New Zealand Tours - THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME

A UNIQUE STYLE OF ADVENTURE TOUR HOLIDAY

Here's a typical 24 hours with Flying Kiwi!  Wake up in spectacular locations everyday.  Enjoy a tasty breakfast next to lakes, mountains & oceans with your fellow passengers (and soon to be lifelong friends) before deciding how you to spend your day.  Choose from a combination of adventure activities (dolphin swimming, glacier hiking, canyoning or sailing to name a few), breathtaking hikes & inspiring cycle rides.

After a full day of adventure sit around the campfire to enjoy freshly cooked food with a cooling drink or two.  Head to a local bar or soak up the amazing night skies before going to sleep to the sound of the ocean (tents or cabins).  Relax and recharge for more of the same tomorrow! Find out why passengers choose Flying Kiwi.

HOW DO THE TOURS WORK?

We run summer and winter tours.  Summer tours run from October - April when the weather is at its best and winter trips run through July and August when the ski fields are pumping. View our photo gallery to see what our tours look like.

Our big trip - the Ultimate Explorer - takes 28 days and is the perfect way to see and do everything.  All our shorter tours are sections of the Ultimate Explorer tour.  For more information view our how it works video.

Our tours are very flexible and we love helping clients plan their ultimate New Zealand Tour.  Just use the online chat or contact one of our team and we can create a custom tour to fit around your requirements.
