The 'Get Down Under' New Zealand Tour Company - NZ Touring options

We are New Zealanders and we know our country. We want to maximise the natural outdoor experiences, minimise the travelling time, and enable you to discover New Zealand with as much personal service and flexibility as possible. For these reasons we offer small group, scheduled vacations alongside privately-guided options. All our tours have a combination of qualities that remove the hassles of self-drive vacations or coach tours.

Does this sound like you?
"I want to experience New Zealand's wilderness, culture and lifestyle by 'doing it' rather than hearing about it. I have average fitness and want easy hiking into natural places. I want to meet the local people and try local food. Outdoor adventures should be exciting but not too crazy. Accommodation should be comfortable wth some character, not simply big sterile hotels. I want an all-inclusive, guided tour to avoid booking-hassles, but I also want time to relax and explore my own interests. Give me fun in a small group so I can meet new friends and I will be happy. Not much really!"
