Don’t think about it, JUST DO IT ! The guides Jason & Isaac were so humble, knowledgeable and accommodating. 100% recommend the tour, can’t wait for the South Island Tour ! Let’s goooo
Fantastic experience and worth every cent. Jason has very in depth knowledge on all the spots and will take you to a number of different locations you probably wouldn’t normally go to. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone considering it!
Amazing experience! I was hesitant at first and nervous to go on my own but I don’t regret it for a second. I’ve met some awesome people and created unforgettable memories. Would definitely do this again in a heartbeat!
If youre looking to go on an awesome raodtrip and meet new and likeminded people into travel, this is the company to hit up! The places you visit are amazing, the tour guides are really friendly and the friendships you make along this trip is just priceless! One of the best NZ roadtrips i have ever done!
Best trip of my life! Attending as a solo traveller from the South Island was an amazing experience. The destinations, accommodation, food, activities (so literally everything) was well organised and so much fun!
