Frequently Asked Questions

Flights are not automatically included, but we can add them for you. Select “Customise Holiday” when enquiring and let us know your departure city — we’ll provide flight options along with your land arrangements.

Absolutely! Most of our packages are priced on twin-share rates, but we can easily customise them for solo travellers. Just let us know your travel dates and preferences, and we’ll provide a personalised quote based on single occupancy.

Yes, definitely. We can tailor any itinerary for families — whether you’re travelling with young kids, teens, or multiple generations. Just tell us your party size and preferred room configuration, and we’ll adjust the accommodation and activities accordingly.

Yes, we do! We regularly arrange holidays for groups of friends, extended families, and special-interest groups. Share your group size, interests, and preferred destinations, and we’ll build a package that suits your group perfectly — including transport and accommodation options.

Yes, that’s no problem. We can adjust the route or replace destinations to suit your interests — for example, adding more time in Queenstown or skipping a region altogether. Just mention your preferences when enquiring.

Yes, absolutely! All of our itineraries are flexible. If you’d like to slow the pace, enjoy more downtime, or spend extra nights in one of your favourite spots — like Queenstown, Rotorua, or Franz Josef — just let us know. We can extend your accommodation, adjust your activities, and update your itinerary to match the extra days.

Of course. All our packages can be customised. Let us know which activity you’d like to change or skip, and if there’s something else you’d prefer (like a winery visit, adventure activity, or free time), we can include that instead.

Yes! You’re welcome to book your own accommodation, or we can re-quote the package without it. If you’d like to upgrade hotels, we can include higher-category rooms or premium properties — whatever suits your budget and travel style.

Yes, in most cases we can request twin-bed configurations. Some properties have limited twin options, but we’ll confirm availability and adjust your quote if needed.

Definitely. We offer a range of vehicle options — from compact cars to SUVs and premium 4WDs. Just let us know what you’d prefer and we’ll quote accordingly.

That usually means the date is either sold out, blacked out, or not yet open for booking. Contact us and we’ll check availability directly with our suppliers — sometimes we can still secure your preferred dates or offer an alternative.

Absolutely. If future rates aren’t yet published online, we can still check upcoming availability and prepare an estimated quote for you. Just let us know your ideal travel window.

Absolutely. We’re happy to prepare a personalised quote for you, even if you’re not ready to book yet. This gives you a clear idea of the itinerary, inclusions, and pricing. When you decide you’re ready, just let us know — we’ll confirm availability and help you secure your booking.

No, you don’t. We usually require a deposit to secure your booking, with the balance due 30–60 days before travel (depending on the package and suppliers). Full details will be outlined in your quote.

We don’t currently offer Afterpay, but you can pay in instalments. A deposit (usually AUD $110 per person) secures your booking, and you can make additional payments at your own pace until the final balance is due — typically 30–60 days before travel.

Auckland FAQs

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city and the first stop for most international visitors. It’s a vibrant, multicultural city built across a narrow isthmus between two harbours, with a volcanic landscape that gives it a distinctive look and feel. There’s a lot to enjoy in the city itself, and it also works brilliantly as a base for exploring the wider region, with Waiheke Island, the Coromandel Peninsula and Hobbiton all within a comfortable drive.

Two to three nights is generally enough to see the city highlights and fit in a day trip or two. Most of our Auckland holiday packages use the city as a starting point for a broader North Island self-drive, which works really well. If you’re keen to spend more time on Waiheke Island or explore further north towards the Bay of Islands, building in a few extra days is worth considering.

The Sky Tower is the obvious landmark and worth going up for the views across the city and both harbours. The Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter are great areas to wander for food, coffee and waterfront scenery. A ferry across to Waiheke Island for a day of wine tasting and beaches is one of the best ways to spend a day in Auckland. For something a little further afield, Hobbiton at Matamata is around two hours south and a popular addition to any Auckland holiday.

It’s the ideal starting point. Auckland is the main international gateway into New Zealand, and from there you can head north to the Bay of Islands, south through Rotorua and Taupo towards Wellington, or fly down to the South Island. Most of our New Zealand holiday packages begin in Auckland for exactly this reason, and we can help you build an itinerary that makes the most of your time from the moment you land.

Auckland has plenty to offer families. Auckland Zoo and Auckland Museum are both popular stops that keep kids engaged, the waterfront areas are easy to explore on foot, and a ferry trip to Waiheke or Rangitoto Island makes for a fun day out. It’s also a relaxed city to navigate, which helps when you’re travelling with kids. We have a range of family-friendly packages that start in Auckland and head out from there.

Auckland has a mild, temperate climate year-round, making it a good destination at any time. Summer (December to February) is the warmest and most popular time to visit, with long days and ideal conditions for getting out on the water. Autumn and spring are both pleasant and tend to be quieter. Even winter is mild by most standards, so there’s no bad time to visit.
