First Light Travel provided an exceptional travel experience! Gina was fantastic at tailoring our trip to match our needs and interests, ensuring everything went smoothly. The booking process was easy, the itinerary was well-planned, and the provided information was accurate and helpful. Highlights included Milford Sound, Queenstown’s skylift, and even the BBQ, which exceeded expectations. Our accommodations, especially in Auckland, were stunning, and transport drivers were friendly and incredibly helpful. Exceptional service and value—we’d highly recommend First Light Travel!

Excellent service and guidance from First Light Travel advisor Anna Caudle! We communicated over email and phone for the planning and the resulting self-driving tour itinerary was excellent and perfect for 15 day visit. We requested some golf be included and Anna set us up at 4 beautiful courses with morning tee-times. The hotels she booked for us were consistently great and the activities were fantastic, especially booking us on Air Milford to fly to Milford Sound! Flight was the highlight. Everything was perfect. Can’t recommend their service enough. Top rate!!

We booked a two week trip using First Light Travel with Michelle as our travel specialist. The experience exceeded our expectations.
The hotels and activities she booked for us were just perfect. We did a self drive from Queenstown to Marahau with a weekend on Waiheke Island. The sites were breathtaking and the excursions Michelle planned were just what we were looking for.

Michelle listened to what we wanted and planned an itinerary to a T. This was the second time we had First Light plan out travel and we will definitely have them book all our trips to New Zealand. Thanks so much Michelle for being so responsive to our questions and to your great suggestions.

After 3 years of 'pandemic hibernation,' my family of 5 urbanites wanted a self-drive holiday in NZ that must carry a few "not's" - not hectic, not too many places to 'tick,' not too long a drive in any one leg (as my energy levels are not that great these days), not too much of the commercial concrete jungle, ... We broadcast our needs to a few travel planners and they came back with proposals of a lower cost. BUT First Light also responded quickly and addressed our needs most desirably. We find that First Light profiled us most accurately and is worth a go.

Yes, First Light stood out amongst equals. Ms Hunapo Marcella was wonderful, empathetic, assuring and is very patient with us though we made multiple adjustments to the itinerary prior to the trip. Even during the trip, she remained responsive and addressed all our needs! The selection of activities she offered us fits our desires snugly - hot air balloon, Hobbiton, geyser, transalpine train ride, whale watching, 1.1km zipline, and a remarkable "retreat" to celebrate Christmas at Mt Cook! Indeed, First Light is a top grade travel planner and is well worth the money spent!!
