- ARAngela· April 9th, 2025The NZ South Island tour was amazing. Our group lead Tommy was really helpful and always willing to share his knowledge of NZ. Overall the 9 day South Island trip was so much fun and we visited some really beautiful destinations.Show moreTrip date: April 2025
- CECelyn· July 3rd, 2024The tour was amazing, Sean kept everyone’s spirits high with his jokes. The actual landscapes were breathtaking, so I would 100% recommend. Our days were mostly packed with fun activities, or we were left to do things on our own. But overall we did things as groups. I love The Lord of The Rings, so this tour was perfect as it was full of locations from the films. Will definitely be booking another tour soon.Show more

Luis
Asked on January 28th, 2025Can we bring our 14 year old daughter with us on this trip
INTRO TravelOperator•Written January 2025Our trips are for over 18's only, however we can allow 17 year olds to join us with a signed parental consent form. Unfortunately, as your daughter is younger than the allowed age, we will not be able to get them booked on a trip at this time. But we look forward to welcoming them when they turn 18.

Luis
Traveler•Written January 2025You don't allow even with parents on ?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written January 2025
The hostels we stay at only allow bookings for those aged 18 and over, which is why we're unable to accept anyone below this age. You may, however, find a suitable tour with either G Adventures or Intrepid, as they may allow under 18s to join.

Asked on January 26th, 2025What does it mean when it says on day 6 that they will help me get signed up to the NZ Jobs Program? I am only interested in doing the 9 day group tour of New Zealand.
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written January 2025
This is for those who are looking to do a working holiday in NZ, are you looking to join us for a vacation or for a working holiday?

Traveler•Written January 2025I have booked the NZ Adventure South tour as I'm only interested in coming for a vacation, not to work at this stage.

Asked on January 16th, 2025How many participants have signed up for the trip so far? How old are the currently confirmed participants? Where are the participants from? How will we be transported during the trip?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written January 2025
Currently we have only 1 space left on our 21st February date with 17 booked. Majority of the bookings are in their 20s and 30s so you'll fit in perfectly! We use a mix of public buses and private mini bus throughout the tour and the participation waiver will be available once your booking has been confirmed.

Kerry
Asked on July 17th, 2024How many people are per room in the hostel accommodation? Is it possible to switch to private accommodation rooms in the hostels and how much would this cost?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2024
Dorm rooms usually have between 6-8 beds. A private room upgrade would cost an extra $1200 AUD. We room you with someone of the same gender and try to match similar ages. Group members are in hotel rooms for a limited time due to daily activities.

Kerry
Traveler•Written July 2024Please send me a quote with a room for two in a private room in hostels
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2024
For a private room upgrade for the NZ south trip, it will cost an extra $1200 AUD if available. We will need to check availability with local operators before confirming.

Asked on July 6th, 2024I'd like to know what the difference between the "Adventure South" and "Intro South" tours are. I saw that the itinerary is the same, but the prices slightly differ.
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 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.

Asked on March 22nd, 2024Just wonder if they take anyone older than 35.
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written March 2024
Unfortunately our hostels in Australia and New Zealand do not accept anyone over the age of 39 so we are unable to accept anyone over this age for these trips.

Henry
Asked on August 9th, 2023I was interested in one of your tours and noted that the age group is 18-39. I am a single individual age 52 that is very active and physical fit, would I still be book this tour or do you have to be under 39?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written August 2023
Unfortunately this trip is a bit stricter on the age demographic as most people on this trip tend to be in their 20's. The trip is also in multishare accommodation in hostels with a strong adventure and social dynamic. For those reasons we are unfortunately not able to accept your booking. You could try travel with Intrepid travel or G Adventures though!

Kevin
Asked on July 16th, 2023We are family of four. age ranging from 14 to 51. Can we go for this package?
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written July 2023
Unfortunately we have a minimum age of 18 to join any of our tours.
