Independent Holidays / Tours

These tours meet the needs of the traveler who is seeking the advantages of an independent holiday with the assurance of a well planned, pre-booked itinerary.

They are designed to help you visit New Zealand's finest scenic attractions and cities at very reasonable costs. There are many different short tours of both the South and North Islands. Some of these combined together make a full New Zealand-wide itinerary. Holidays can be adapted or extended according to your requirements.

Often called "The World in Miniature" New Zealand has stunning scenery which varies from the fiords in the South to the sub tropical North. In between these are: pasture, lakes and mountains; walk on glaciers 30 minutes drive/walk from their hotels; towering alpine scenery, boiling mud and geysers, lake and beach resorts - a tremendous array of exciting places to visit and enjoy.

Couple this with caring, sharing people who love and care for their country and you have the right   combinations for a memorable tour. We believe that people on holiday should have time for shopping, rest or relaxation or additional sightseeing. Meals are not included so you have the choice of where and when to eat, and in New Zealand there is a great choice of restaurants featuring unique local foods.

These tours operate on a daily basis, using regular coach, train and ferry services. We arrange your transportation, hotel or motel accommodation and essential sightseeing. Transfers are provided for passengers utilizing medium/first class hotels. In Tourist Class transfers are provided throughout, except for passengers arriving or departing by train at Dunedin, as the hotel is opposite the station.

The accommodation is in specially chosen properties. For medium/first class you stay at selected Motor Inns or Hotels. These are centrally located and have a selection of restaurants and bars as well as the facilities expected in first class rooms. In Tourist grade you will stay at motels or tourist class hotels. Some motels have kitchen facilities as well as colour TV, radios, etc. We regularly inspect the hotels and motels to ensure that service and decor are always maintained to high standards. You can be sure that accommodation is of a uniformly high standard whether it be in tourist or first class category. These tours use the services of major companies who operate air-conditioned coaches, trains, and friendly Coach/Train Captains who provide commentaries throughout your tour.
