Dear Steve,

I wish to express our gratitude to you and FLT for a job exceptionally well done. We enjoyed every day of this trip as it was planned to fit both young ones amongs us and the adults. All the activities were equally fun for all ages. Everything worked really smoothly and we were not much affected by the bad weather on the South Island. This was the best trip we ever had. Thank you!

Thanks again and all the best,

Blaženka Scheuer

Thank you First Light Travel!!! (especial thanks to Verity and Brent). New Zealand is a wonderful place that has SO MUCH to offer. FLT helped navigate through all the best adventures we had our heart set on. I loved having the voucher packet and the independence of being on our own on the open roads with a rental car (with the reassurance that we had someone looking out for us). We had some weather issues but were able to make the best of it because Verity/Brent were available to help us change plans (even last minute over New Years!). We accomplished a heroic amount in two weeks: both islands 10+ activities in different cities. We had so much fun! Yay for FLT!

Hey Guys,

We had a trip of a lifetime, loved every minute. We really appreciated you looking out for us when that bridge washed out. A lot of other travelers were really left in the lurch but you guys were onto it and we were sorted – on our merry way.

Looking forward to doing it all again.

White Island
The Netherlands

With the help of First Light Travel, our trip to New Zealand turned out to be the vacation we always have dreamed about. Everything was taken care of before we boarded on our plane: accomodations, rental car, excursions etc. We just had to enjoy our holiday, and we did, big time! Even when we couldn't make it to Franz Jozef due to flooding, First Light Travel made sure we wouldn't have to worry about our accomodation that night. Within a half an hour, it was taken care of!

Excellent! I told Shelley what we liked, she made an itinerary, we went back and forth for a few emails/suggestions, and then we booked...superb!

Great, that we found First Light Travel. We save a lot of time and money. It was easy to prepare our plan. Just couple emails and we were ready to go. We checked the prices on the way and since we used First Light Travel, we paid less, than we would paid, if we booked that ourself. So if you would like to safe money and time, just use First Light Travel and enjoy New Zealand - Cheers

Hi Steve!

The trip was just marvellous and a big thanks from it is to you! The whole schedule was well planned. We totally loved every part of New Zealand - even so that we are investigating possibilities to come and work in NZ for a couple of years.

Few pictures attached from along the way. Feel free to select those you want to publish in you FB pages. 

Cheers!

We had an absolutely amazing vacation in New Zealand. It's hard to imagine planning a more exciting trip in the future. We had a wonderful experience with First Light Travel and especially with our travel agent Shelley. You guys helped make traveling non-stop for 2 weeks in a country 8300 miles from home an extremely adventurous yet stress free vacation!

Many thanks!
