FAQs
What is a typical group like?
Our groups consist of between 6 and 16 people who come to NZ from all over the
world! Generally our tour members are between 18 and 39, but we believe that
attitude is more important than age and therefore do make exceptions.
What do I need to budget for on tour?
Other than any activities you are thinking of doing, you will need to take into
consideration lunch and dinner – we appreciate budgeting is quite a personal thing
and varies between individuals but suggest $30-60 NZD per day. We have no hidden
costs or local tour payments.
What happens for lunch and dinner?
You have the choice of eating out but a tour group will often enjoy cooking dinner
together! Every place we stay at has full kitchen facilities, and our guides love to
host BBQs, catch fish and seafood for you to try, and offer you other New Zealand
delicacies along the way!
