    I'm interested in the South Island group tour you guys have departing on Dec 13, or Dec 14. Can you tell me how it works with lodging, how travel works, what items I would need to have, and the physical difficulty/intensity?

      We offer daily tours operated by InterCoach, and all hotel stays include breakfast. The included activities are not strenuous; however, there are optional activities available that may require a higher level of physical fitness depending on your selection. You just need to bring your person items with you camera and of course money to care for dinners and lunches or optional activities
