Liz’s Three Weeks of New Zealand Wonders

Canada
11 Mar 2026

I’m not even sure where to start! I like organized and my husband likes spontaneity. This was the perfect balance. We knew where we were going and staying with the ability to stop along the way if something caught our attention. We loved that everything was booked and paid for in advance and all we had to do was give our name. So smooth and seamless. We loved the self-guided wine/cycling tour in Queenstown. I would highly recommend First Light! The willingness to work with us to plan the perfect trip with our interests and budget in mind was so appreciated!
