Thanks to First Light Travel has for us our holiday in New Zealand become an unforgettable experience. We have chosen for First Light Travel because of their knowledge of New Zealand they were able to compose a holiday for us that was pretty different than travel agents in The Netherlands could offer us. We recommend First Light Travel to everyone in The Netherlands who consider a holiday in New Zealand.

Our recent two week trip to New Zealand was the best vacation we have ever had! The breathtaking beauty and the genuine and friendly people of New Zealand make this destination a must on everyone's bucket list. I credit First Light Travel for making the trip logistically perfect for us.

Due to friends that had recently returned from New Zealand, we knew what cities and towns we wanted to visit on the South Island, but we had no idea how and where to book our accommodations and the activities. I went online to find a company based in New Zealand, and was very happy when I found First Light Travel. I made a call and immediately was connected to a wonderful agent named Verity. She was extraordinarily

helpful and had a complete itinerary with rooms and activities for me to approve within three short days. She promptly answered all my questions whenever I emailed her, and by departure day, I was confident that everything was in place with our transportation, rooms, car, and activities. The best thing was that virtually every step of our trip went off without a hitch.

The rooms all exceeded our expectations, the activities were so fun and scenic. Our itinerary came with travel times and very clear directions and addresses for hotels, lodges, etc. We were able to plan our drive times accordingly, and we were always able to go at a leisurely pace and stop wherever we wanted. I will recommend First Light Travel to all of our friends who are planning a New Zealand trip. We were very happy with their friendly, efficient service, and most of all the depth of their knowledge about New Zealand and everything it has to offer.
