    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten June 2026

      For travelling with us for only the first 4 days you are able to leave the tour in Queesntown. Can you confirm if this would be on the Wednesday morning (the day we travel from Queenstown - Franz Josef).

      For the Saturday 29 August 2026 departure, we can look at adding a private room upgrade if you would prefer your own room. Private room upgrades are NZD $150 per room per night, and ensuite bathrooms are not guaranteed.

      For travelling from Queenstown to Dunedin, InterCity is usually the easiest option. You can book directly through the InterCity website, selecting Queenstown as your departure point and Dunedin as your destination. The offer a daily direct service to Dunedin.

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      What time does the tour depart and where is the meeting point? What time do we arrive back in Christchurch?

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten March 2026

      The tour includes a couple of walks along with plenty of stunning scenic stops throughout the journey. Your guide will also share information on available hikes at each overnight stop, so if you're keen to explore some of the local trails at your own pace, there will be plenty of opportunities to do so!

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten March 2026

      Our April departures currently have around 6-8 guests booked, with 2-3 of those in the 18-22 age range across all departure. We expect numbers to grow over the next couple of weeks as we get closer to departure. For May, bookings are still in the early stages with 2-3 guests so far, as it falls into our shoulder season which tends to be a little quieter.

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten March 2026

      Your adventure begins in Christchurch on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at Lylo Christchurch. The property is located an easy 10-minute walk from the Christchurch International Airport. Your tour will finish in Christchurch on Friday at around 4:00 p.m. We can drop you off Christchurch airport or to Lylos Hostel. Unfortunately private rooms are fully booked for this departure date.

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      The spot left in shared dorm style, how many people are in the room and if will be all females?

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten March 2026

      We release unoccupied dorm beds two weeks prior to a tour's departure. If you are still interested in joining the tour there is a strong chance that we won't be able to get you in a dorm with your fellow travellers. If you are happy sharing a dorm with people outside of the group, we can request the hostel availability and hopefully secure you a spot!
