Where to meet in Auckland on 5th December for North Island South Bound tour

This tour will meet at the Ramada Hotel & Suites by Wyndham, there will be a 6pm welcome meeting held in the lobby.

How much is for Single traveler for this tour?

A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. If you would like to have this added on the additional cost would be AUD$1,115.

I'm booking this trip for my parents, who are fit but in their 70's. I was wondering if I can pay a surcharge/upgrade for their accommodations to be upgraded. And also wondering about the minimum number of people required for this date to not be cancelled.

All of our tours are already set in a trip style, so that is the style that you book into and there would not be changes to the standard of the accommodation. Often if there is camping guests can upgrade to cabins on site if they are available for a charge to be paid in destination. There is a minumim number of 6 guests to have the tour run.

Would like to know more details on two tours: New Zealand North Island Highlights and New Zealand Northern Trail (Southbound). What is more popular? What is the accommodation like for both tours?

North Island Highlights is probably the most popular but only marginally. Accommodation for Northern Trail: 9 nights in twin-share 3-4 star accommodation: a mix of hotels, motels, and lodges. North Island Highlights accommodation: Hotel (7 nights), Eco Lodge (2 nights).
