New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

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..

Please list any activities that you loved: Bush & Beach Best of Both Worlds City and Nature Tour, Auckland to Rotorua via Hobbiton Movie Set, Elite Adventures Eco Thermal Park Tour, Kiwi Hatchery, Te Po Indigenous Evening. Agrodome Farm Tour

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.

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.

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!

Thank you Kirsty! We had a blast. New Zealand is a stunning country and the first country my husband wants to return to very soon. It was a perfect celebration of his 60th birthday. It was a seamless few weeks, well though out and given us many fond memories.

Everything from start to finish was good. We were kept ip to date with everything and when a change if activity was required due to cancellation of whale watching because of weather conditions, our consultant sorted this out straight away. Accommodation and activities were excellent as were recommendations of things to do at each place we visited. We had the holiday of a lifetime!

First light travel (Taylor) organized our 8-day trip to the South Island of New Zealand, and she did a great job of organizing our itinerary, accommodations, and activities to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. Next time I want to travel to the North Island of New Zealand, I will definitely book with them again.

Had a great trip, and got to see many amazing things in NZ. Looking back, the only thing I may have changed would be to extend our trip by a week and have some down time with nothing scheduled so we could just relax between the activities. Not your fault, I told you I wanted to see as much as possible, it was just hard to know on the front end just how tired we were going to be. Loved the activities, the country was amazing and I would love to come back.

Fantastic trip. It was nice not having to figure out all the logistics myself. It made the trip pretty simple since everything was planned for us.
