Rowena's North Island Family Trip

Australia
12 Apr 2026

Highly recommend booking through First Light Travel for New Zealand. Our family of three had an absolute ball thanks to the wonderful staff. Shout out to Tatyana for organising an amazing North Island itinerary and Meli for prompt on-the-ground assistance. We will definitely be booking again through First Light.
