Reviews of 13 Day Essence of the South

Thanks to First Light Travel and Joanna we had a wonderful 13-day self-driving trip around New Zealand’s South Island. Working with her was so easy and she selected interesting and exciting daily activities for us to enjoy, ranging from a heli-hike on Franz Joseph Glacier to hikes at Mt Aspiring to a cruise on Milford Sound and a lot more.

All the driver who picked us up at the airport, train station and other places were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and always on time. The accommodations were all very good.

Overall, we loved our trip to the South Island and would wholeheartedly recommend First Light Travel to anyone planning a trip to this part of the world.

Shelley,

Just a huge THANK YOU to you! You made our trip and we loved every minute of it because you took the stress out of the planning! I don’t write reviews most of the time because I wasn’t impressed but I was overly IMPRESSED with your follow up and communication and helpfulness!

Thanks again

Our visit to NZ would not have been the trip we wanted if we had not used First Light Travel. They showed us the best and most beautiful NZ has to offer visitors. Our holiday experience was everything we thought it would be, and more. We are very grateful.

It was a breeze getting my plan secured and making sense of my itinerary. Chrissy did an amazing job in assisting me to put everything together. It's a relief to have someone to help with the bookings when you're really busy. Appreciate that a lot and another thing i would like to highlight is that i do have concerns about liaising with someone just over email, however the replies are really prompt and i never had to go through any anxiety whether or not my booking has been made. NZ is so beautiful and I will definitely be back.

Cheers to the great team at First Light!!!
