Self Drive Hiking & Walking Tours

Where can you find bubbling mud pools, stinky gas, and gushing geysers? Meet cheeky dolphins and giant whales? See where the hairy hobbits live? Welcome to New Zealand! Have epic adventures every day, then soak in geothermally heated hot pools until you are as wrinkly as grandma – and much more!

If your teens are happy, then everyone’s happy! Teens are enthusiastic travellers but their interests and schedules aren't often aligned with their younger siblings or parents. We have put together this sample itinerary to give you ideas on activities and destination you can include for everyone to enjoy.

We find that kids are eager to get out and connect with nature and keen for opportunities to actively engage in anything new and exciting. We have put together a host of tried and tested (by our kids) outdoor experiences that the whole family can enjoy.

Planned by those with families, the New Zealand Family Adventure Holiday opens your child’s mind to a world of endless possibilities and wonder, while experiencing the best New Zealand has to offer. A seamless mixture of adventure and education that both you and you're kids will love. Activities are age appropriate and accommodations are family friendly.

Sometimes less is more, with a little taster of a few special places this itinerary covers some truly remarkable experiences. Rather than trying to achieve too much with limited time, the balance of quality over quantity is the focus here...

On this well-planned family holiday, experience the North Islands Geothermal Wonderland, Rotorua, and fall in love with the South Island's magnificent mountains, giant glaciers, untouched wilderness, and delectable cuisine. With some great hideaways, jaw-dropping views, and welcoming locals, this classic holiday destination is guaranteed to win your heart.

A perfect mix of day excursions focusing on New Zealand's iconic scenic highlights in both the North and South Islands. Keeping the amount of driving to a minimum, we have also included four 2 night stays giving you the opportunity to relax and get a real sense of the place.
