New Zealand Tours

New Zealand Group Tours

New Zealand is the adventure playground of the Pacific and the ultimate eco-tourism destination with some of the world's most spectacular alpine and coastal scenery. 

It is a land of diversity and stunning natural beauty. Majestic mountains, glaciated peaks, mysterious Fiords, ancient rain forests, trout filled rivers, pristine lakes, deserted beaches, active volcanoes and geysers all share a space less than 1,600 km (994 miles) long and never more than 500km (310 miles) wide.

Much of New Zealand is untouched and unspoilt, especially the South Island with less than 1 million inhabitants. This means that it isn't hard to get off the beaten path and explore those places that few people have been lucky enough to visit.

Adventure is ingrained in the culture of the people of New Zealand. "Kiwis" combine a steadfast love for the outdoors with a tendency to push the limits of what people can do in their environment. This enthusiasm has led to the innovation and development of a range of adventure activities making New Zealand the place of ultimate adventure unrivalled in the entire world.

By booking a tour of New Zealand you can witness first hand the breathtaking scenery made famous in the Lord of the Rings films and experience the thrills of adventure sports like kayaking, canoeing, jet-boating, skiing, white-water rafting, join expeditions, treks or go skiing and snowboarding.

Typical group sizes are around 8-18 travellers with an average of 12 but this can vary between the tour and operator. On most tours you will travel overland in a private small tour van. For day trips and excursions sometimes you will use public transport and sometimes use internal flights to allow you to see the highlights as quick as possible. 

Accommodation can vary depending on the company and location, but usually backpacker hostels and budget hotels are included. 

Overland Tours

You can book an overland tour or hop on hop off bus trip which will stop at the most popular places in the country. You'll be able to travel in comfort and in a fun environment and discover the most amazing places the country has to offer.

A lot of overland trips take you away from the tourist crowds and let you explore off the beaten track places which a lot of people don't visit. New Zealand is a small county but that doesn't mean you have to mix with the masses.

There are lots of trips with departures all year round and individual tour guides can give you best advice for places to see and things to do in your spare time. Expect personal, flexible and memorable experience.
