Thank you, Michelle for your help in planning a bucket list trip we never thought we would take! You helped us plan a pace that was just right for our time on the South Island. We are excited to come back to the North Island this year.

Deb Evans crafted the perfect holiday to suit our interests and budget. Deb took the time to listen to our interests and selected perfect activities and lodging along the way. We loved the Dart River Adventures the Horse Trek and the Mt Nicholas Tour

Hi Michelle

The trip was absolutely wonderful. All five of us loved it. Thanks for all your planning, suggestions, bookings and arrangements. It made it all work seamlessly and smoothly. It was also a real pleasure to work with you. You were responsive and helpful, which is important for such a long distance relationship and transaction.

Thanks again for all of your great service. It was really a pleasure working with you. My whole family heard me talk about Michelle so much, they felt they knew you!

Kind Regards

First Light Travel Reviews

Deb was FANTASTIC! From the start she asked me all the right questions about our family and what types of activities we wanted to do. She planned the trip absolutely perfectly! From the types of accommodations, to the car rentals, to the activities we did, to the special dietary restrictions (nut allergies and vegetarian) everything was exactly what we wanted for a very memorable family vacation. We loved having the detailed itinerary created by Deb and the voucher booklet. Each day she had meticulously planned out the drive times, the activities with descriptions, reminders to call places to confirm bookings, accommodation specifics. I honestly cannot recommend Deb and First Light Travel highly enough! You will be in GREAT hands with this travel agency! Thank you Deb for helping us create the most magical family trip, these memories will last a lifetime!

And it’s a wrap! We’re finally settled back in Hong Kong. Thank you Shelley for the great assistance to experience the beautiful South Island of NZ. Every place has its own character. This trip was definitely one for the books. Our daughter misses the ski field already while we will miss the steaks and freshly brewed beer ?. We would not have done it without you.

Hope to be back and do North next time. Driving the roads of NZ in a right-hand drive vehicle wasn’t difficult after all.

We are glad we found Shelly as our Consultant, she is fast and immediately put together a proposal based on our details. We were about to finalize with another company and we were glad that we decide to take a alternative proposal for comparison at the last minute. We found the proposal from Shelly was much more competitive and included many activities that were just add-ons at additional cost in the other proposal. The rental car provided was also of a higher grade from a better company. The itinerary was well prepared and instructions very clear that we didn't have a clarification or questions, during the entire trip. We were never late or missed anything. All accommodations chosen were well suited and centrally located. We take this opportunity to thank Shelly and First Light Travel for a great vacation and memories. We hope to visit NZ again soon and will be in touch and recommend to our family and friends.

Michelle Srzich, your knowledge of your country as a holiday destinations was "brilliant". We chose First Light Travel with a sceptical mind whether we will be in trouble or not ?, but our May 2018 family vacations went on just beautiful as exactly like the itinerary made by Michelle. Your patience in replying to my silliest doubts were highly appreciated. I recommend First Light for New Zealand vacations to anyone.

Jo did a fantastic job at preparing our itinerary and surprised us all with all the wonderful excursions! We had a group of 9 ranging from ages 4.5 to 67, Jo made the whole trip very easy to follow and enjoy! It was extremely stress free and all the accommodations were fab! I don't think I would've done a better job myself if I planned everything! All our excursions planned were amazing! And because we had no expectations, everything exceeded our expectations!! (if that makes any sense!) Will definitely go through Jo / First Light Travel again if we head back to NZ (which I'm sure we will!) and highly recommend them to anyone who wants it stress free if planning their trip to NZ! Just tell them your desire and they will make it happen! So glad I found them on the internet! Thank you Jo for your wonderful planning!

We had an amazing trip in NZ! Our First Light Travel itinerary was perfect for our family. We combined some very physical, active days with relaxing ones towards the end of our trip. We would highly recommend First Light Travel to anyone planning travel to New Zealand!
