- David· January 16th, 2025Our overall experience was excellent. The New Zealand tour comp did a fine job booking hotels, car rental and activities. Their app was great. Their support was very helpful.Show more
- Barbara· March 28th, 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our self-driving tour. The experience was seamless from start to finish. Once we signed up, we received communication within minutes putting our hearts at ease. When we reached our destinations, we would simply give our names and the rest would be taken care of. Any questions or changes we had we're dealt with quickly and efficiently. The accommodations were simply beautiful, everything we needed and more. I also enjoyed using the app, especially being able to keep a travel journal and a list of our expenses. We would recommend this service to others who would like to explore an area with all the work taken care of at a reasonable price.Show more

Asked on November 11th, 2024I'm interested in this tour. I am wondering if it is a self-drive tour or if there is a guide/driver gets me here and around. Does this tour require physically fit people for the outdoor adventures like hiking?
Discover New ZealandOperator•Written November 2024This is a self drive tour so you will have your own rental vehicle. There are a number of included guided activities including the Doubtful sound cruise, the Routeburn guided walk, the Wanaka cruise and walk, Franz Josef Helihike, Okarito kayak tour and a glow worm rafting experience. Majority of these activities require a moderate level of fitness. If you are not comfortable with these activities we can look at building a less active tour for you.
