What people love about New Zealand Tours in December
- New Zealand: Best of the North Island
I couldn’t believe how much we packed into 7 days! I found Nat an incredible tour guide and having James and Taz as training CEOs mad the trip that much better. Every activity was educational and thrilling. 100% recommend Waitomos glow worms cave to anyone that visits! Highly recommend this tour!
- Southern Voyager
Amazing!! I would recommend this tour to any and everyone! The South Island really is one of my favorite places in the world...
- New Zealand Explorer
The tour was amazing. A very memorable one. Had a blast with others and places we visited were amazing. I wish we'd stayed a night in Lake tekamo. It's looks amazing so Def feel like I missed out
