    Asked on November 5th, 2025

    Can I get a single supplement for this trip. I'm a solo traveller, and don't wish to share accommodations.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      We do not offer My Own Room on this tour. If this is essential for you, I highly recommend you check out our other tours 'Highlights of New Zealand' OR 'Journeys: Discover New Zealand' in which we can offer the My Own Room on both.

  • D

    Diana

    Asked on March 12th, 2025

    Can I book additional nights at the starting hotel?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025

      Pre or post nights at the starting hotel can be requested, but availability must be confirmed by our local team.

  • I

    Ines

    Asked on February 19th, 2025

    Is it mandatory to have travel insurance for the tour?

    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025

      Yes, it's mandatory for all travelers to have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance covering the dates of the tour.

  • M

    Melanie

    Asked on January 10th, 2025

    How can I update my travel insurance details?

    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      Update your policy details into the Good to Go system once purchased, before your trip.

  • R

    Richard

    Asked on January 7th, 2025

    Is it possible to avoid the hiking activities as we have physical limitations. Can we upgrade accommodations. Is one way trip to Queenstown possible in order to explore the south area. What is the total luggage that we can bring on board as we are coming from a cruise and have one suitcase two carry on and two backpacks.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      This particular tour is a part of our "Active" travel style. I might instead suggest our "Highlights of New Zealand" tour, which would have less active sport activities. Our tours are sold as pre-built packages, so upgrading accommodations is not possible. The tour you were looking at had a service level we consider more Basic, while the tour I have linked above offers a Standard service level. Our CEO can help with transportation recommendations locally, or you could opt to book something independently in advance. To confirm, you have three suitcases (one medium or large, and two carry-on sized)? That will be ok. Typically we allow only one suitcase per person, but if two of them are small then we will still have space for that. The backpacks are ok as well.

    Asked on September 15th, 2024

    what is the group size and so far how many have booked pls

    Group size

      Carole

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      What is the vehicle carrying the passengers ? and elaborate on the accommodation, please? Also, please state what time the trip ends on 8th at Christchurch

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      The vehicle used is a private air-conditioned minivan, typically a 9 or 10 seater. There are no activities planned on Day 15, the group will be having breakfast and checking out of the hotel to depart the tour.

    • C

      Carole

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      so on the 8th of December, after breakfast, everyone could leave. Is it? Although the group size was mentioned as 16, the van has nine to ten seats, according to your most recent email. Please give more details.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2024

      Yes, everyone can leave any time on the 8th, there are no activities planned. Regarding the seats, 1 seat = 2 people on a vehicle, so when we say it's a "9-10 seater", then it can fit over 16.
