortunately the hostels we stay at in New Zealand do not accept anyone over the age of 45, so we wouldn't be able to book you onto a tour there if you are over this age.

Elena
Asked on February 24th, 2025What is the best way to plan onward travel once the tour is finished?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written February 2025

Roger
Asked on February 12th, 2025What time does the tour start and finish?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written February 2025
On Day 1 of your trip, there are no planned activities, so you can choose to arrive at any time. The group meets around 7pm for a welcome dinner, so we recommend arriving before then if possible. On the final day of the tour, there are no activities planned so you can choose to leave at anytime. If you need to head back to the airport, your Group Leader will be able to help organise a transfer for you.

Asked on January 5th, 2025Can I use a private room instead of shared accommodation?

Asked on December 27th, 2024Wanted to ask if you have any partial payment available or pay on arrival part option is available?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written December 2024
You can make payments in instalments on the run up to your trip, however final payments will be due 30 days before the start date, therefore if you are looking to join us in January 2025 full payment would need to be taken at time of booking.

Asked on October 31st, 2024Is it okay to join the tour on 13 Mar to 21 Mar 2025? Will there be airport transfer arrangements? Do Malaysian and Singaporean need to apply visa/ETA to New Zealand?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Flight details require a domestic flight from Queenstown to Christchurch. No airport transfer on final tour day, but group leader can help book taxi. You need to organize visa yourself. First accommodation is Haga House in Christchurch. Check official government website for visa requirements.
