FAMILY ADVENTURES IN NEW ZEALAND

Want to pass on your love of travel to the next generation? Travel plays a big role in introducing children to the beautiful big wide world.

Timed to coincide with school holidays, the New Zealand family adventures are accompanied by expert local tour leaders, whose knowledge, passion and experience are ideal for leading engaging trips for families. 

From the cosmopolitan vibe of Auckland and verdant hills of the North Island to the icy blue glaciers and mist-veiled fjords of the South Island, visit places beyond the well-worn tourist trails.  While there may be more sheep than people, the friendly Kiwis will make you wish there were more of them

New Zealand is an adventure sports junkie's dream. The impressive landscape is tailor-made for adrenaline, and the country that invented bungee jumping takes their adventure seriously. A magical landscape of wild snow-capped mountains, shining lakes, and roaring rivers, filled with great hiking, skiing, and rafting.

• Soak in hot pools of the spas in the thermal wonder, Rotorua
• Head out to sea in search of playful penguins, seals, whales and dolphins.
• Get a taste of Maori culture with a traditional Te Po banquet and sample the local wine with a tour of Hawke’s Bay vineyard.
• Cruise the deep blue waters of Doubtful Sound in the shadow of towering snow-capped peaks and discover the glistening turquoise waters and golden coastline of Abel Tasman National Park.

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who suit the way you want to travel. I remain independent, so I can recommend the package that fits your needs and budget. I compare options across the market so that you don’t have to, and give you honest and impartial advice.

I plan every holiday the same way. When I request quotes, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the itinerary allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. If your holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is included in the price and cannot be opted out of. You can read the Traveller’s Pledge and the rest of my approach on my Responsible Travel page.
