  • We recommend booking your trip as early as possible. Especially during New Zealand’s peak travel season from November to February, the country’s limited capacities often fill up quickly, and your preferred options may no longer be available. Most international visitors secure their dream New Zealand tour 8 to 15 months in advance.
  • We also suggest booking any optional activities in advance along with your tour. This not only helps you avoid unnecessary stress but also ensures you secure a spot for popular activities with limited availability (e.g., whale-watching cruises or guided tours).
  • Length, route, and itinerary of your journey can be fully customized to suit your personal interests and preferences.
