    Asked on January 7th, 2026

    I am actually interested in the 21 day NZ tour for the fall of 2027. When will those tours be available to purchase? Also the brochure does not contain information about what is included in the tour and that is something I am interested in.

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      How much is travel/medical insurance for the trip?

    • K

      Katherine

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      And what sort of deposit is required to hold the spaces?

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten January 2026

      We highly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance, ensuring you won't need to worry about emergencies that can happen anytime, anywhere, before or during your travels.

      Insurance can cover the cost of your adventure(s) in the case of an unforeseen cancellation. It ensures that you do not have to worry about any unplanned changes to your travel plans, such as having to rush home to an ill family member or having an adventure changed or cancelled because of a natural disaster. It can even help with smaller things - like lost luggage or stolen cameras.

      When selecting a travel insurance policy we recommend a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, medical, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.

      Before you book your adventure, you're welcome to obtain a quote with TourRadar's insurance partner, XCover, and check out the policy details by clicking into the date you're looking to travel from the adventure details page. You'll see the Insurance Add-On section with all the details there!

      If you have already booked your adventure, you're welcome to add insurance to your booking with TourRadar's insurance partner, XCover, by clicking the "Get Travel Insurance" button on your booking conversation page and you'll be able to add this straight away. PLEASE NOTE: Booking insurance after booking your adventure does not apply to residents of Canada. Travelers who book from Canada can only purchase insurance through XCover at the same time as buying the adventure.

      Remember that insurance requires payment upfront at the time of confirmation so we will take payment straight away from the card on file when your insurance policy is confirmed.

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten January 2026

      To secure your spot, the tour operator requires a deposit of 15% of the total price.

    • K

      Katherine

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      It's a bit soon for us to make a commitment to this trip but we definitely are interested in it. It looks like we would be responsible for most meals apart from breakfasts. Also are most activities included or do we have to pay extra for excursions? I realize that our flights to and from are our responsibility but do you offer any assistance in arranging those? Finally, when will this trip be available for purchase and what sort of deposit would be required to hold our place?

    • Wild KiwiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, the activities listed in my previous email are all included in your tour. Once you're on tour, your guide will also run through additional optional activities available at each destination and can help you book these if you're interested.

      Regarding availability for the season after March 2027, we expect those dates to be released within the next 2-3 months.
