We did so many activities and saw so many different places in the three weeks. Beautiful hikes and variations in landscape. Mountains and volcanoes, lakes and forests, beautiful beaches and wonderfully chilled out towns. New Zealand is truly wonderful and this is the best way to see it!
The itinerary was perfect and we saw a lot of things in between stops. The hostels were brilliant, comfortable, and fun to hang out in.
I did this tour back in April 2007 and it was the best three weeks of my life. Have been on about 5 group tours since and none have even compared. The tour group were so nice and the tour leader was a legend (Cheers Locky).
