Im so glad that we made the right choice! I researched for several different travel agent but ended up with First Light Travel agent. Rhodri Howell was super awesome from the beginning! He was very detail, informative, attentive and patient! He put the whole package together to make our first trip to NZ so much easier and memorable! We truly appreciate your attention to the detail, and also for your assistance to our last minute addition to our plan. We definately will use your company again for our next visit to the beaitiful NZ! And of course we will share about your company to our dear family and friends!

Thanks for everything and keep up the great works!

This was a superb holiday which was enhanced by the excellent planning and preparation help provided by First Light. I highly recommend the efficient, accurate and helpful service provided by First Light and in particular Amelia Riwai who patiently worked with me to organise and finalise my itinerary.

The accommodation was really good and the activities surpassed expectations. New Zealand is a truly beautiful country with spectacular scenery, a great eco policy, friendly people and super food!

I could not have asked for an easier, more thorough and professional travel planner than Frist Light and Jo. All of our wishes for our trip were covered but as we travelled we only wanted to be able to spend more time in some of our destinations. So, take as much time as you possibly can since there is so much to enjoy and the beauty of each area unique. Jo handled some changes we needed to make with ease and was available if we had needed her after we arrived in New Zealand. I worked in the travel business for over 20 years and usually plan our trips myself but since this trip was on rather short notice I turned it over to First Light. Jo arranged some fabulous excursions and accommodations that I am sure I would not have been aware of - Absolutely fabulous!

We have never used a travel agency before. We generally research and plan our own trips. We found First Light Travel very informative and flexible enough to provide us with the perfect itinerary for our New Zealand vacation.

We are not very good holiday planners, so it was wonderful that First Light took care of everything for us. It all exceeded our expectations. Everything went smoothly.

We were only in New Zealand for 10 days and a Dawn Appleby did a fantastic job of sorting through our interests and coming up with a fun itinerary that gave us a great introduction to the country. We can't wait to come back! We plan to use First Light Travel for our upcoming trip to Australia.

Hi Kasey,

We had a wonderful experience, everything went very well, with all arrangements complete and right on time. In all, a trip of a lifetime and it was very complete and well planned. Congratulations to you for such a thoroughly thought out trip. When I download the pictures from the camera I will send you some of the great ones. Feel free to use any of this info as you choose.

I had a great time New Zealand thanks to Chrissy who helped to plan out this trip who patiently answered and responded to all the numerous questions and changes I made to the itinerary.

Everything was pretty smooth sailing and straightforward throughout. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer, alas,12 days is far too short a time to be in this amazingly beautiful country. I will definitely return soon!
