What our customers ask about this tour
The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- B
Bill
Asked on December 29th, 2024What does "private vehicle" mean? Do we have to rent a car?
National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024Private Vehicle would be the included transport for this trip, which would be comfortable coaches with air conditioning for the whole group.

Rhonda
Asked on July 20th, 2024Regarding the meal plan, it is stated that there are 22 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 2 dinners included. However, my guest requires lunch and dinner daily, similar to breakfast, and they exclusively prefer Jain meals only. Could you please confirm if this arrangement is possible?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2024
Generally, all meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give your client the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what, and with whom to eat. It also gives them more budgeting flexibility, though generally, food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable them to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. Should you client wish for Jain meals only, we can leave a note on their file with this request so that the CEO can take this into consideration when recommending restaurants. This is on a request basis and not a guarantee.

Danielle
Asked on March 13th, 2024I am 6'4" tall, will there be king size beds for my wife and I, non dwarf seating on planes & buses? Our final flight leg will be from Tahiti to Auckland. Please confirm that leaving Tahiti on 8 September will get us to Auckland on 7 September due to IDL date change. We would like the options for Lake Wakatipu, Great Ocean Road and Blue Mountains. What is the severity of Yellow Fever and Japanese B encephalitis? Which tour hotels have laundry facilities or services? Do laundry facilities use coins, currency, credit cards? Are bleach or laundry soaps available?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2024
This tour uses standard 3 star accommodation, rooms are based on double occupancy with twin or double beds. Upgrades are not available as the tour is sold as a package. Flights to and from the start of the tour are up to the individual traveller. The tour start date is September 7. Lake Wakatipu, The Great Ocean Road and the Blue Mountains are all a part of this tour. For information on Yellow Fever and Japanese B encephalitis please check with the Centre for Disease Control or your local travel health clinic. Laundry can be done at least once a week while on tour - most cities have laundromats where you can buy soap and wash your laundry in coin-operated machines. Your CEO (guide) will advise you along the trip where you will be able to do your laundry.

Asked on October 22nd, 2023I would like to know if the price of this tour is in US dollars or Australian or NZ dollars.
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2023
To provide you with information on costs, we require first to confirm which departure date you are looking at as some departures have different pricing due to 'higher tourist season'.

Frank
Asked on August 17th, 2023How long does their hold last? Or when do they have to decide by?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2023
Unfortunately those 2 travellers holding the option have now confirmed their spaces. This tour is now fully booked but we can add you to the waitlist should someone cancel their space. We do have 1 space available on 3rd December if that date could work for you?
- B
Brenda
Asked on June 24th, 2023Do you also book the flights as a holiday package alongside this tour?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2023
Unfortunately we do not book flights, this would be done separately. We recommend speaking directly to a travel agency or the airline.

Nancy
Asked on January 25th, 2023I'm looking for a 10 day tour to New Zealand & Australia combined. Likely 20 people. Do you have something like this for us?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2023
We have some great Australia and New Zealand packages, however 10 days will not be enough to cover all these please. Our tours are more than 10 days and you can find some great options here.

Traveler•Written January 2023This is a tour I like. But we need to make it HB.
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2023
