Flexible Tours

Tours Built Around You.

You tell us what you love to do and how you like to move, and we will create a tour to impress you.

How booking a flexible tour works

  1. 01

    You Tell Us About Your Trip

    You tell us your preferences - what you love, how you like to move, and when you are thinking of coming to New Zealand. A few minutes is enough to get started - there is no long form to fill in.

    We Personalise an Itinerary for You

    We develop an itinerary to impress you based on your preferences and our knowledge and experience.

    We Send You an Itinerary and a Fixed Price

    We come back to you with a written outline of how the tour will work. Nothing is locked until you have seen it and it feels right.

    You Hold the Dates

    Once you are happy, we agree the actual days and they come off the calendar. Only then is there a deposit — there is no planning fee to get this far.

    You Send Us a Deposit and Confirm All Details

    Happy with what you see? You can now start the booking process.

    We send you back the agreed itinerary.

    We then send you all the necessary documentation and next steps for you.

Flexible tours are built around you. They are ideally suited to personalised itineraries with durations between 1 - 7 day tours. They suit people who know the feeling they want more than the itinerary, who are here for longer than a single day, or who have been to New Zealand before and would rather go deeper than wider.

There is no planning fee and no deposit until we have agreed the actual days.
