  • N

    Natalie

    Asked on June 10th, 2025

    I'm interested in the New Zealand tour. Your age restriction says 18-35, but I'll be 39 at the time of the trip. Would that be a problem?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Ultimate TravelOperator•Written June 2025

      Our trips are specifically designed for travellers aged 18 to 35, and we do need to stick to that age range to maintain the experience we promise to our guests. If you're looking for similar travel experiences, there are a number of other tour companies out there that cater to a wider age range.
