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.

I recently booked a 12-day LOTR road trip in New Zealand with First Light Travel, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and well-organized. They took care of everything-including car rental, accommodations and activities-which allowed me to simply enjoy my trip without any stress.
