Fantastic from start to finish. Michelle at First Light Travel made booking our trip-of-a-lifetime easy and worry-free. We loved the pace and diversity of our Southern Drift small group tour. The scenery never stopped being incredible! Our Tour Director, Tania Simpson, and our excellent driver Diane, were the best one could hope for with their knowledge of the country and culture and personal anecdotes that brought another interesting layer to the overall experience. Accommodations and included meals were great. Optional excursions offered were good value and added to our memories of this amazing trip. It is a long way from home but well worth the time and effort to get there. We highly recommend First Light Travel for this tour of the south island
