My wife and I had a great trip to the south for 2 weeks, we enjoyed every bit of it! Big thanks to Dawn, our coordinator, for her fabulous planning for our trip. It was hassle free, packed with variety of activities we get to do and space for us to explore. And the pace was perfect for us. No stress! Thanks for making our trip a pleasant one. We love NZ!

Happy Client

We traveled to the South Island of New Zealand with another couple and planned to stay 3 weeks to have a good look around. I started Googling what to see in NZ and came across First Light Travel, we didn’t look back. Kasey Yee was very professional and informative and came back promptly with an itinerary. We tweaked it a little until we were happy that our trip would be exceptional. Accommodation was very clean, centrally located and a great variation, from high quality hotels to a magnificent farm stay. Activities were very well thought through and even though we didn’t do anything extreme it suited ours needs. I thoroughly recommend First Light Travel …Kasey in particular, she took away all the stress of booking everything ourselves.

We loved First Light Travel from the first contact. Shelley was brilliant. All queries were answered promptly. Whilst in New Zealand we had to rearrange something and again Shelley dealt with it very efficiently. We would not hesitate to use first light travel again and have already recommend them to friends.

The travel we made through New Zealand was great and all the suggested activities are to be remembered by us. During the cyclone your assistance was great and you really took care of us. This is what service is in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Our trip to New Zealand was everything we thought it would be and more! The accommodations and tours were exactly what we wanted. From the Hobbiton tour to the Marlborough wine region to hiking in multiple national parks, our varied interested were satisfied. This trip would not have been possible without First Light Travel's assistance. Thank you! We will recommend First Light Travel to everyone!

We were most pleased with your service and particularly that of our consultant, Jo Taylor. Superbly good service in every respect from Jo would be an understatement. She was pleasant to deal with, in fact, most congenial, incredibly efficient, very knowledgeable and thoroughly professional throughout. We cannot say enough good things about Jo. She was a total joy to work with and she did an outstanding job for us in every way. She clearly gets a 5***** platinum rating from us!

Chrissy Sun planned a perfect trip for us to New Zealand. She built an itinerary based on our likes of hiking and beautiful scenery. She arranged all transportation within New Zealand, every car, train , plane and boat ride. It was so easy to just hand the voucher to the agent or hotel reception clerk and off we went. We thought this was a once in a lifetime trip but would love to go back. Kudos to Chrissy Sun for helping us have a great holiday.

My wife and I have used First Light for 2 week trips to both Australia and New Zealand and had a great time. We felt the itinerary maximized our time and let us still have enough time to explore on our own. I highly recommend using them for trips to AUS/NZ.

Kasey,

The plans you made for us were impeccable. The flow was perfect as were the accommodations. Many thanks. It was great. There were no flow or process issues.

I recommend all those accommodations to others who seek the same.

We discovered First Light on the Internet while searching for help in planning our trip to New Zealand. Even though we were making travel plans during the height of the season and with little time. Sophie gave us everything we wanted, within our budget. We loved everything.
