Here are the top 10 reasons passengers give for choosing us:
1. More National Parks
Our tours give you time to experience New Zealand's best National Parks! Throughout our national tour we'll visit:
- Tongariro National Park
- Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park
- Fiordland National Park
- Abel Tasman National Park
- Paparoa National Park
2. Get off the beaten track
There are a number of iconic highlights on any trip to New Zealand from the famous Milford Sound to Queenstown and Rotorua, and we make sure to experience the best of these! But what makes our trips totally unique is exploring the lesser known spots that other tour groups don't visit. Whether it's going for a secret glow-worm walk at night, visiting a lush rainforest-fringed pool for a dip or enjoying a bike ride along deserted roads we've found the best secret spots - just try not to tell too many others!
3. Stay in stunning locations
Camping on most nights during our tours means we get to wake up to amazing views and enjoy peaceful nature and fresh air throughout our trip. Our carefully selected sites allow you to experience amazing sunrises, spectacular sunsets, campfires, sleeping to the sound of the ocean, morning dips and lakeside dining to name a few. There are camping and cabin accommodation upgrade options (so something for everyone) and we do occasionally use hostels so you can access some of New Zealand's vibrant city centres!
4. More cycle options
We think New Zealand has some of the best cycle tracks in the Southern Hemisphere and we want to give you the chance to experience this! When you're booking your trip, you have the opportunity to rent a bike which we'll bring on board for you throughout your trip. We cover a huge range of rides along the coast, by lakes, through mountain landscapes, downhill, uphill and even across hill - there is something for everyone and every fitness level.
5. More hikes & activity options
We offer more hikes and activity options that any other tour company! That gives you more choice everyday, and everything is 100% optional so you can always choose to do some of the other free activities or upgrade to paid optionals depending on your preference. From hiking the world's best one day walk in Tongariro National Park to Ice Climbing in Franz Josef, swimming with dolphins in Kaikoura and Skydiving over Queenstown - we offer it all and so much more!
6. More time in the best locations
For most people a trip to New Zealand is a once in a lifetime experience. We appreciate that and want to make sure you have time to see and do it all! But we also want to make sure you have to enjoy some of the best spots, which is why we spend two nights in some places, so you get time to absorb and enjoy the country's best bits. We know you want to see it all but we also know this is your holiday - our tours are the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure!
7. Unbeatable value for money
Quite simply, when it comes to cost our trips are unbeatable. Our tours include all transport which is private, all accommodation in a shared tent or dorm room, tasty home-cooked meals, free use of sports equipment, free daily activities and so much more!
8. Perfect for solo travellers & couples
Many of our passengers are travelling independently. They choose our tours knowing that they will have an instant group of like minded travellers to share their experience with. There are no single supplements for travelling solo, which means you aren't penalised for travelling alone! If you're travelling together as a couple or with a friend, you'll get your own two-person tent by default. So it's a win-win for everyone!
