New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

SUPER!! The team at First Light created the perfect combo of activities for our family of 5 adults on North and South Islands. They asked all the right questions to tailor activities and accommodations along our 2.5 weeks of travels. I am an avid traveler, very capable in travel planning myself, but started too late in planning our Christmas/New Year trip (6 months in advance - take note!) First Light managed to pull together excellent lodging for us, and took all pressure off - it was wonderful! I highly recommend First Light, our bookings were well organized, with much local knowledge added to the itinerary.

Chrissy Sun planned a perfect trip for us to New Zealand. She built an itinerary based on our likes of hiking and beautiful scenery. She arranged all transportation within New Zealand, every car, train , plane and boat ride. It was so easy to just hand the voucher to the agent or hotel reception clerk and off we went. We thought this was a once in a lifetime trip but would love to go back. Kudos to Chrissy Sun for helping us have a great holiday.

My wife and I have used First Light for 2 week trips to both Australia and New Zealand and had a great time. We felt the itinerary maximized our time and let us still have enough time to explore on our own. I highly recommend using them for trips to AUS/NZ.

Hi Sofie,

Thank you again for all the work you did to provide a great experience for us. It was a shame about the weather, now we will have to come back. I will definitely call you to arrange our time here. It is a pity that First Light Travel doesn’t do travel in other countries, as I would have loved to use your service for each country we travel to in the future! You have my highest praise. First light travel is so fortunate to have you.

Best regards

Kasey,

The plans you made for us were impeccable. The flow was perfect as were the accommodations. Many thanks. It was great. There were no flow or process issues.

I recommend all those accommodations to others who seek the same.

From the first email I sent to Shelley, she was prompt and very patient in answering my questions and setting up our itinerary for us and we exchanged a LOT of emails! Our whole trip was smooth from the transfers to all the accommodations that we had and the car rentals. I highly recommend Shelley and First Light Travel for any trip to New Zealand. We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful country and went home with some great memories.

Thank you Shelley and First Light Travel!

We discovered First Light on the Internet while searching for help in planning our trip to New Zealand. Even though we were making travel plans during the height of the season and with little time. Sophie gave us everything we wanted, within our budget. We loved everything.

I found First Light Travel when I searched "New Zealand Itineraries" and I'm so glad I did! We traveled in April/May of 2017, and found First Light Travel in late January/early February 2017. We worked closely with Chrissy Sun, who made the whole process - from booking our flights, to our excursions, to our accommodations - a stress-free process. This was our first international trip and she gladly answered all of our questions about traveling abroad and provided very helpful information about New Zealand in general. We let Chrissy know when we could leave, when we needed to be back, and when we needed to be in Rotorua to run a marathon and she handled the rest. Our itinerary was easy to follow. The voucher system was easy to use and made getting checked in for our excursions so easy. Once we arrived in New Zealand we were so excited to see our well thought out itinerary in action. The outfitters selected by Chrissy were great to work with and helped provide an unforgettable experience. We were in New Zealand for 20 days and Chrissy made sure that we did as many of the things on our wish-list as possible. We had fun at every turn and find it hard to pick a favorite!

My husband and I had a wonderful trip of both Islands of New Zealand recently. First Light Travel made sure that we had everything in place. We had selected a self-drive holiday and our car was waiting for us in both Islands. Our accommodation was booked for us every night of our trip which made it easy to step from our car to our room. Attractions were selected to suit our interests which made it easy. We only had to produce our vouchers for the attraction and enjoyment was all ours.Thank you First Light Travel for your excellent service which made our trip so memorable for us.

Greetings from Australia.
