Since 1988 Flying Kiwi has been recognised as New Zealand's leading adventure tour company.

Every trip is carefully structured to provide a range of activity options.  Choose from a combination of hiking, cycling and adventure activities everyday - no pressure to participate but plenty of choice for everyone.  Tasty, healthy meals are included and rather than hostels we stay in tents or cabins by lakes, mountains and oceans - waking up to magnificent views everyday and getting away from the tourist crowds. Flying Kiwi is the only New Zealand company listed in National Geographic's "Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth" for their oustanding trips, customer service and sustainability and the World Travel Awards for the last 6 consecutive years.

    · February 19th, 2023
    The guides were great, but the cost of the tour is at least twice what it is worth, some locations of the campgrounds were terrible, audio on the speaker bus was not good.

    New Zealand is gorgeous and the tour immersed us in the top areas of natural beauty. Camping on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Tasman Sea, lakes and rivers was extraordinary. Kim and Dennis were loads of fun, informed and open.
