Asked on August 24th, 2025I am interested in booking your NZ Highlights Group Tour I ULTIMATE. However, I am wondering which attractions are included in the price of the trip and how much I should expect to pay in total (including meals, attraction fees, and other expenses) for the entire trip. Since I am already booking my flights to New Zealand, I am also wondering when I can depart from Queenstown.
Ultimate TravelOperator•Written August 2025Recommended budget is $100 NZD per day for extra meals/additional activities. The tour will end at 10am on the final day so you can book your flights any time after then.

Traveler•Written August 2025I will probably arrive in Auckland a day earlier (on April 7 at 6:30 p.m.). I have seen that you offer the option of Auckland Pre-Tour Nights. What is included in the price of €39? What kind of accommodation will it be? And when or where can I select the meals included?
- Ultimate TravelOperator•Written August 2025
Pre-tour night is in mixed-dorm accommodation at our Auckland hostel supplier. There are generally no meals included in this package apart from certain day trips such as the Māori Catamaran Cruise and Milford Sound.

Asked on August 18th, 2025Do yog run at tour then. Also, we are a couple and 37 years of age - will that be okay as I see there's an age bracket mentioned.
- Ultimate TravelOperator•Written August 2025
Unfortunately the only date we have is in October and the age bracket for our group tours is 18-35.

Asked on June 10th, 2025I'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?
- 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.
