Questions and answers

Are flights included in this New Zealand package?

No. This is a land package: the price covers the hotels, the sightseeing and the transfers on the ground. The trip starts when you arrive in Auckland, where the arrival transfer meets you. You reach Auckland on your own flight or train — the usual way in is Auckland (AKL).

A hotel of the same class may replace one of these if it is full on your dates.

How do I get around during the trip?

Arrival and departure transfers by private car are included, and each tour in the day plan comes with its own transport.

The hotels are booked with meals as listed for each hotel. Other meals are paid for on the spot.
