SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES IN NEW ZEALAND

Looking for that sweet spot between independent backpacking and a package holiday?

Travelling as part of a Small Group tour has its perks.   There are local expert tour leaders to take the hassle out of travel arrangements and show you the sights, plus a group of like-minded travellers to share the fun with.  All you have to do is turn up with a smile and a passport

Groups are small, normally 8-16 people, meaning the trips aren’t disruptive to the places we visit, and a smaller number creates a good group dynamic; you’ll get to know a range of people from different backgrounds with a shared interest in travel.

Got the urge for adventure, but no-one to do it with? Over half of the travellers on Small Group trips are travelling solo.

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 world-class hiking, skiing, and rafting.

• Soak in hot pools of the luxury 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.
• Hike through the volcanic landscape on the Tongariro Crossing and seek out the jagged peaks of Mount Cook.

Whatever it is that draws you to New Zealand, let us take you there.
