Reviews of Top of the South Island Road Trip

First Light Travel delivered an exceptionally well-planned and memorable New Zealand itinerary, with outstanding accommodations, experiences, and pacing throughout. Communication during the planning phase was clear and responsive, and their on-the-ground support was excellent — particularly when adjusting our Wānaka schedule mid-trip and handling a weather-related cancellation with ease and professionalism. Nearly every element exceeded expectations, with several truly standout experiences. Our favorite experience of the trip was the helicopter flight onto the glacier, which was genuinely unforgettable. We would happily recommend First Light Travel and would work with them again without hesitation.

Thank you for a well thought and planned itinerary. Really enjoyed our holiday. Also i am coeliac and Heidi conveyed this to all experiences so was so great to have this sorted for me.

The travel itinerary was well laid out and met our expectations on what we wanted to see in New Zealand. We particularly enjoyed the overnight stay on Doubtful Sound, the scenery in Milford Sound was spectacular and the ice berg tour on Tasman Lake at Mount Cook exceeded our expectations. Overall we were very pleased with First Light Travel. It was good to have a knowledgeable person providing us with recommendations on what to see based on our budget and schedule.
