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

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.

Can I book additional nights at the starting hotel?

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

Is it mandatory to have travel insurance for the tour?

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

How can I update my travel insurance details?

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

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.

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.

I need a single room, how much extra?

Regretfully, My Own Room is not available for the tour New Zealand – South Island Multisport.

Is there a way to accommodate dietary restrictions?

Dietary restrictions are noted in your Good To Go profile and can be accommodated, although options may be limited.

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

The max group size on this tour is 16. Currently on the 24th Nov departure, there are 12 people confirmed.

What type of accommodations are available during the tour?

The tour is based on twin-share accommodation and shared hostels. There may not be an option for your own room.

Overall is good. The issue is that it was advertised for ages between 12+ to 99. This age group is definitely too broad. My husband and I are in our 70's, but the rest of the group (14) were between 30-50. Although we are outdoor individuals who can hike and cycle for several hours, we were definitely slower than our younger companions. Our interests during these activities re. history/fauna etc... were also not that of the other travelers. Our guide was caught between the needs to ensure safety of 2 separate groups which we felt was unfair to him. Otherwise, itinerary, guide's knowledge and organization were very good.Show more

  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.
