New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

Hi Chrissy,

We loved this trip! Being frequent travelers, it was the best we have had!

Everything was perfect: The timing in each place, The hotels (highlight to Rotorua ) and the Tours.

The country is fabulous with the nature, the people, etc... We would like to thank you Chrissy for all of it, without to know us (only by mail) you understood exactly our profile! Of course we'll recommend you to our friends at the first opportunity.

Next time: Fiji Islands

Once again, many thanks!

Very kind regards!

Hi Kasey,

First of all I would like to thank you a lot for preparing us such a great holiday for us in Australia. It was the best self-drive trip we ever experienced , the place was amazing, the accommodation especially the country side - In Philips Island, Malacoota, JarvisBay was fabulous. We really enjoyed ourselves and brought us back close after a long time we guys dint meet. The car by hertz was perfect for us fro the long distance and comfortable too, and the skydiving experience was such a adrenaline rush!!! 

Totally well planned vacation by you kasey , thanks again!!

First Light Travel truly enabled us to have a vacation of a lifetime in New Zealand! My husband & I were able to experience so much & made memories that will remain some of our favorites. Whether is was bungy jumping from Kawarau Bridge, kayaking Doubtful sound, trekking on Franz Josef glacier, or black water canyoneering/glow worm cave exploring, we felt alive, safe, & well cared for! 

Our coordinator, Jo, was so helpful in organizing our trip. We greatly appreciated the personal insight into New Zealand & the company's native feedback. Thank you First Light Travel for making all of our New Zealand dreams come true!

Due to First Light Travel we had an amazing experience in New Zealand! They know all the 'ins and outs' and made a package that was perfect for us. A lot of nice outdoor-activities such as kayaking, rafting, horse-riding and exciting hikes. Our contact with Judith - prior to and during our trip - was perfect.

We'll be back!

Thanks to Shelley and First Light Travel for an amazing holiday in New Zealand! From the start, my experience with First Light could not have been easier. I simply mentioned how long I planned to stay and the types of activities I was looking for and voila! Shelly put together an itinerary that even had a native Kiwi I met on my holiday impressed.

I had an amazing, grassroots experience of this beautiful country filled with adventurous activities and unbelievable views! I highly recommend First Light Travel for anyone considering planning a holiday in New Zealand.

Our visit to NZ would not have been the trip we wanted if we had not used First Light Travel. They showed us the best and most beautiful NZ has to offer visitors. Our holiday experience was everything we thought it would be, and more. We are very grateful.

First Light Travel and Dawn were very helpful. I had a great time in New Zealand; travelling through flat plains, freshly snow-clad mountains, temperate rainforest, along the beautiful West Coast and beaches and over ancient mountains. We sailed under a waterfall in Milford Sound and saw cascades of water tumbling down cliffs after rainfall. The sights were wonderful to behold. I would most definitely recommend First Light Travel to my friends and family – thank you for a fantastic holiday!

We are so glad that we booked our holiday with First Light Travel. Thank you Dawn for preparing such a lovely itinerary and perfectly organising our trip on such short notice. It was a lovely self-drive tour and we highly enjoyed each day as it unfolded. A few highlights include the Waitomo caves, Te Puia and Hobbiton, and the kids loved every bit of the guided two hour mountain biking in Whakarewarewa. Thank you Dawn and First Light Travel – highly recommended!
