Of course, we can! Once you have a confirmed booking on this tour, we can request additional accommodation for you with the tour operator.
- Do I need a visa?
As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot organise visas for you on your behalf as the visa requirements are regularly being updated and vary for the nationality of one traveller to the next. It is for this reason that we recommend checking with your local embassy or consulate website for the latest up to date information.
- When and where does the tour start?
This tour starts at 8 am on the first day of the tour, from the tour operator's very own Haka Lodge in Christchurch (518 Linwood Ave, Woolston, Christchurch 8062). As this tour has such an early start, you can choose to stay in the lodge the night before the tour starts, which gives you a relaxed start to your Haka experience.
