    The tour should have been advertised as3 days and not 4 … very misleading and I would say false advertising. An additional night should have been spent in the Bay of Islands. Accommodation in Auckland was below par … bad internet and some common areas filthy, ie showers had mold and kitchen was disgustingly filthy. The tour leader Connor was amazing, he was responsible, accommodating and just an all round great asset to the tour company!

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2023

      On this trip, the group arrives in Auckland in the early evening, usually between 5:00 - 7:00 pm. This time may vary a bit, as most of the afternoon is spent on the road so it would depend on driving conditions, rest stops etc.

      Would it be possible to be dropped off at City Life Apartments on Queen Street? Would I be collected from an Air BnB on Victoria Street West or would I need to walk somewhere for the pick up?
