- NHNadjaliette· December 19th, 2018Overall this tour was good.

Frequently Asked Questions
- I am trying to book a tour to visit New Zealand 10-12 days, but can we start the tour on Oct 29th? We are also looking to visit both North and South island.
Unfortunately the only tours we have of New Zealand that depart on 29th October are on the following link - http://www.tourradar.com/d/new-zealand#when=29/10/2016,duration=10-14
As you are looking to do both the North & South Island you will generally need at least 14 days.
Are you flexible with your dates at all? If so there is a fantastic 14 day tour that departs on 30th October to see the details click the following link -
http://www.tourradar.com/t/34723 - Just wondering what time does the tour finish on day 10 (looking to book flights to return to Auckland that same day).
The tour ends at 6pm, but it is advised not book flights the same day, because the last day is still a travel day and if there are any delays you might miss your flight. So, just to be on the safe side we advice to book a flight the next day, if possible.
- At the beginning of the tour are we supposed to meet the group somewhere or will the tour include a hotel pick up?
Contiki includes an extra day for their North American travellers to arrive and adjust before the tour gets started so you would actually have an additional night of accommodations at the starting point hotel. You can check in any time after 2pm and enjoy Wellington at your leisure. You'll meet with your group and Trip Leader the following morning at the same hotel.
