New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

We would give First Light Travel a billion stars ********!!!!

Everything was handled with such superb care that the trip we were planning to New Zealand would be tailored to our particular likes. Melissa R., our agent, was willing to refine the proposals over and over perhaps three times to make it fit. She knows her New Zealand! And the places to see and activities to do that she suggested were perfectly us! Plus when we arrived with our voucher booklet and itinerary everything went so smoothly; each hotel or B & B, each place of activity had us on their list. No hitches at all! Our only regret was that we couldn't have stayed longer than the 18 days we planned; there is so much more to do and see in NZ!

Our driving itinerary put together for us by Rhodri was excellent & helped make this one of our trips of a lifetime. There was a good mix of scheduled activities & free time to explore many of the regions of New Zealand. The scenery was stunning & everyone we met made us feel welcome. Hosts at all the B&B’s we stayed at were excellent making this a trip to remember. The only problem is we needed more time so we will have to make plans to come back again in the future!!

Amelia at First Light Travel far exceeded our expectations planning our trip. She personalized our trip around our bucket list of going to the Australian Open, NZ fly fishing and a self-drive tour of the North and South islands. What wonderful memories!

We have booked our vacation with great pleasure at First Light Travel. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of Judith Pohn we have come to a wonderful travel plan that met all our wishes. The contact also went very quickly and smoothly. If you have plans to go to New Zealand? Then we definitely recommend First Light

First Light Travel’s put together an amazing trip for myself and a group of friends. Sofie did an absolutely fantastic job planning the trip of a lifetime. She did so well to work within our budget, interests, and style, but also offered helpful suggestions or not to miss excursions we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Everything was so super using First Light Travel and Sofie, even when planned activities were cancelled due to weather Sofie quickly always fixed it for us. It was an absolute blast of a trip and I would recommend Sofie and First Light Travel to anyone planning a trip to New Zealand.

We were a little lost planning our first trip to NZ, until we connected with First Light Travel. Chrissy was very patient in understanding our preference and customised the itinerary accordingly – Hassle-free! The entire trip went smoothly and we enjoyed ourselves very much!

First Light Travel was very efficient in helping my partner and I to plan our 3 week trip to New Zealand and Fiji. Whenever we were in doubt about anything, Shelley was always very prompt in her replies to our emails. We had a fantastic time in both New Zealand and Fiji. Shelley planned a 12 day trip for us in the South island of New Zealand and a four day trip in Fiji on Matamanoa island. All accommodation was clean, spacious and good value for money.

We highly recommend First Light Travel to anyone who needs some guidance in their trips to New Zealand and Fiji. First Light Travel has been very efficient in helping us plan our three week holiday to New Zealand and Fiji. Whenever we we're unsure of something they always replied promptly. We highly recommend this agency.
