All our seasons are so distinctive we work with the weather on a daily basis. Sure locations are better suited than others dependant on wind/temperature. So every day is different – hence the adventure.

Our holidays are perfect for people travelling alone. Not only will you be cared for by our guides, but you are sure to enjoy the bond created by the sharing of common interests. Single is a premium cost. We can try match others to your dates. If we cannot find at least one other person for the dates you want, one month before the start-date we will give you a full refund.

If you are a citizen of a country that has a visa waiver agreement with New Zealand, you will not need to apply for a visa to visit the country for three months or less. At the moment there are over 50 countries that don’t require visas to visit New Zealand. Check out www.immigration.govt.nz for more details. However, you do need a passport that is valid for 3-6 months after you intend to leave the country, proof that you plan to leave (i.e. a return ticket), and sufficient money to stay (around $1,000 NZD per month per person).

No vaccinations are required for visiting New Zealand.

We require a 10% deposit to confirm the booking and full payment 30 days prior to departure. If bookings are made within 30 days, we require a 50% deposit and the remainder prior to departure of the tour. If bookings are made on the same day, payment is required before departure.
