New Zealand: Best of the North Island

This tour was INCREDIBLE! Our mandatory fun activities were incredible and pushed me to do things I wouldn't otherwise (surfing). Our CEO, Rachel, made booking the extra activities super easy (Tubing with the glowworms was the best). Rachel was phenomenal and gave us fun facts as we drove into the different cities, showed us great places to eat, and was overall a wonderful person to tour North Island with.

New Zealand Panorama (7 Days)

Queenstown to Wellington Highlights - 7 Day Self Drive Tour

The overall experience of working with tour radar was amazing. The help with planning to fit our needs, the support around the clock, the seamless process of everything was fantastic. But we have to say that the hotel accommodations were subpar. Queenstown was okay, but Christchurch was a huge disappointment. We were so glad we only stayed there one night because it was old, the beds weren’t comfortable and it just wasn’t a good experience. Perhaps there should be a package with the opportunity to upgrade accommodations.

Southern Voyager

Tegan made this trip one to remember!!! She truly made it so easy for us to enjoy the South Island stress free, and had amazing tunes of course!! Got to meet the most amazing group of people and had so much fun spending the week exploring, partying and everything in between!

South Island Lick Tour

This tour is excellent for anyone wanting a quick trip to see all the major spots in the South Island. Heaps of amazing activities that you can do. Highly recommend going for walks at each spot to find all the hidden gems. :)

Coasts & Culture Tour

the tour was good but they can add more activities io some idle times.

• Hiking & Trekking

New Zealand West Coast Adventure

Queenstown Southern Loop

Although Rod, the driver was very nice I felt that Intrepid had not organised the tour as well as previous Intrepid tours I have done. It was very overpriced for what was provided. The van had a broken seat belt attachment with a sharp edge which ruined a down jacket I had bought for the trip. I have asked Intrepid about it but received no reply.

Milford Sound Spectacular - 7 Day Self Drive tour

The concept is a great stress free way to see all the sites and scenery with minimal planning... Fabulous!!

Discover Marlborough Sounds

Coasts & Culture Tour in reverse

Absolutely fabulous North Island Haka tour with guide Katie. Locations and activities chosen were ideal and the group a perfect size of 14. Some of the accommodation could have been a little better (for the amount paid for the tour) but otherwise a fantastic experience. Katie was a superb guide with excellent knowledge, awesome bus driving skills and sensational social skills. Highly recommend Haka tours!!

Southern Loop

I had the best 7 days on my Southern Loop tour with Wild Kiwi. This tour blew all my expectations and it was awesome to check out the Upper South Island. My favorite spots were Kaikoura, where I went swimming with dolphins and also the Abel Tasman National Park. The vehicle was so comfortable and there was plenty of space to stretch out and being able to connect to the wifi was a bonus! The pace of the tour was great as there were plenty of opportunities to do lots of walks, activities and really explore the different locations along the way. Overall, I couldn't recommend Wild Kiwi enough.

What people love about 7 Day New Zealand Tours

I had an amazing time, and recommend to anyone and everyone. Do it!

My group was phenomenal, we all had a blast together. Our guide was very communicative, using WhatsApp and a photo circle to share information, resources and photos. I’m not used to hopping hostels, so that was a bit rough, definitively pack light and try to be organized. I should have done a better job researching temperature as well - as it got much colder than I was expecting. Overall the trip was incredible and I did everything I wanted to do.

New Zealand Activities & Tours - Your Host for Curious Explorers!

Welcome to New Zealand, one of the most unique and spectacular countries on the planet and home to 5 million outdoor-loving and adventure-crazy Kiwis.

NZ is filled from top to bottom with stunning scenery, snow capped peaks, secluded white sandy beaches and wide open roads that weave endlessly through the North and South Island's amazing natural wonders. Friendly, down to earth locals and a prolific and proud indigenous Maori culture set the scene for a fascinating, rich and totally fulfilling New Zealand holiday experience .

Where should I go in New Zealand? Known locally as Aotearoa, the ‘land of the long white cloud’, New Zealand is geographically a small country, about the same size as Great Britain, Japan or the state of Victoria, spanning only 1600 kilometers from Cape Reinga in the far north to Stewart Island in the deep south. But when it comes to adrenalin pumping adventure activities and world class sightseeing opportunities, New Zealand punches well above its weight. This beautiful country is Home to Queenstown , the adventure capital of the world, where you can bungy jump, go jet boating, taste superb wine and much more. Other popular tourist destinations include experiencing Maori culture in Rotorua , the North Island’s adventure town, Lake Taupo , epic scenery at Milford Sound, glacier hiking in Franz Josef Glacier, whale watching in Kaikoura ... the list goes on and on and on!

New Zealand Activities - Things to do in New Zealand

If adventure activities float your boat, then why not skydive over snow capped mountains, jet boat through narrow canyons, go skiing down remarkable mountain ranges, white water raft in alpine waters and jungle canyons, or follow in the footsteps of New Zealand's own AJ Hackett and bungy jump off a bridge! If taking in the sights and relaxing in unparalleled tranquility is everything you’ve been craving, then experience a scenic flight to Milford Sound , fly in a helicopter, soak in the views from a geothermal hot pool, go whale watching, head up the Skyline gondola or enjoy a Lord of the Rings four wheel drive tour.

Guided tours and packages

Hiking the Kepler Track , Fiordland

By Miles Holden

Multi-day tours can be a fun way to make the most of your time in New Zealand.

Find guided tours and packages

Whether you want to see the entire country or just one region, group tour companies utilise a variety of popular multi-day itineraries. Generally, group tours in New Zealand use coach transport, with a ferry between the North and South Islands.

Multi-day guided tours are also available, where as well as seeing key sights and attractions, you’ll have the advantage of an informative guide to expand your knowledge of New Zealand.  Guided tours usually involve a small group following a customised, multi-day itinerary.
