NZ LOTR Tour Reviews

For first time New Zealand visitors like us, having Jasmin Cinel from First Light make all the arrangements made everything so much easier. The website has excellent itinerary recommendations, and Jasmin worked with us to refine our own tour, including airport pickups, rental car, accommodations and all activities. I am certain we would not have seen or done nearly as much without her help.

We had 10 days, New Zealand was on my bucket list. We love the sea, the mountains and culture and history when we visit places. I called Micala and thats what i told her. She put together an itiniary that was just about perfect for us. big planes little planes, trains, automobiles, busses, boats, jet boats. steam ships, helicopters, we did it all. Of all the places I have been this is one that I would definitely return to and trust Micala to put together another amazing experience. Everything was a logistical masterpiece. everywhere we went they were expecting us, drivers were waiting, pickups on time, lodging arranged. Travel can be stressful and this was not that at all..

Taking a trip so far from home with just myself and my 10 year old daughter was a little nerve wracking. Gina and the team at First Light Travel were amazing before and during our travels go out my mind at ease. Everything was thoroughly planned out with downtime built in. The detailed itinerary was the best, I was able to have a piece of mind in knowing I didn't have to stress about where to stay and how to get there. 10 out of 10 experience.

Heidi tailored our short stay (not nearly long enough) in NZ according to our interests, budget and mobility issues. She was so great to work with! I highly recommend using First Light Travel! Thanks again Heidi!!

We had a wonderful trip to New Zealand. First Light Travel were excellent in planning our itinerary, arranging accommodation and activities. Kirsty Marriott. was responsive and helpful at all times. We were very satisfied with the accommodation and activities planned  We would have no hesitation in using First Light Travel again.

There wasn’t one thing I would change about our itinerary except maybe to extend our trip another month as we didn’t want it to end

Our trip was wonderfully organized with excellent attention to details. The activities that were chosen were generally excellent and a lot of fun.

All the staff and employees at hotels were excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. Church Hill Boutique Lodge was beyond our expectations! Proprietors were very accommodating and chef was outstanding. Dinner was the best food we ate on our trip. The trip was very good value.

First Light laid the groundwork for a fantastic four weeks in New Zealand. It was a wonderful adventure without any of the stress that often accompanies long trips. They took the time to learn what we wanted, made excellent recommendations, and then organized all the details perfectly. We would definitely use them again.

Renee was exceptional. She was always ready to assist. I can’t speak highly enough about her and First Light Travel. I wouldn’t hesitate using Renee again for our next trip. Thank you so much for you advice. You made our holiday!
