      Due to the change of seasons we have to end our scheduled tours in April. Unfortunately the weather impacts a number of the activities that we include in our tours and they only operate in the warmer months. Do let us know if you can travel to NZ between November to April!

    • Adventure JunkiesOperatorWritten October 2024

      We have one departure per month for our 10 day tours, however we have not yet set our 2026 departure dates, they will appear on our website in early 2025.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Would there be any chance of availability between these dates? From 22nd/23rd to 2nd/3rd Jan 2025 2026 Or 28th/29th March to 8th/9th April 2026

    • Adventure JunkiesOperatorWritten October 2024

      Looking at how the holidays fall it's unlikely that we'll have a departure that will fit in with your travel dates over Christmas and New Year travel window that you have, however the March dates do look pretty positive as we could potentially run a trip ex Christchurch on 30th March 2026. Availability is not an issue as we have not published dates yet!

      Jill

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      The 30th of March 2026 would be perfect for us. How far in advance can we book?
