New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

Wow, what a truly amazing experience, First Light Travel put together for our honeymoon. With very little input, other than knowing we wanted to experience the entire island in a 2 week period, she was able to plan a once in a lifetime trip. A trip that met and exceeded all of our expectations. From the wine tours on Waiheke Island and around Nelson, the kayaking and hiking around Abel Tasman, the helicopter ride to the top of a glacier near Queenstown, the stunning beauty of the Milford Sound on a fly/cruise/fly day trip to the round of golf along Lake Wakatipu with The Remarkables as a backdrop.

We cannot recommend the team at First Light Travel enough. Thank you for the countless memories!

From the very first email from FLT offering to work on the itinerary to the whole holiday experience, was the smoothest, most convenient and awesome experience. NZ by itself is the MOST AMAZING place on the planet. With friends at FLT it undoubtedly was a once in a lifetime family holiday.

We have booked our vacation with great pleasure at First Light Travel. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of Judith Pohn we have come to a wonderful travel plan that met all our wishes. The contact also went very quickly and smoothly. If you have plans to go to New Zealand? Then we definitely recommend First Light

This was the best experience of our life. First Light Travel helped to make our honeymoon one of a kind. From the relaxing days on Hahei Beach to the adventurous hiking through Tongariro National Park, and bungy jumping off Kawarau bridge in Queenstown, she helped to make everyday hit a highpoint and check off something on our bucket list! We will be back to visit New Zealand soon, what a beautiful place!

First Light Travel was very efficient in helping my partner and I to plan our 3 week trip to New Zealand and Fiji. Whenever we were in doubt about anything, Shelley was always very prompt in her replies to our emails. We had a fantastic time in both New Zealand and Fiji. Shelley planned a 12 day trip for us in the South island of New Zealand and a four day trip in Fiji on Matamanoa island. All accommodation was clean, spacious and good value for money.

We highly recommend First Light Travel to anyone who needs some guidance in their trips to New Zealand and Fiji. First Light Travel has been very efficient in helping us plan our three week holiday to New Zealand and Fiji. Whenever we we're unsure of something they always replied promptly. We highly recommend this agency.

Hi Shelley!

I have attached a couple to this email and will send more when I get to the computer. Feel free to use any and all of them. It was honestly the most magnificent holiday we have ever had! Also, we have already passed your information on! We were beyond impressed, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Warm wishes.

This was the easiest vacation I have ever planned. I left the planning details to the NZ experts and was not disappointed! Fantastic trip, with a detailed itinerary that took out all the stress! Jo made excellent, informed recommendations that let us see as much as we could in the 12 days allotted. The trip went like clockwork!

We felt we got the most of the time we had and, of course, want to return when we have more time - Must come back!

Hi Christine, we had such a wonderful trip!

We were very pleased with the accommodations, cars and activities, plus your detailed instructions made everything so easy! I would certainly give you the highest recommendation. The highlights of the trip for me were the stay on Wahaike  and The Milford sound boat overnight.

 Thank you so much for arranging such a great vacation for us!

Cheers,

We had been to New Zealand a long time ago for business, but only had a few days to get a taste for this incredible country. We had an idea of what we wanted to do when we had the opportunity to return. Jo Taylor worked with us to craft an itinerary that really was spot on. The accommodations were places we would never have found on our own, and they thought of all the details regarding activities, itinerary, transfers, etc. Hiring Jo, and the First Light team was a great decision for us!
