This trip takes all the hard work out of visiting the two islands that make up New Zealand. The major tourist areas are covered, but if you're looking for time in the big cities, then you need to make extra time at either end of the trip. There's a lot of driving involved, but that would be the case whichever way you decide to travel around New Zealand. The van is comfortable and the roads are good. There are some activities included, but more are optional which is really the only way it could be. There's so much to do, but remember that NZ is quite an expensive country and most activities don't come cheaply!

Very good trip and I had an excellent time with great travel companions. Major highlights were the heli-hike on Franz Josef glacier, jet boating on Dart River, swimming with dolphins at Kaikoura and the Tongariro Crossing hike. One major improvement item is that the subhuman pod accommodation at Breakfree on Cashel needs to be changed ASAP.

I received an email day before yesterday stating that my trip has been moved and now my flight will leave Denver on CHRISTMAS EVE and arrive in Cairo on CHRISTMAS.
And they are sorry if this causes me any inconvenience.
The young people who answer the phone cannot change my cruise to one of the same value since my dream New Years cruises are now unavailable. I spoke to three of them and each one just gives me an email address to send a complaint. No response as of yet. I feel so embarrassed for trusting this company. But I am grateful that I was able to see their true colors before I booked again. I as going to take a Mediterranean cruise with more availability a bit sooner because I was so excited. I feel sick now.
When we read in the disclosures that there may need to be some flexibility in the dates, no reasonable person actually believes that they would deliberately change the schedule in such a way to force you to miss spending Christmas with your family. But they did. And they did it by email. My $20,000 wasn’t even worth a phone call.
