A must visit experience: The South Island of New Zealand
Australia
23 Feb 2024
My wife sister-in-law and I spent nine days on a self-driving tour of the NZ South Island. The whole trip, accommodation and several excursions were organised by the first-rate people at First Light Travel. the magnificence of the experience was matched by the expertise and service of First Light.
It ended up being a glorious trip

Excellent self-drive trip put together by Naeelah at First Light
My wife and I finally had time to put together a New Zealand trip, after a few aborted attempts. None of the guided tours had everything we wanted, so we put together a self-drive with the aid of Naeelah, our tour coordinator. Went back and forth quite a few times on the where's and when's, but it ended up being a glorious trip, if a bit exhausting. (We underestimated our driving endurance.) Would recommend First Light to other travelers; especially those younger than ourselves (68).

I would highly recommend First Light Travel if you are interested in doing a trip around New Zealand. Rachael, Neelah and their colleagues listened carefully to our preferences during the planning stage, and organized a wonderful itinerary for us that included top class accommodations and excellent tours. They also responded quickly and professionally to address our questions before, during and after our trip.

Hi Ashlee,
Thanks for organizing our South Island tour in January this year.
It was a power packed itinerary and covered all the major highlights within 6 days!
Heli-hiking on Franz Joseph Glacier, Milford Sounds & the boat tour at Mt. Cook were truly incredible for us.
Self-driving across the island gave us a good opportunity to absorb the scenic beauty of New Zealand.
The entire tour was well designed and we had no glitches anywhere. Thank you very much.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for organising our 10 day driving trip around The North Island searching for surf. We had a fun time and everything went as planned. The surf gods came out on our second last day
We definitely would recommend you and your travel agents to anyone wanting to visit New Zealand.
Thanks, Vicki and Jim Ashton - UK

Hi Michelle
We are back home & had a wonderful NZ trip. We especially loved the south island & thought the tour you organised for us was excellent .There were many excellent experiences in your tour but the highlight was the night spent at Lanark Castle is Dunedin & the superb gourmet meal we enjoyed with other guests staying there. We enjoyed all the tours you booked for us, particularly the glow worm cave and I liked the fact that after the tour was over, we congregated in their ‘club house’ for refreshments & a great talk about the life cycle of glow worms, both informative & amusing. My husband is not very mobile but he was able to do everything you arranged for us.
I most certainly would recommend your services & have already passed your details onto a couple of people who asked.
Thanks again, great holiday!
Kind regards
