New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

We are not very good holiday planners, so it was wonderful that First Light took care of everything for us. It all exceeded our expectations. Everything went smoothly.

Hi Kasey,

We had a wonderful experience, everything went very well, with all arrangements complete and right on time. In all, a trip of a lifetime and it was very complete and well planned. Congratulations to you for such a thoroughly thought out trip. When I download the pictures from the camera I will send you some of the great ones. Feel free to use any of this info as you choose.

I had a great time New Zealand thanks to Chrissy who helped to plan out this trip who patiently answered and responded to all the numerous questions and changes I made to the itinerary.

Everything was pretty smooth sailing and straightforward throughout. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer, alas,12 days is far too short a time to be in this amazingly beautiful country. I will definitely return soon!

We had an amazing day with tour guide Debbie, who drove us through the Waiheke island, showing us the most beautiful spots.

Also we did two wine tastings at very special wineries and an olive oil tasting, which all were very good and interesting! Debbie welcomed us when we arrived with the ferry and was from the outset on very interested in us and gave us a very special experience, explaining everything you want to know about the island and more.
Before we knew the day was over, but it was for sure not our last visit to Waiheke Island.

Dear Jo,

Thank you so much for the time and effort that you gave to make our adventure a reality. You went beyond expectations to help when our problems threatened our trip.

Amelia was great at getting us the tour we wanted at the time we wanted and she was very specific with instructions and what was to be expected. She answered any of our questions correctly and promptly. I would recommend her to my friends for a reference for travel.

This was the trip of a lifetime. All of the accommodations and activities booked by Amelia were spot on! The booking was so easy and then we had the detailed itinerary to follow and the gps which already had most of our destinations programmed in. The lodges were of the highest quality and the Kiwi service was better than anywhere else that I have ever been. What a beautiful country with fabulous people. We can't wait to come back and will most certainly let First Light plan our next trip!

Dear Amelia, We had an incredible holiday! This was the trip of a lifetime. All of the accommodations and activities that you booked for us were fantastic. The service could not have been better and your restaurant suggestions were delicious. We can't wait to come back and will absolutely have you do all of the bookings again. I have been telling everyone I know who may travel to New Zealand that they must book through Amelia at First Light Travel!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for a really good tour, the guide did know a lot about the rainforest and nz history and was also very good with our group atmosphere. We were only 10 people (between 22-70 years old) which was really good. We were overwhelmed once more about the spectacular scenery NZ has to offer, Piha Beach is just stunning.

Thank You sooo much!!

Cheers,
