Ways to tour New Zealand
Guided Coach Tours
Travel with a group of around 25 to 48 people on a fixed itinerary, with accommodation, coach travel, sightseeing and key arrangements planned in advance. A driver, guide or tour director keeps the journey running smoothly and shares local knowledge along the way.
Guided coach tours suit travellers who want a clear plan, organised travel and the freedom to enjoy New Zealand without driving or managing each day themselves.
Small Group Tours
Explore New Zealand with around 12 to 24 travellers on a planned itinerary with a knowledgeable guide. Tours usually include transport, accommodation, guiding and selected sightseeing, with the style and activity level varying by operator.
Small group tours suit travellers who want the ease of guided travel with fewer people and a more personal group atmosphere.
Train & Coach Tours
Travel with a group of around 20 to 35 people on a planned journey combining scenic rail, coach travel, accommodation and selected sightseeing. Many tours include rail journeys such as the TranzAlpine, Coastal Pacific or Northern Explorer as part of a wider itinerary.
Train and coach tours suit travellers who want the comfort and structure of guided travel, with New Zealand’s scenic train journeys included along the way.
Self-Guided Coach Tours
Travel independently on a tailor-made itinerary using scheduled coaches, trains, ferries and transfers. Your dates, route, accommodation, pace and selected activities can be shaped around your plans.
Self-guided coach tours suit travellers who don’t want to drive or join a fixed group, but still want the main arrangements planned and booked in advance.
How does the Best Price Guarantee work?
The alternative offer must be for the same tour, operator, travel dates, room configuration and inclusions. It must also still be available to book when we review it.
Yes. The same tour, dates and room configuration must still be available at the lower price when we check the offer.
Yes. Send us the written quote or a link to the advertised price. The information needs to show the tour details, travel dates, room configuration, inclusions and price so we can confirm whether it qualifies.
The room configuration and inclusions need to match. For example, a twin-share price cannot be compared with a single-room price. An offer with different accommodation, meals, activities, transfers or other inclusions may not qualify as the same tour.
Yes. Tell us your preferred dates, budget, pace, must-see places and how you’d like to travel. We can recommend suitable guided coach, small group, train and coach, or self-guided coach options.
Yes. Guided tours have fixed start and finish dates, but we can help arrange accommodation, transfers, activities, domestic flights or other travel before or after the main tour. For more flexibility, we can also create a tailor-made self-guided coach itinerary around your preferred dates, route and pace.
