New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

This was a very professional and transparent experience. There were no hidden fees or secrets and all the activities and accommodations were just as we expected. No surprises (except for the champagne in some of the rooms for our honeymoon) and that is just how we like it! It was just the right pace for us and all the activities were up to our standards. We had an amazing time and would go back in heartbeat!

This was our second holiday with first light travel and Shelley in 9 months because our first NZ holiday (and our honeymoon) was just so phenomenal that we couldn't wait to come back and so, of course, we emailed Shelley again to get everything started. As always she went beyond and above her amazing service. Shelley has this special talent to prepare a holiday that exceeds all our needs and expectations and we will always use first light travel and Shelley's knowledge, professionalism and advice for every NZ holiday. 

Thank you Shelley for yet another unforgettable south island experience, you make our memories...xx

Good morning Jo, Chris and I would like to thank you for the wonderful trip you planned for us. We loved our various types of lodging and excursions whilst keeping our needs in mind, possibly one of the best destinations for a jam-packed, awesome honeymoon ! You made all of this possible and exceeded our expectations. NZ is absolutely stunning - we'll be back ! We'll definitely use First Light Travel for our next long trip!

We are back safe. Our travels went very smoothly and there were no hiccups in any of the planned bookings. Great job First Light Travel! Would love to recommend everyone going to New Zealand to go with you guys! I bumped into First Light through Trip Advisor and there were tons of reviews on them. Without a doubt, I emailed them and Jo replied. From there we had a discussion on how we can make our trip way better than what I had researched.I had to make this trip an amazing one because New Zealand was where I was about to
propose to my girlfriend.

They are polite and patience in giving us information on the New Zealand activities that we wanted to do. We had limited knowledge on how we can make our holiday more exciting. We Liaised with Jo and she gave us an amazing itinerary that went very smoothly. Jo was even concerned about us when one of the days we didn't get to our accommodation due to bad weather! It was pretty nice of them to go through the extra mile on this. Trust them in giving you the best itinerary for your needs. I have been travelling to a few places and to be honest, I was very happy and satisfied with their responses, their excellent service and this has got to be my number one choice.

Shelley with First Light Travel did an AMAZING job planning the perfect honeymoon. She listened to us describe our favorite activities and goals for the trip, and planned the perfect combination of fun, relaxation, and adventure. It was such a perfect trip and First Light made it easy!

Chrissy worked with Adeline to arrange their ‘pre wedding shoot’ while on holiday in New Zealand ( they are getting married in Dec 2013 in Singapore)

Dear Chrissy,

I really want to thank you for finding Glen Den station as I fell in love with the view there. It was through the journey that we found more locations to shoot We meet many wonderful people in NZ who let me shoot my pre wedding pictures such as Chard farm winery. Lake Tekapo and Queenstown were the main locations I had in mind before coming to New Zealand, however, your planning made it even more wonderful. Thank you so much once again!

Adeline Ng & Raymond Xu (Singapore)

Love your work Shelly!!

We get amazing feedback, and rightly so - our team works hard to create the perfect adventure for those about to travel ‘Downunder’. 

But this is cool, look what Shelly got in the post today. 

Thanks Charles and Brenna, we are stoked you had a blast in New Zealand (and Brenna said yes)

A few images from our Fantastic Honeymoon in NZ superbly organised by Brent 10 years ago. Great to see First Light Travel has gone from strength to Strength. Keep it up.
