    Traveling alone is not a problem, and we do not charge a single supplement if you're happy to share a room with another solo traveler of the same gender. The price for the heli-hike is US$499 + tax, there is no cost for Option B - It is the same regardless of which option you choose for days 2-4.

    thanks...but it does sound like there is a single supplement if one does not want to share a room. What is that charge please? and please confirm the transport of gear to next spot on days hiking.

    The single supplement for the 'Ultimate South Island Adventure' is US$1799 + tax. Your luggage is transported for you from place to place. However, if you chose to do the 'Backcountry' option for Days 2-4, you will need to carry a larger trekking pack with what you would need for those few days plus a small share of the food - Your main luggage would be stored.

    No. I need to meet people in Dunedin on 15 October. Any other suggestions? I'm willing to explore north island as well but do not want to spent too much time in bus and want to walk or hike or? And nicer accommodations.

    We reviewed the Itinerary more closely to realise that the hiking distances everyday would be beyond us.

    Active AdventuresOperator•Written January 2023

    Yes, it is possible to combine both the North and South Island tours. We have scheduled our North Island departures to line up with the beginning and end dates of our South island tours to allow the flexibility to book both islands.

    There is space for 2 travellers on 16 January 2023 and this trip is also a confirmed departure. We use a small mini-bus for transport from one location to another. The bus is roomy but small enough for lots of guide and guest interaction.

  Asked on February 10th, 2022

  I am really exited to do this trip, but there are some more questions: 1. What is the average age of people doing this journey in Februar? 2. Can I use an electric bike on the bike-tour? 3. How much would be the amount to pay for a Single room, when possible? 4. What do I have to pay, if NZ closes again because of Covid?

    1. The average age range on this trip is between 50-70 years old and we usually have a diverse range of people who join this trip. 2. No, we don't have electric bikes available for the biking section. The biking we classify as easy to moderate riding that is fully vehicle supported making it easy to go at your own pace and or stop whenever you would like. 3. Depending on which currency you prefer to pay in here are the prices for a single room: USD$1,399 plus tax, EU€1249 plus tax. 4. Full payment is required 90 days prior to the trip departing. If NZ borders close due to Covid, you can switch your departure date to any date in the future. The deposit is non-refundable but other funds will be refundable as per standard booking conditions. We don't anticipate borders closing being an issue as borders are set to open to all international travels in Oct 22.
