New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

Great, that we found First Light Travel. We save a lot of time and money. It was easy to prepare our plan. Just couple emails and we were ready to go. We checked the prices on the way and since we used First Light Travel, we paid less, than we would paid, if we booked that ourself. So if you would like to safe money and time, just use First Light Travel and enjoy New Zealand - Cheers

Hi Steve!

The trip was just marvellous and a big thanks from it is to you! The whole schedule was well planned. We totally loved every part of New Zealand - even so that we are investigating possibilities to come and work in NZ for a couple of years.

Few pictures attached from along the way. Feel free to select those you want to publish in you FB pages. 

Cheers!

We had an absolutely amazing vacation in New Zealand. It's hard to imagine planning a more exciting trip in the future. We had a wonderful experience with First Light Travel and especially with our travel agent Shelley. You guys helped make traveling non-stop for 2 weeks in a country 8300 miles from home an extremely adventurous yet stress free vacation!

Many thanks!

We had a really great trip and a lot of it was due to Suzies knowledge of New Zealand and her ability to customize our particular requirements. The pace of our trip turned out to be perfect as we covered a lot of ground in a very short period of time but didn't feel rushed.

She was available when we ran into trouble due to illness and an act of God. She went out of her way to help us out and to work refund issues with one of the tour operators. She was of immense help in rejigging when the Milford Road was closed and through phone calls and emails guided us as to replan our last two days in Fiordland. What could have been a huge disappointment turned out to be two of the best days of our trip. One can not underestimate the importance of the service provided by First Light once we began our tour.

All in all, a great and memorable trip. Thanks Suzie and First Light.

Our trip to the North and South Islands was a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Shelley! Our itinerary was perfectly planned and paced. Our first week was organized around the Milford Track Guided Walk with Ultimate Hikes, and we traveled up the South Island before concluding our trip sightseeing in Rotorua and Auckland on the North Island. Our itinerary was the most detailed we've seen, replete with suggested activities, descriptions of our accommodations (including the owners' names-very helpful), and information about Air New Zealand baggage limits. The travel and activity vouchers made our trip a snap, and our accommodations were expertly hand-picked. Shelley was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, detailed, and quick to answer our numerous questions.

We would definitely recommend Shelley and would enjoy working with her again!

I had the most unforgetable & amazing journey! I couldn't imagine not using First Light Travel. The itinerary was very detailed, day in and day out. The itinerary also decribed what the places where known for, & gives you suggestions on things to do & places to go. It tell you the exact times & is very precise with everything else. I was impressed. There was absolutley no stress on my vaca..and thats very rare!!! Everything that was booked exceeded out standards!! We were 2 very happy customers! I would def use First Light Travel Again if I head back that way, and or highly recommend them. Chrissy Sun, was also exceptional. She was informative, got right back to me, answered all my questions, & chatted with me to see what fit my interests!!

Thannks Again for Everything! We had a blast!!

Love your work Shelly!!

We get amazing feedback, and rightly so - our team works hard to create the perfect adventure for those about to travel ‘Downunder’. 

But this is cool, look what Shelly got in the post today. 

Thanks Charles and Brenna, we are stoked you had a blast in New Zealand (and Brenna said yes)

Nice Job Verity!!

Amazing! 19 days of pure excitement & exhilaration! Everyday was a new adventure with great accommodations & activities. Custom made itinerary organized perfectly based on our specific interests. "Hobbit" fever was free & we totally got wrapped up in it! First Light Travel is the perfect first impression of this fantastic country. We did not want to leave!

Every inquiry was replied to promptly and accurately despite the massive geographically distance between us. We became very confident in our decision to use a NZ based agency opposed to a local representative. The intimate knowledge of their own "backyard" gave us a travel experience beyond compare; certainly not one a local travel agent could arrange or we could put together ourselves.

A few images from our Fantastic Honeymoon in NZ superbly organised by Brent 10 years ago. Great to see First Light Travel has gone from strength to Strength. Keep it up.
