Hey Guys,

We had a trip of a lifetime, loved every minute. We really appreciated you looking out for us when that bridge washed out. A lot of other travelers were really left in the lurch but you guys were onto it and we were sorted – on our merry way.

Looking forward to doing it all again.

With the help of First Light Travel, our trip to New Zealand turned out to be the vacation we always have dreamed about. Everything was taken care of before we boarded on our plane: accomodations, rental car, excursions etc. We just had to enjoy our holiday, and we did, big time! Even when we couldn't make it to Franz Jozef due to flooding, First Light Travel made sure we wouldn't have to worry about our accomodation that night. Within a half an hour, it was taken care of!

Great, that we found First Light Travel. We save a lot of time and money. It was easy to prepare our plan. Just couple emails and we were ready to go. We checked the prices on the way and since we used First Light Travel, we paid less, than we would paid, if we booked that ourself. So if you would like to safe money and time, just use First Light Travel and enjoy New Zealand - Cheers

We had an absolutely amazing vacation in New Zealand. It's hard to imagine planning a more exciting trip in the future. We had a wonderful experience with First Light Travel and especially with our travel agent Shelley. You guys helped make traveling non-stop for 2 weeks in a country 8300 miles from home an extremely adventurous yet stress free vacation!

Many thanks!

I would like to mention here..my husband and I travelled with u guys for 2 wks in oct.. and I must say that Suzie did such a wonderful job of putting together our schedule.. everything was so well thought of and taken care of ...right down to the smallest detail. (The only thing that didnt happen as mentioned in our detailed daily schedule was the rain..the rain Gods didnt happen to be on our side on couple of days.) Thanks to Suzie we never had trouble with anything on any day. She chose the best possible hotels/motels/lodges to suit our budget. We also did various different activities which allowed us to experience different aspects of this awesomely beautiful and extremely friendly country.. She was more than helpful and very patient while we made changes in our itineary.

In short... if u r reading this and trying to make up ur mind to book with first light or not... I can only say... close ur eyes and go ahead... and i am sure u wont regret it..

Once again, thank u Suzie for making this a holiday that we will remember for years to come... and God willing... if we do come back to do the things we missed ( there is just so much one can do in 2 wks in a country that has so much to offer!! ) we will think of u for sure...

Shelley did a tremendous job, tailored our itinerary to fit our interests and booked the most beautiful B&B's and hotels for us to stay. The two weeks we spent in New Zealand exploring both islands will forever burn brightly in our memories! We enjoyed everything! Each activity was unique and the type of things we wanted to do. Not too many, not too busy, absolutely perfect!

Thank you Shelley and First Light Travel!
